Yah, I do have that same problem with the pmags. I can fit 5 in the magazine no problem, but if I insert the magazine with the bolt closed it won't catch. I just run with 4 rounds in the mag.
FYI, SigmaCo Canada finally has a retail site, as noted on this Reddit thread, https://www.reddit.com/r/firearmdealscanada/comments/12z65du/sigmaco_canada_type_81_accessories/ . Forum sponsor Rangeview Accessories sells some of their products, so you could probably they bring in some of the Sigmaco products they don't list if you want to support a forum business. Of particular interest to Type 81 SR owners who have some AR parts handy is the SR AR-15 stock and pistol grip adapter.
It's because the folder has a different style of rear trunnion that has to be ground off to modify, vs. simply removing a wooden stock with a couple of pins. It's a shame because some stuff could be made for the folder like a cheekrest in place of the original wooden pieces on the stock, or a buttpad or something. I wish I was more industrious, I'd do something like that!

i know right? I love the commie folding stock, it the most robust and easy to deploy folding stock i have ever used, my only complaint was the short LOP with it.
but i found its over all design better then the one on the PE90, XCR, MDT, keltecs. its an easy push of an accessible button deploy, it locks up nice and tight, and its an easy button push to stow. no trying to pull up the stock, push some indented button on the far side, smack it to break a friction lock....
Second range day with the modified mags. Runs great! Best group at 50 yards was about 1.5 inches, and I even managed to stack two rounds. The Jmac Customs mini keymount 360 muzzle break gets the rifle shooting super flat. Really happy with how this thing shoots now

For the guys who use a magpul Zhukov stock installed in the manner that Gnutzguns uses on YouTube, do you think a zenitco pt 5 stock would work in the same manner. By this I mean insert it into the type 81 rear, file it to a correct angle and use screws to fasten it?
Thanks
Edit: The link didn't work. I was referring to this stock

If you don't have the Zenico, Midwest Industries sells a very similar stock using 1913/Picatinny attachment as part of their Alpha AK line, and you can use the SigmaCo Canada Type 81 1913 stock adapter to mount it.
DLask, Red Deer Shooter Centre, and CTC Supplies all sell Midwest products. There is also a listing for the stock at Gravel Agency, which may be a wholesaler. I would ask one of them if they can bring it in for you, or get a shop with branches on both side of the border like IRunGuns to buy it straight from Midwest and have them tranship it to Canada to their store here with their bulk purchases, and then send it from there to your location.
