Full-on tacticool T81, including top-end 'tactical maglight' 
I'm actually pretty happy with the way it turned out. Quadrail (tri-rail, I guess, since I'm not using the top quarter) under the cheapo rail covers, Tactical Imports optic mount, 90-degree safety, and the AKSU stock. I might swap the AKSU stock for a Galil one, but I need a different bolt for it.

Love it!
And it's only about double the weight of my factory folder! ��
People are not switching out the factory folder; as you said, it would be useless and would also be extremely hard to do. People who have fixed stock rifles, on the other hand can reversibly use modded AK stocks or VZ stocks with an adapter. Those swapping a fixed stock will often choose a folder.
Ahh... I see
I put a Firefield Impulse 1x30 Red Dot on mine as I thought it would be good enough for now but once installed it sits way too high on the rail with cheek weld that I can barely see through it (the battery compartment adds significant height).
Looking for a more low profile replacement that is < $200-250, any suggestions?

Sig romeo MSR, Sig romeo 5, Holosun HS403R, Bushnell TRS-26, all of these come with low picatinny mounts i believe
Holds up pretty well for corn-based plastic with a low melting point!
Getting it machined this saturday and then real testing can begin
Manual BHO a work in progress, ignore it's chunky construction.
Looks awesome!!!

Holy moly that looks amazing!
I would buy that in a second

I like that lower and upper handguard. You've mounted a red dot on it, so I'm assuming it's got a tight lockup that retains zero?

WOW, more info on... well, everything, please! Will you be manufacturing some of that?!
That's the plan for sure!
Earlier in the thread somewhere I mentioned that I had a few things in the works. I really love shooting this rifle, and hope I can open the aftermarket for everyone.
As for more details, I'll keep things light.
The charging handle is extended, and it's no drill.
The selector switch is ambidextrous and has the same throw as an AR (could maybe throw a 45deg together in the future as well).
It has for now, but before I move forward I'll have to test it pretty extensively. I've got a 500rd case coming in and I plan to use all of it on the aluminum version of the handguard to verify that things hold up. Going to do some drop testing as well.
If anyone is located near Niagara and wants to try it out/let me install it on their rifle to test the tolerances of Norinco from rifle to rifle, please dm me! The more the merrier.
