Thats not how optics work... once its zeroed its fine out to infinity.

That actually is how optics work. This is particularly why side mounted optics are not popular. Keep in mind that the effect happens at long range so people shooting distances say out to 400 meters may not notice. People with a side mounted scope on a Winchester 94, as an example, will notice this effect even at short range because the scope is so far off the bores center.

With all of the comments in this group I checked for a "bent stock" and yep - very noticeable when looking down from the top. With the barrel pointed forward, my rear stock is canted to my left.

My fixed stock is the same, barrel straight but stock with the bend. My fixed stock from the original 2017 shipment had the exact same bend.

My Samson underfolder cheek rest came in, should fit nicely on the Type 81. This design lets the stock still fold and lock closed

Please update us when you install it, I'm sure a lot of people are curious

Plot twist on the order numbers, for those of you who assumed that all orders are sequential. I placed my order on Mar 14, and was in low 28***. A friend of mine just put in an order this morning and his order is in the high 25***. Neither of us had ever ordered anything from TI before. And no, he didn't make a typo, I had him double-check. My best guess is that TI keep some sort of unconventional order numbering system to conceal how many orders they actually received

Where talking about 2 different things. The rumor im trying to correct is that a reciever mounted optic centralized over the bore of a gun with a canted barrel WONT observe a progressively increased windage shift so long as the optic was zeroed. That seems to be the big concern online rn regarding misaligned Type 81 trunnions.

My 2017 Type 81 side folder is about as bent as they get, 100m POI was left 5ft left of POA before zeroing. The red dot was successfully zeroed with only a half turn on the windage knob left. When i shoot 200m the POI isnt magically 5ft to the left again.

An interesting solution to the chin not so weld problem.

Where do those come from?
