This is not the eotech holographic sights, is China's domestic production of the sights of the similar shape
QBZ-191 service rifle family
- Thread starter Blitzo
- Start date
Most likely as I do not see any EOTech brand markings.
Also, those are more similar to XPS-series sights, not EXPS. The difference is that EXPS has a QD lever and 1/3 co-witness for iron sights, compared to the XPS-series' absolute iron sight co-witness.
Wood means stock?
I believe they are referring to the handguard considering the stock isn't replaced in this image it just has a aftermarket solution attached to it.

Nevermind, found it.
In short, the text describe the major modification is essentially change out the standard handguard to one that's similar to the DMR version, as the result is a leaner and lighter gun than the standard version.
It also acknowledge the modular nature of the QBZ-191, especially that the handguard can be swapped out for aftermarket kit. The manufacturer will roll out more custom handguard options tailored for specops requirement, such as handguard that has picatinny rails on all four sides.

首见191新式步枪魔改后的样子。这是换装镂空护木后的全新状态，重量减轻，也更加紧凑了。191步枪是一款模块化步枪，尤其护木是可以更换的，目前我们见的最多的191外观是其基本型。后续也会根据特种作战需求推出定制护木，如四面导轨式护木

The most important thing is whether the handguard is free floated or not. I have a feeling this specific configuration probably is not.
It is not free floated. Notice the two screws under the front sight (behind the exposed gas block). They clamp the handguard to the front sight assembly, which in turn dovetails onto the gas block. So there's no free float.
Refresher with the video made by @Cabbage
Yes, as I said, I feel it probably is not.
That said, I am not sure if the front sight post presence itself is definitive, as the more important interface I think is that there is a six o'clock connection between the handguard and the gas block area at the barrel (which is also present on the standard QBZ-191). The front back up iron sight dovetail is a little less definitive I believe.
