TYPE 81 folding stock more pictures (DAY 6 Update "a bent rifle")

Just checked my Norinco folding stock AKS I have had since 1990. F^&$ sakes its bent. Never notice till now.
On that, its clearly the the design where it locks in. Now looking down the barrel it can certainly play with the mind.

On my own review, there is alittle peice of mind.
The fixed stock might bother me more seeing it doesnt share the same rear stock features.

I know my wooden stock is off kilter a little to the right.It might be the reason when I look down the barrel it looks crooked
 
You are hilarious! FYI, I àm a medically-retired infantry officer (PPCLI) with 32 years of service to Canada. That's a long ways from being a shill for anybody. There are many on here who can confirm my identity. Seeing as how you accuse me of nefarious deeds, perhaps you will take the time to google "major Mark Campbell" for an idea of how I actually spend my time.... ��

We appreciate you Mark!
 
No shipping notice from tactical imports yet regarding my folder. They must be in full damage control mode with all these rifles that have defects, and are ignoring the people that still dont have their pre ordered rifle.
 
HAHAHAHAHHA The m10x is looking a hell of alot better now :-/
Hell no lol.
They had issues in the US already with the few small batches produced, and M&M came to the rescue. At least TI is giving refunds and exchanges, NS does neither. If your M10X ####s the bed or has feeding issues, or other cosmetic issues you don't think should be associated with a $2000+ "5moa DMR"...well you're ####ed, $2000+ paperweight.
If anything this should give folks MORE caution and concern for jumping on a new to market rifle just to be the first to post pics lol.
What sounds good is a $200 Russian SKS. FAR better deal then a T81 or an M10X.

Does the misalignment have any impact on accuracy?

If the chamber and barrel are aligned and the rear sight is mounted beyond the point of the trunion "bend", I think it shouldn't...?

That being said, I could imagine how it would have an impact on mechanical reliability though (like feeding, extracting or locking into battery), since the mechanism in the receiver is not perfectly aligned with the chamber... unless of course the generous tolerances of an AK-inspired design allow for some slack.


:confused:

Yup NS is shat but we can discuss that in a different thread or I could go spend 3000$ on an unproven design altogether for the SLR rifle ;-)

I never got a chance to shoot mine but I’m more worried about irregular wear over time. Who knows, maybe I’m over worried about it. Regardless, I sent pics to TI and they said to send it back and assured me they would inspect the next rifle being sent to me. To be honest, I’m a little nervous about the whole thing.
