Well, if nothing else it is truly interesting to watch a new generation of Canadian shooter become acquainted with Norinco firearms quality. So much for a cheap(er), reliable 7.62x39mm "bullet hose" if you happen to get one with "special" features such as a bent receiver, Hand-Dremelled bolt, etc. I hope for everyone's sake that TI ordered enough of an overage to cover all of the defective rifles. Not something I'd want to have to worry about on top of getting an out-of-spec unit in the first place. I feel bad for the fellow that received 2 bent rifles, one of each style. Not even a 50% success rate for that buyer! Ouch!!.
If you're close to Edmonton PM me and we can try to arrange a time for you to come out to my place to shoot my fixed stock rifle. Pretty sure you won't be on the fence after shooting it. Not the most accurate rifle, but it's reliable and is soft shooting.
Gen 2? This rifle is more than 35 years old
Exactly, I don't know who in there right mind would think a gen 2 or next batch is going to be of better quality. They have been building them this way for a LONG time. They wont be suddenly retooling and changing anything with the fit and finish of the Type 81, if anything it will be discontinued.
I doubt the military or other countries that ordered these for their armed forces receive bent rifles.
like a run of the mill SKS = $200.00![]()
I sent TI an email. I told them that my rifles should be inspected before shipping. If they can't be inspected then I want a refund. If there are not enough rifles to go around due to The replacements going out, I would also like a refund as am not willing to wait.
I could care less about waiting but I do not want to receive a rifle that shoots around corners. And then have to ship it back. They can examine mine before zip tying into the box as that is pretty simple to do.
A few pics of mine. Not sure why the pics are sideways!!! Sorry. It doesn't look that bad in the pics and maybe not as bad as the other one posted, but the instant I shouldered it, I noticed it right away! I'm pretty sensitive to that sort of thing and it drives me nuts!

I sent them the same email basically. I just said I'm not paying the 20% return fee, so either check it first and confirm it's good to go, ship it to me and accept a return with no fee, or just cancel the order.
Kinda over this rifle at this point.
Yeah I'm still waiting to see IF I get mine. Regardless how this turns out I am never dealing with TI after this.

you working for north sylva is confirmed..
TI has agreed to replace my rifle. I’ve asked if they’re going to inspect the replacement before shipping it to me. I’m hopeful this will be resolved without any further problems. Thanks TI
