I'm inclined to agree. WE rifles work best using WE parts with minimal upgrading; NPAS, better inner barrel, better hop rubber, and that's about it. Non-WE parts are never 100% spec'd to WE so fitment and alignment issues translate into performance issues.

That said, these gold bolts look pretty as fuck.
