I recently got a underfolder kit from apex, and the button that you push in to fold is plastic, but in the pic on the site looks to be metal as it has silver scratches wear on it. My concern is first I had to dremel out the inside of the button and the holes where the locking pin goes through the plastic is already oval, thats how it came. Im just wondering if I was supposed to get a metal push button, because if I was I will e mail them.

I've never seen a plastic one...but the only kits I've seen (have) are actual Polish military de-mils...the button (and everything else but the sling and the handguards) is metal.

This is what I purchased
I noticed the pic has changed since I got mine, this one looks even more worn. I will have to find the pic I saved to see if it exactly the one I got

Here is the pic off there site now

I found the pic when I bought mine from there site, as I can see it looks like the button is metal





So from both pics it looks like the button is metal

I would have to take it apart, but I will try to get a close up shot instead

I took it out here are the 2 sides
The holes may look fine but they arent, they are oval from stress

Got an e mail from apex  " The button should be metal not plastic. I have never seen a plastic part on any AK folding stock. Please return it and we will send you a metal part and refund you for your return shipping."

So I have no idea what I got unless it was a airsoft part somehow.
