So you guys are basically going after each other over matters of taste? Personal preferences? Subjectively important criteria for a specific end-user?
I have a shooter SKS, a 1950 unrefurb'd collector, and I'd like a Type81 as long as the price is acceptable to ME. I don't care about accuracy that much or sweet triggers or 10 round mags. I just love Commie guns. It's not like I'm hunting or competing with it. I don't hunt, and my tarted-up AR and IPSC pistol are for competing. But if accuracy (or something like that) is a priority for you then I get Travis' perspective on cost/quality/capacities vis-a-vis other platforms like the SKS.

I want one. I am interested to see what optic mount options will be available. Is the dust cover stable enough to support an optic, or would it have to be mounted on the rear sight block somehow?
