I have to admit I couldn't justify the mulas to purchase one so I grabbed an airsoft replica to see if it will hold up to the recoil. I thought, heck if it doesn't ill just put it on my airsoft rifle instead. Though to my surprise it has held up extremely well after 300 rounds i've put through it so far. No drift in zero and the 6X on the bottom is way more helpful than I thought. It takes a bit to get use to to get the perfect cheekweld to see both optics but once you do it is extremely easy to just glance down to see your 6X. I just wish the LCO dot is a little bit more crisp. but that may be my astigmatism talking.

Where did you get the knock off? Good to hear it's working out for you.

I might have to pick one up just to see if I like the concept before I decide if It's worth it to me to get the real deal or not.

Aliexpress. theres a ton of them out there. I was on the same boat. If this does break I am inclined to get the real one. at least the DEVO.

Thanks man. Also good to hear you like the set up enough to consider buying the real one. I'm going to go look up the knock off now :cheers:
 
A work in progress, and just for clarification, the light is offset, even though it doesn't look it.

I'm really considering following your lead in order to give the D-EVO system a try. It looks very cool. If I like how it feels I would, too, opt for the real deal...unless you would like to compare the knockoff with the genuine for me? ;)

Magpul MOE Fixed Carbine Stock, MAG480

Got one for my WK too, suits the gun fairly nicely.

The shorter MOE fixed carbine stock is a perfect fit for this rifle as the ass end is quite long behind the grip due to the nature of the design.
I'm an average height guy at 5'9" and the LOP is perfect.
I did find the A2 grip geometry a bit wonky with the receiver angle too. It just didn't feel right. Too swept back and the angle of the grip paired up with receiver forced my index finger way down to the point where it was barely on the bottom tip of the trigger in a natural resting state.
The MOE SL grip on there (after considerable modification) makes a world of difference. It feels so much better with the MOE grip and stock.
I'm not a purely aesthetics person but the fixed carbine looks way better than the M4 standard.
I also hate adjustable stocks on guns for some reason lol

That's all it gets though. I shoot her as is now. This rifle is awesome! Been waiting a long time for something simple, cheap and reliable exactly like this!

Any chance you can take some pictures inside with the feed ramps now machined please?
 
Here is the redone barrel extension/ramps:

You have to compare it to the images from the thread I stated on the topic
Essentially they opened up the receiver slightly on the outside edges of the lower barrel extension and machined the ramps inward retaining the same angle. This got rid of the jutting Ridge by machining it in until it was flush with the receiver.
That with the reamed chamber seems to have fixed very well.
I cannot replicate the jam anymore even when pulling down on the mag while cycling the action.
I have not live fired it since the work has been done but it cycles and feeds by hand A LOT better now.
Will do a full range report on it this weekend hopefully time permitting.
