Looks like Beech wood to me. It's dirt cheap and used a lot in ComBloc rifles. I see a lot of blotchiness in the lower handguard in the below pic the guy posted. Beech doesn't take stain well and has very little grain or figure. The buttstock does look pretty good.

I'm thinking they just slap (or spray) on some paint/stain and poly (lacquer) type solution on at the factory and throw them on a conveyor. Speed is the main factor in manufacturing.

Based on the order number people have posted, and when they received updates. TI can process approximately 45 orders per day. The turn around for orders in the 265XX-267XX range was approximately 4-6 days from ordering to shipping notice, assuming TI was working over the weekend, which appears to have been the case.

Based on this, we can assume that orders in the 27### range will begin shipping early next week. Either Sunday the 24th if they are working the weekend again, or Monday the 25th. Projecting out that means orders in the 28### range won't receive a shipping notice until April 12-19th.

Hope that helps some people plan out their range trip dates as they wait. Take it with a grain of salt because that's just based on what I could find and it makes a lot of assumptions.

Perhaps xfiretactical can make 1913 plate to fit the pistol plate on the rail, or maybe such a product already exists?

The mount itself has mlok slot too mount a section of pic rail, 3 slot pic rails fit although arisaka makes a 5 slot you could use with some very minor modifications

Ｉjust got my Order. Just wonder How TI comes out with the name type 81 M. The gun says type 81 SA consistent with manual and the rifle data stamp. Any thoughts?
