Haha! "Shouldering a large, fat fish". I have heard the term used, "It's like holding a Tuna".
I will agree that the fore grip was too big and I would opt for the tri-rail at the fore end and use a vertical grip. This allows the use of lights/laser sights as well. It does have some gerth to it. But having not spent a lot of time handling and using AR's before getting the FS2000, it was comfortable for me. Although a wider cheek weld would've been nice. I feel the same way about the Magpul STR's or the MFT Stocks. I need a cheek weld.
Agreed on the optic mounting to the barrel. I'm not nearly experienced like you guys on weaponry, but the engineer inside of me thought of the same things you are saying about having optics mounted to the barrel.
Aren't Israeli's completely replacing the AR with these now?
