aside from the credit card issue, there's customer service issues, they are lazy to answer my questions so they lied, and won't help me to find the right info through the right source.
it was a waste of time and this store is a total disappointment, try it out if you are into things like this.
 
Installed mine , pins were tight , I mixed up some epoxy and filled some of the open spaces on the bottom by the trigger, along the seams and at the back below the dust cover just so there is no open spaces just for that exter strength . Got to do some shooting today first time sence i purchased it at he first of march. Stock seems nice and solid as compared to it breaking when i had it sholdered when i racked the bolt for the first time. I had lots of time to polish the trigger (recomend highly) and other surfaces, I really enjoy this rifle ! now to attach a reduclas overkill scope lol

what did you polish on the trigger and other parts? I love my gun but I do think the trigger leaves something to be desired
 
There is lots of vids on doing triggers,watch as many as you can, basiclly you want to mirror polish all contact surfaces in the trigger group ,get rid of casting or machining marks, will slightly reduce pull pressure but mostly gets rid of that metal on metal feel the stock trigger has , alot of vids use dremmel sanding drums and files, dont . i use 400 wet sanding paper to smoothen and polish with those rubber eraser dremmel bits,dont rush .same idea on the carrer contact surfaces where there is machine marks and the bolt cam polish it up. Or get a reptuble gunsmith to do it . I will post pics of the epoxy
good disasemble vid :

Does anyone know what kind of bolt the folder uses to hold the plastic parts on the buttstock is? Like the thread and length (or better yet have one I can buy). I bought a used Type 81 that did not come with it but I was able to find the plastic parts so need to figure out the bolt parts.

Take it to Lowes or HD or a Fastenals etc...
There they can tell you thread pitch and figure out length
 
I'm surprised at the lack of sigmaco/TI rails in this thread. I'm currently waiting on the sigma 2.5 handguard and came looking for some inspiration; mounting so far forward really limits the options for optics when it comes to magnification. I picked up a cheap NCstar scout scope at the red deer gun show but I don't have high expectations for it.

What is the point of a HG that requires unscrewing for gas system cleaning, and then re-sighting of the red dot?
