To me it is almost unbelievable that no one makes a quality, traditional (A1/A2 aesthetic) style A1 length stock. Sure, there probably are people out there that the A2 length works for, but it seems like 90%+ seem to prefer A1 length based on all the comments I see complaining about the A2. A1 (made with modern A2 construction) should be the standard, with A2 an option for the relatively few who prefer it imo.
