I have been looking at the HW100 Thumbhole FAC full-length rifle. I have eliminated the carbine. I currently have a Sporter FSB fully shrouded model which is a very nice overall size/length which is a tad over 44". I basically wanted the same gun with Thumbhole stock. Then I see since then the manufacturer started putting on moderators with more of a free floating barrel configuration. I read the moderator works excellent and does not affect accuracy.... OK so far.
Problem is when I started really looking at one I can't find any specifications of overall length of the Sporter Thumbhole FAC gun with moderator. Manufacturer site shows and gives specs for 12ftlb versions only which are shorter barrel. Every site seems to only talk barrel length, which appears to be 600mm for FAC. Questions are is that with or without the moderator and what does this make the overall length of the gun with moderator?
The FAC Thumbhole full length on the AOA website starts to look like a fishing pole it gets so long. Nobody else's full-length rifles with moderators seem to be so extra long looking. Do they have longer stocks or shorter barrels? The FSB shrouded Sporter versions seem to be almost non-existent in stock in US. Has manufacturer stopped shipping those to US? Can anyone clarify?
