VERY intriguing. The stock looks a little wonky, but that's a price worth paying in my opinion (it's probably fixable too.) Let's hope it works as intended and it should fly off the shelves. Edit: Finally, an AEG manufacturer got the trigger guard right! A milled trigger guard is correct for all of WWII.

Yep, that stock is a bit weird. Makes you wonder if the designers actually had a real M1 (or dummy) to work from. With luck they might bring the price down a bit more on sale.

My experience with Evike has not generally been good when it comes to pre sales. In some cases you end up saving a lot and in some cases ultimately prices come down to (or in some cases lower) than the pre sale cost. The pre sale items are typically first run iterations with teething problems (although by using the tried and true version 7 that shouldn't be an issue. The real problem is the wide open time frame. They are expecting January deliveries but factors like dock challenges, Customs holds and other variables outside their control means your money can be tied up for a LONG time. Often way beyond the estimate. (BAR! For example). My S&T Springfield was pre ordered and was a pleasant transaction on all counts.
I will no doubt buy this and am thrilled that we have a lower cost option for an M1 Garand. Just four years ago who would have believed we'd have three major manufacturers offering an AEG M1 Garand especially one at $300.00 with real wood! This may (although I won't hold my breath) force a lower price on the ICS and GnG! Perhaps the clip will be interchangeable with the GnG and be more readily available and affordable.
The stock grip area does look goofy doesn't it. Perhaps less so in person?
