Who is buying a Type81?

[HirvGotti]

Parts kit will be a must have; Now do I buy a second type 81 or just stay content with 1? This is the ultimate debate

The choice is yours. I'd say if you have the money to throw at another and believe TI's claims that there won't be another run for years it could be a decent investment. That is of course assuming these are performers.

I'm personally waiting for pictures once they complete the inspection, I'm anxious to see how the final product looks.

You have a good point; hard to say as this is my first time buying from T.I. and some people say they've made claims like this before only to be undercut by other retailers later.. I'm also curious about pictures and I'm sure seeing pictures of the final product will help me decide. Good advice thanks!

definitely getting a parts kit, will get half off with the 50 dollar coupon TI offers to existing preorders too, which is a helluva deal.

Yea that's a good idea! How do we use the coupon? Were we emailed a code or is it automatically deducted?

I used mine not too long ago to add 2 additional magazines to my order. All I did was send sales ( sales@tacticalimports.ca ) an e-mail requesting to use it for that purpose. They sent me an invoice with the discount applied and requested payment info for the remaining balance. It was a pretty simple and quick process.

Oh?wasnt aware of that,none of my 1911's or shotguns had them that I could tell.

My Norinco M305B has it - CN-CA12 (something like that anyway) as do a couple of Norinco rimfires that I have.

Was it the 25th of this month that TI was going to be taking a look at the rifles?
Was thinking of putting my $50 towards a sap6 or maybe it will be the parts kit.

I scrutinized my fairly recently purchased M305 and I couldn't find any markings like that. (Maybe old stock.)

[HirvGotti]

Today is the day! YES!!!

Inspection is on the 29th but if everything is as it was supposed to be all of our 81s are now just sitting waiting to meet our trigger fingers.

 

[cranswick]

Omg, yes! If the factory held their end of the deal, and all the rifles are complete as of today, then that would be good news indeed.

 

[Smitsauce]

Considering the time change from here to there, they are already made and sitting there waiting for the inspection this Sat!!!! Hope everything went well!!!!

 

[medvedqc]

do you know if other dealers will have them at a better price?

If TI is the importer... No.

 

[KND]

Can't wait for the weekend to see the photos at the production line that destine to Canadian soil. Lol.

 

[rockport guy]

we will all have the same question.... what to buy next?
