You're right! Mags it is!
Okay, after being thoroughly entertained by various 'Type-81' threads over the past couple of years, I have finally bit the bullet and grabbed one. Very happy to still get the free mag and sling

Okay, so wait...are you saying that the AK mags do fit then?? Like, if you spray some lube on them maybe they'll work??
Please tell me you aren't serious........
With standard 7.62x39 ammo AKA the cheap/surplus ammo that makes up 95% of this calibre out there AND combined with this style of pretty basic (some may say crappy ) short sight radius irons these guns would most likely come out minute of man out to about 250-300 yards...seems pretty "right" for a battle rifle of this style/era/cost/calibre.

^^^ Exactly, these rifles were never intended to be tack drivers period !
You should check PLA shooting test score not this.
In PLA every soldier must pass shooting tests through out entire military life。
The accuracy shooting test is 100 meter target shooting, 5 rounds, a good shooter can get 45-49 score which is definitely not 5 moa.
4 to 5moa or better seems about right, but don't forget Calibre used TI's rifle which spent at least 2 years in RCMP labs.

TI has stated before that these will NOT take AK magazines, though visually similar, the Type 81 mags are proprietary to the rifle. AK mags MIGHT BE able to be modified to fit, however, they may not feed properly 100% and will not activate the bolt hold open.

TI isn't advertising it to take AK mags because it isn't designed to take them or work properly with them.
Type 63 mags and Type 81 mags are the same.
Not all AK mags meet the same tolerances.
So saying "It takes ak mags" when AK mags variations are so wide, and the gun isn't specifically designed to take them, the line is it doesn't take AK mags.
If you get lucky with an AK mag great. But don't expect them to work. You might get them to work with mods either mild or not.
My 9mm SAF isn't designed to take Uzi mags. Or Uzi mags modified for an 9mm AR. But they work. They don't advertise the SAF as taking them.

What does it matter if it takes AK mags anyway? Are there that many guys out there with AK mags and no rifle to shoot them in? If anything the vz-58 mag would be more prevalent in Canada to try and adapt a rifle for the Canadian market to. And the visual differences between the AK mag and the T81 mags are slim so why not just use the mag the rifle was designed for?
