I'm trying to fit an archangel stock on a norinco m14 and absolutely cannot get the trigger guard to lock up. I've followed all the filing and sanding tips from another thread but still can't get it to go. Is there anyone else here who's had a tough time with this and finally got it to fit? Any more advice?

1. Did you make a groove on the right side to fit the chinese receiver as it is shaped different ? Make sure the receiver is sitting flush against the stock on the side and at the rear of the heel of the receiver .
ONLY AFTER getting the stock to fit like mine in the pics above if it still wont allow the trigger gaurd to close then a little material can be removed from the trigger pad area and under the front of the trigger guard .Remove a little at a time until the trigger guard will close and ensure the trigger test after assembly is done. VERY IMPORTANT this test is done and the rifle passes the test.

you dont have to cut anywhere near that much material out of the stock. i used a dremel and only relieved about 2" of that face, and even then, only the slightest amount of material removal. Stock fit perfectly and the trigger group locked up well.
It has to be that long ..check out the bottom right side of your receiver..its cut at an angle which the american versions dont have and thats why the groove has to be cut that long. IVO are you familiar how to do the trigger test after assembly ?
nah it doesnt need to be that long, i also didnt need to remove material from the bottom. Ive done 4 of them so far, all the same. 2 of my own. Hell, the first one i did, i whittled with my pocket knife because i couldn't find my dremel

A dremel, lots of test fitting, a great deal of time and frustration. Be careful, once removed it cannot be replaced.

2.Take safety off and fire the action.
3.Keep trigger to the rear and #### the action.Keep trigger to the rear and let the action go forward .
