The pistol grip works well, and dose keep the muzzle from rising when on full auto, so I've been told.

The flash eliminator has been cut down and acts as a bit of a muzzle weight, but it also protects the threads and without the bayonet lug there is less chance of it being snagged in dense undergrowth.
I'll drag it round the town behind my Land Rover Kev, that should raise a few pulses !

I was surprised how well the rifle points with the extra pistol grip and loosing a few inches from the barrel certainly helps too. I guess its what Archaeologists refer to as "Experimental Archaeology" , sometimes you have to make these things to really understand the logic and purpose of the original users..

I can quite understand why the Britishicon went on to field modify some L1A1's in Northern Ireland with the front mounted pistol grip.
