Speaking about fit and finish, anyone else have issues with "fit" of their new rifle? Upon disassembly I could barely get the dust cover off and there was no way it was going back on without a fair bit of filing to the dust cover itself. I had to file off a couple millimeters from the front and left side of the dust cover to enable it to slide forward enough to go back on. It's all good now. Also when I received the rifle, the front site was drifted to the left of center. I went to the range and put 50 rounds down range. The POI was about 7 inches left at 100 meters. Now my front sight is drifted even more left and looks ridiculous. During the range test I had a few failures to feed as well. When I have more time I'll have to do some more troubleshooting with the 5 different mags that I have. I'm still happy that I bought the rifle, but there are a few issues to work out. I wouldn't trust my life to it just yet.

same here. not impressed.

When I went to disassemble mine for cleaning I noticed the dust cover was a pain to get off and then back on afterwards, it seemed like the back tab that you push in to release was getting hung up on the receiver where it slides. Also the handguard was tricky to get off.
I only put 10 rounds through it about 80ish yards distance and seen it was shooting left of POA. The front sight on mine is centered but will have to drift it left to get it hitting proper.
Never had any feed or eject issues using corrosive surplus but I only shot 10 rounds through it. It feels like it has more recoil then my vz58.

Not sure if anyone has tried it yet, but with a file, a scalpel and 15 minutes a Magpul Pmag for an ak will fit the type 81!
it feeds and fires with no issue, but unfortunately the last round bolt hold open does not work with it because the follower is different
It fits tighter than the factory magazine with no wiggle

So nobody has received a shipping notice for a folder order yet, huh?

This is so BS...

Seeing as it's taken almost 3 weeks to get most of the fixed out the door, not sure how they're going to do all the folders in one week.

Kind of annoyed by the lack of updates. No emails from TI or anything. Nothing posted on their Facebook. If it wasn't for the occasional one line or snarky joke they post here, there'd be nothing. It'd be very helpful if they'd just come clean and say "here's where things are right now."

Agreed. Can't believe the tone of their responses and that one joke about shipping someone's order last, wtf is that? Not professional at all, definitely not the way I'd treat my customers. To me it seems like they told a lie and it keeps snowballing..

...or they were just f--king around with the guy, like so many others here have done with one another to pass the time. How would TI know who D-Leach is in real life anyway?

Plus he's the one posting pics of his new shotgun right next to his ### toy he keeps in the closet. Don't tell me we have to take everything 100% seriously here, lol!

:d

lol,, well d-leach is my first initial and last name no attempt to conceal my identity what so ever haha, and there comment on shipping mine last instead of actually telling the customer base WHAT IS GOING ON is a joke in itself as for that shotgun pic don't be jealous ;)
 
And on that note if I see no tracking info by noon Monday I will be cancelling both my rifles as well, to be honest some the of the close up pics I have seen leave ALOT to be desired and the fit and finish is comical to say the least, honestly the main reason for backing out is that my money will not help these fools in the next "scam" they have in the books.
