G&P WOC GBBR

[Zander]

Has anyone owned one of these ever? It sounds like its a clone of the WA system, did they improve it at all? I'm thinking of picking up a challenge kit because I would love to have a GBBR for plinking, and for around $200, it seems like it would be a lot of fun for the price.

I was thinking the same thing. I have never owned a G&P so I'm not sure if I'm getting a deal or a cheap piece of crap. But If I do get it since I'm building it myself, I can learn how to repair it if it ever breaks.

The G&P WOC and WOC-X are G&P's complete Western Arms M4 GBBR's. At one point G&P only produced upgrade parts to the WA M4 GBBR such as steel bolt catches (which commonly wear down), new bolt carriers (which also wear down), replacement/upgrade trigger springs (also something that wear/break). Then a couple years back they decided to manufacture their own complete GBBR.

Their WOC-X line is a recent addition, coming into the market at around $350 and are a cheap alternative. The difference between the two comes down to the WOC-X being made of aluminum instead of "steel" (face it, it's China, it's low quality steel or high quality pot metal).

Read up on the WA system. They have their issues, they do not make very good field rifles, but are a decent plinker if you like maintaining things constantly.

As for G&P quality, their metal bodies are the best in the business. NO brand is better. Their internals are also top quality.

Unfortunately the WA design just isn't very good. Any gun based off it (Western Arms, G&P WOC, AGM clones) is not going to perform well enough to field consistently. In fact, the only design I've seen for GBBR M4 that proves to be consistently reliable is the KJW.
