Before anyone goes out and buys this sight unseen, I highly recommend trying a Maruzen APS-2 Type 96 FIRST if at all possible, just to see if it'll fit your hand properly.
When I was into long range F-class target shooting (sniper matches), I was shopping around for an AICS for my Remington 700. My buddy Steve persuaded me to go for a McMillan A-5 instead as he said it was a superior stock. At his shop one day a fellow brought in one of his real AI AWMs and I got to try it on for size and found I didn't like the feel of the pistol grip at all. It worked for him, but not for me.
I ended up dropping a grand on the McMillan A-5 instead and never regretted it, except for the day I sold my rig.
