Pistol grip makes it better for prone shooting. Look at the grip or grip angle on every firearm stock that isn't based on an antique design.

Okay take ya word for it mate - just trying to get my head around why someone would want to buy an AR 15 look alike over a more conventional wood blued - I need convincing they are not just wanting to look Rambo like - perhaps I need to use one - they just look awkward to me -as if they would not handle well

Because I like Toyota's and my mate likes Nissans - same, same. We all like different things and just because somebody decides they dont like a certain configuration, look, colour etc, doesnt mean we all have to follow that persons likes. Be a boring old world if wee did eh........and dont forget the "15 minute city". I've never fired a real AR, would love to. I can see the benefit in a very fast 17. I happen to like semi's, just cos I can. But, those that know me also know that wood/blued does it for me too. Lets not jump on the bandwagon of the anti's and continue to vilify our fellow law abiding LFO's just cos they dont have the same tastes as us. Lets all stand together for once and stop giving the anti's and the popo fuel for their warped arguments as to why we should not owb firearms at all.
