Man, saw this ad like at 4am this morning, at work, and thought when I got up this afternoon I would order one. Nope, they were grabbed up quick

If those are the stocks made in taiwan they are pretty poor quality. I know krebs tried to use them, but sent them back. They aren't heat treated properly. Anyone Confirm/Deny? I can't say for sure but honestly that was my first instinct when I found out about these earlier in the week. The price is $120 and we haven't seen complete sidefolder kits with trunnion at those prices in years....except for the reverse-engineered Taiwanese copies which I understand are of poor quality. People that used them complained of fitting issues and inferior metal components. |

We pressed the long rivet and this happened 
We demilled the JUNK and installed a true Bulgy trunnion. Rivets looked perfect inside/out and NO CRUSHED trunnion. This product is pure trash and is quoted as MilSpec..... Oh yeah, like FlaDevmeister stated fitting these things can be hell and they are not interchangable w/ real bulgy parts. |

My bulgy krink kit came with an underfolder stock, so I had to search out a bulgy sidefolder. Thankfully I found one and didn't settle on one of those! |

Always nice to have someone back you up! Thanks |

is there any way to heat treat? There is not enough carbon in the material to heat treat properly. We also do not have a clue what this metal actual is either. so, NO... Friend heat treated on of these trunnions and YES it turned out hard enough to be considered spec. He used the squashed trunnion and cut it in half. The half heat treated was extremely strong! Without the heat treating, these trunnions are still trash.
