I realize the thought is strange but I read that the folding stock was produced en mass because it was less expensive in the redstar arms type 81 review. Also just judging from that pic the fixed stock appears to be more lustrous. Any ways, nothing wrong with a question before you shell out 1.3 grand (extra mags) for an unknown Chinese rifle with no legitimate video reviews available.

I imagine that was for a mass produced military rifle, I believe these imports are brand new.
 
you may, with a little filing, be able to fit vz or ak pistol grips on these. when i had my cz i took a cheap akm pistol grip i bought online and it had to file a tiny bit for it to fit. it looked ugly and felt okay, not great but better than the original cz grip so i removed it. sold the rifle anyway but my point is you may be able to do it as is. i know i will try IF the t81 grip isn't to my liking but looks wise i like how it looks on the rifle so i will probably leave it unless its too tin, thick, slippery or whatever, or i just get bored lol

I ordered fixed, it was the first attraction i had to the type 81. If i really like the rifle ill buy a folder in adition, or maybe sell the fixed, but i want to get some time with the rifle before commiting to buying another

LOL! No legitimate videos exist because the actual rifles don't exist yet! You can watch a video of the prototype, a actual full auto Chinese military type 81 or a rare American version. Looks like you have to wait a while for a legitimate video.

I made my CZ grip in that picture from scratch. I'd prefer folding stock solely for one reason: metal is more suitable than wood for a heavy dose of cosmoline when these go into the PVC tubes.:stirthepot2:

Oh yeh? Pretty sure the military versions existed since the early 80s, and a few civilian versions in the states have been around since the 90s (I think). Larry Vickers has one (the 7.62 X 39 version). Regardless all I was doing was justifying my probing for answers.

That's really impressive Deckard. Must be nice to have the ability to create ur own mods. What are you planning on doing to ur T81 when it lands? Also I wanted to touch base on something else, u raised a concen about free floating firing pins and slam fires. I talked to my buddy about it and he said the SKS platform sometimes has issues with slam firing. Seeing how the T81 is a derivative of the SKS (and Ak), is this a major point of concern for u?
 
As long as you keep the firing pin channel clean you should never have a slam-fire. That said, i always point in safe direction when releasing the bolt on a live round on my sks's... just in case.

I'm going to turn an LMG type into a Tabuk. The free floating pin is best for hard military primers. Softer commercial primers can be set off. The Chinese switched to spring loaded for certain civvie rifles. I believe it's safer through a range of ammo.
 
Had my buddies sks slamfire. Took it apart,sure enough rusty as balls in the firing pin channel. On my sks's I blast em out good with break cleaner after each outing. Probably over 1000 rounds fired with no slamfire on mine. I leave the firing pin channels dry with no oil. Less crud that way.
 
Exactly...I fired both my sks's straight out of the crate...no issues...cosmoline doesn't cause slam fires, at least not with military surplus ammo, though rust certainly will...lots of guns have free floating firing pins...you don't hear the AR crowd having concerns about slam fires, cause they aren't shooting corrosive ammo...

Must've been a nerve rattling experience.

That's a great idea, the sight setup on the LMG version is definitely better.
