I'm probably missing something.

It also says you can fit a std charging lever for a more authentic look implying that it works with one and you Will be breaking cheek and shoulder to use that or maybe break your nose

problem solved by pulling stock in 2nd or third position, think no one shoots with stock fully closed.

Some AR-specific optics were designed with the nose-to-charging-handle technique in mind and would not work well with your eye too far back from the optic, some of the prism sights in particular. Either way now that I've noticed this detail I suspect it would bug me, the Warwick might be more appealing.
