Vudoo barrel in XLR Envy Pro

[Jt2424]

Does anyone have any experience with a Vudoo in the XLR Envy Chassis? I am looking for recommendations on what contour and length balances the best with adding the least amount of weight to the chassis. Kukri or MTU in 18” or 20”? I like a balance point right in front of the magwell.

If you want to add the least amount of weight, get a 20" MTU.

Littlepod does that contour and length balance pretty well?

I personally don't have an Envy, but I know that everyone else I run with has to have weights up front, so the heaviest barrel you can find is the best way to go to reduce the number of weights.

Got one with 20" MTU barrel.
Been playing around with weights on the forend. Pictured here it has the internal and external weights.

Oh I ended up with an Envy Pro. Remove the weights in the rear and the weights in the buffer tube. This is only running 1 pair of external weights up front. It's not too heavy, I think it was 15.7lbs w/o bipod.

Is that 20" MTU?

And what kind of attachment is that on that Atlas?? LmO

Is that 20" MTU?

Nope an 18" Kukri.

I'll have a 22" MTU on order soon. Then I think I'll end up dropping some of the internal weights. Also got the longer nose extension for mine to get another 6oz up front.

Need to go back to the bench and play around with it some more, looking for perfect balance and less weight...

On the other hand, i do like them heavy

Littlepod do you have any internal weights in the forend? Also, what are the attachments on the Atlas legs?

Thanks thats what i was looking to do. I noticed the but pad must have changed on the XLR Envy pros. Mine looks like Littlepod’s. Badjuju I wonder if they use a different buttpad for the Envy pro JV model.

I think it was the EOY 2020 update. Standard Envy Pros have them too.

 

[Badjujuu]

Yeah, definitely looks different...it's not as comfortable as other chassis I've tried, kind of "digs in"...

Littlepod....I'm assuming you bought the attachments and then bipod feet separately?

Yeh they're the standard atlas rubber feet. Can swap it to the spiked, etc.

Good to know. Any issues with that mag extension? That is the Blamm brand one right?

Not a mag extension, just a little color block to make it easier to grab and can tell the diff between my magazines. I don't like removing the little loader pull mechanism so I don't run any extensions. I have a 12 round aluminum mag for longer stages.

 

[Jt2424]

Understood. Any fitment issues with the aluminum 12 or 15 rnd mags? Watching X-ring on youtube and one of their XLRs needed a little inletting for the 15 rounder to fit.

 

[littlepod]

I sent my XLR Envy back to XLR to measure the Aluminum mag and do some inletting work to get it to fit. They wouldn't fit out of the box.

So if you're planning on running the Envy with Vudoo/Aluminum mags, I'd call them up and ask them to inlet the mag well to fit the alu mags.

 

[Jt2424]

Okay good to know. What kind of turnaround and cost if you don't mind me asking? Feel free to PM if you don’t want to post cost publicly

Sending you a PM.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I just received my Vudoo in an Envy Pro and am having the same issue. Could you PM me the same info about XLR fixing it? Tried to send a PM, but kept getting an error.

 

[littlepod]

Just give them a call. Or run poly mags.

After XLR worked the Envy chassis to fit the aluminum Vudoo mags, have you experienced issues with the plastic 10-rounders?

Nope! I run both poly mags and alu mags about 50/50 in my matches depending on 10-round or 12-round stages, and shoot about 400 rounds a month. Haven't had any issues.

I wanted to chime in my experience.

No issues with the latest generation (thanks to @CSTactical ) of the XLR Envy JV Pro chassis using V22 aluminum magazines on a V360.

I will admit that any acting force on the magazine will cause feeding issues. However, that’s just the inherent nature of a chassis system lacking an adjustable magazine catch and the lack of fine-tuning capability on the Vudoo magazines.
