Too true.
Factory has Canadian-bound T81 exclusivity to Poly. Poly has T81 exclusivity to us to and only us.
Approved T81 version was developed in-house with Canadian-specific proprietary information that was not shared with any third party. Promises of Norinco/Dominion Arms T81's are vapourware.
Im thinking next picture should line up the guns by dates of manufacture
That would be cool

It Won't....and who cares! you know they are two different firearms.

I'm not! I was looking for a nice 7.62x39 and I ended up choosing the 858. My point is the Type 81 is an unknown quantity at the moment, so it will have to prove why it's better (maybe more accurate, ergonomics, accessories, removable mags, fit and finish etc.) than other combloc rifles.
Is that Tavor seven times better than the Norinco AR15? Maybe, maybe not. Depends on your point of view, budget, etc. Same issue here.
Anyway, I'm a pacifist at heart
so I don't like to piss people off, I'll bow out of this discussion.I will just add a thank you to TI for importing these, any time a vendor takes a risk to bring us a new product it should be recognized and appreciated!

Oh I completely agree with you. Everyone has different criteria. Some will love it, other not so much. We will see how this turns out

So why is there an Emei website with pictures of a semi auto Type 81? It's been up for at least a couple of years now and Emei (Factory 26) has an import partner here in canada. Being NS.
I don't doubt you have exclusivity with Polytech. But Polytech and Norinco do compete with each other even in commie China. As does Emei.
At least that is what I've read of why they have two such entities.
