Type 81 Owners Corner !

[Still alive]

You guys have too much fun without me, ohhh ill be able to go shooting in maybe 13 years.

We’ll do wheel chair races then with mounted .22 Cooeys and pinned 5rd mags!

Since you obviously don't like it, I'll take it off your hands.... I expect a deep discount, though, given the dent in the lower handguard

Thanks for bringing it out today to let us try it out. I actually had no intention of buying one of these, but to my surprise I really liked it.

The bolt could use some smoothing but I agree it’s not a bad rifle. How was dinner?

Aren’t you suppose to be hungry again in 30mins?

I’ll check out the Green Lettuce!

 

[DILLIGAF]

I can’t believed you dunked your $5K rifle in the puddle to rinse off mud either!.

What else was I supposed to do ? Piss on it ! That would've been weird... LoL

No! It would have been EPIC!

Next time

 

[Claven2]

Clean your guns. I’ve already finished cleaning mine!

Yeah, that weird safety is bizarre.

Maybe an M&M DMR safety will fit?

 

[cranswick]

Yeah the safety is pretty bad, but I did find a solution...just leave it in the "F" position...

 

[madashell]

Handled one yesterday (didn't fire it).

Liked it a bit better than thought I would, however ....

The tiny sling mounts are cheesy and the 180* safety must be for people with 6" thumbs that bend in several directions at the same time. That folder looks hideous.

When all is taken into account, no way it's worth a grand imo and don't see what all the excitement is about. Not for me.

I'll stick with a couple laminate 54' Izzy SKS's for surplus x39's.

Each to their own I guess.

 

[Still alive]

I can and accept anything I shoot. However the first comments I made to DILLI were how small the pistol grip and the stock were...and I have small hands!
Together with the 180 safety, the gun is awkward for me.
I do like the looks of it esp. the ribbed barrel shroud thingy and it shoots fine for a CommBloc rifle. The AK mag changes are cool. Never done that before till now.

Yeah my Saturday’s involve a lot less shooting and a lot more exercise. Lol I have 2 guns right now I still haven’t shot and the only hunting I’ve done is one morning of goose hunting.


So to keep this post on topic. One day I would like to get a type 81

Thats fine for bench shooting. But when you are running around doing drills with other people you need it

Enjoy the time with the little ones fella's, they grow up quick! Only bonus to that is when they all have part time jobs it leaves you more $$ for guns and ammo!lol

Both my kids started hitting the range with me at 5 years old ,

 

[TheCyaba]

Still alive cut the video to short, I actually said, " Thats all you can do when TI only ships you 2 ####ing mags "...lol...

Those were my first 10 rounds ever thru it, did a pretty good job running it for the first time. Now it goes to the back of the safe with all the other useless X39 rifles I have.

I got all 10 of my mags and I ordered late and I got them only a few days ago

so rude, lol

I haven't got my T81 (if I EVER get one the way TI has been behaving???), so forgive the question... but... On a real T81, the safety is just like an AR with 180 degrees of arc. The difference is that the middle position is semi on an AR, while on these T81's, I assume there is no middle position and they have put "fire" where "full auto" would normally go.

Does the selector stop in the middle position at all? If you set it there (presumably with no detent?), will the gun fire, or is it still on safe?

I'm of the mind - having not seen one - that a safety can be machined that will only have 90 degrees of swing, assuming the safety is even removable on a T81?

 

[Claven2]

This is the least surprising thing I've read in a while. TI said this would never happen, so I just assumed it would happen a lot. I generally have come to expect the exact opposite of everything they have to say about the Type 81.

It's like watching 2008 news clips of everything Barak Obama was saying about the affordable care act.

Is uh...is there a video of that? You know, not because I'm excited, just for reference purposes only lol
