Just looks like a clone build. 8541 Tactical recently did a video on one he had built as well.
 
They rebuilt quite a few surplused ones and used the original stocks several years ago. They were "factory refurbished" and sold out super fast. It may be one of those.


ETA: LOL.. not my post either.
 
From what I know of the A1, they never looked like that(stock is close but the scope, base, rings and barrel are not), the A3 was/is a different set up as is the A5, and I missed this earlier, the A1 NEVER had anything but a fixed, flush magazine, never did it wear AI bottom metal

Ditto to John: wrong optics, barrel, stock, magazine, rings, no muzzle deflector or porting on an A1, etc... clone build. Probably a nice build, but not what they're advertising. But the stock does look like a McMillan, just the wrong McMillan for an A1.

PS: No bipods on an A1, either.
