C96 isn't a light weight and I wished it came with the wooden holster.
Nice gun! I bet that thing is kinda heavy.

Ergonomically, it's much different than an AR15 though. You have to use whatever advantage you can get. The AR pistol has that buffer tube. You can use it to your advantage, just like you can use the sling to your advantage. That buffer tube is one reason why I think AR pistols are better than AK pistols. You can't get the same level of stability with an AK pistol.

I have an AR. When I can stand up and shoot I bring the rifle up to my head, I was taught not to lower or crane my neck down to make a cheek weld. I do this with all my rifles from 22LR thru .30'06.
My nose isn't close to the charge handle, bolt or back of the receiver. I only have peep or open sighted rifles.
I believe it was the Marines that came up with the nose to charging handle thing. And they were doing it with iron sights. It's a way to ensure a consistent cheek weld so your eye is always in the center of that rear peep.
