Go on Monday and talk to a guy named Mike. Secondly don't expect any customer service or any for that matter. I was in the same boat as you and promised my self that I would never return to that hell hole again. Then try to find a nice shinny silver bolt with a shinny silver bayonet. The gold ones are discoloured from storage and the black bolt's are nice if you want to tatic-cool out you sks. Also try to look for a stock that has the same number's as on the side of the reciever. If it has ######X on there it will be a quick indication of a forced match. Also try to find one with out the dimond on it, as it's another indication of a forced match. But if you looking for a shooter and don't care about collecting the get anything that has a laminate stock and take it to the range as you won't be able to tell if it will run or make nosie untill you try shooting. Also the laminate stocks are much lighter than the wood ones and also don't loosen up when you pump over 100 rounds in a row threw it. Although I don't know much about these wickedly cool cheap rifles I hope this helps out and when buying do the Hungry thing and buy 2!
