I found when installing a new handguard on the 181 or the 180 to make sure its level and aligned take a spare mound for an optic and run it over both the receiver rails and the handguard rails, it'll kind of self align them. Also in terms of aligning the bolt I have found sometimes the Cam Pin likes to prematurely rotate in the receiver causing it to lock up, just some food for thought.

Brother, by any chance, do you think it's possible to put an M16A2 triangle front sight on this rifle? Just as a sight post without the gas block system of course. It will reduce the accuracy since it will affect the harmonic motion of the barrel but I'm really in love with that aesthetics. XD

hot water then Windex/ammonia (neutralizes the corrosive salts) then hot water again, dry, WD40, dry again and oil. pain in the ass but it works wonders. back in the old times before the evil that is the liberals were fucking us I used that procedure on my 7.62 AR to clean up after a day of blasting Chinese corrosive ammo. haven't put any through my 181 yet as norinco 7.62x39 was on sale for 6 bucks a box. when that is gone she is exclusively going to run on the corrosive stuff.
