I've heard from more than one source that the deepfire chambers were also garbage.
Although it mimics the PTW's hop chamber, it does not by any means guarantee performance. Nor is it a huge contributor to the performance of the PTW.
I would RATHER have a PTW style chamber on my aeg, but it's a matter of quality over concept.
AUG's, vfc XCR's, G3 series, FAL and SIG series all use rotary dial hop chambers which are very good at delivering accuracy.
The M14 uses something similar to a PTW style adjuster as well.
I would argue that a well done R-hop on a rotary dial chamber could contend with a PTW hop chamber.
But my point is, don't think you'll get any sort of major performance from an M4 style hop chamber, because they're complete shit. The design is terrible, the adjustment is way too sensitive, and there's too much slack allowed for bounce.
What you want in a hop chamber is absolute rigidity from everything, you want it to be as rigid as a fixed hop, but still adjustable.
