Thanks, at nearly $50/ea retail those sure are expensive bolts. Has anyone found a non-security bolt with shoulder that is hopefully cheaper?

I am pretty sure they are standard 6mm bolts.

These would probably work. I cant remember the length of the bolt GM bolt,.... these are 25mm long. You can also get 30mm long

https://www.mcmaster.com/91292a138 - 25mm long bolt

https://www.mcmaster.com/91292a139 - 30mm long bolt

If you have an Ace Hardware locally, they might have 6mm stainless steel bolts readily available as well.

Did you get a shipping notice beforehand? I’m traveling since before the 4th and haven’t gotten any notice oh shipping from Weapon X as of today. If they did end up shipping it without notice gonna have to get a buddy to collect it.

Mine arrived via FedEx and required a signature. I did receive a notice once the tracking number was issued that informed me of the signature requirement.

Correct; however, the wing was in the development stage when they started offering it, and development took longer than anticipated.

Is the ZTX wing an exact mold of the factory wing, and are the 2 AoA settings identical to those of the factory wing?

I ended up going with the 25mm bolts and they are a bit longer but worked fine. I replaced all of mine just to be safe.

My order was entered on July 8th, I received an update today that I am #14 on the list. The estimated completion is around end of August or early September. (ZTX Wing and Factory ZTK Height Brackets)
