Thank you Badger -- neat!

Now another question.. does the AC556 only come in a pistol-gripped configuration, or is there a "sporter" stocked version as well?

How DO traditional stocked weapons handle on FA? Are they harder to control than their pistol-gripped counterparts?
(and if so, is that a reason that the M14 never caught on much on FA, but the FAL seemed to keep it? Or am I misinformed here?)
