TYPE 81 7.62x39: LAST SHIPMENT EVER. Shipping Now. Epic Promo Video

[jrocket]

I thought they already stopped importing these. I have a fixed stock and paid more for it second hand than this new price. Thinking of adding a folder to my collection.

I’m in the same boat...waiting for it to be shipped. I called them yesterday and was told they had a bunch of orders and were a bit behind, but should be shipped out in a few days.

Yup we do layaways

ON CFO mandates ledgers for restricted purchases but nopes we don't keep ledgers for NR transactions

What are the terms of your layaway?

Thank you

What are the terms of your layaway?

Thank you

We'd ask for 35% down

Out of our hands unfortunately

Kept hoping these would sell out.... But I just caved, looking forward to 'recycling' some old electronics with this cold warrior!

How long does shipping usually take? My item just says processing since last Friday?

We are a bit behind due to order volumes, but averaging around 3-4 business days. Once shipped then there's a follow up email with tracking info!

Are there still batches with bent receivers on these?
Is that part of the inspection?

I’ve got two; fixed and folder.

My fixed is curved at the back trunnion- it’s about 2mm out at the back of the receiver. That doesn’t sound like much but it’s easy to spot.

My folder is straight.

Not ideal but is suspect both are within T81 tolerances - I enjoy both rifles. I think they’re a bargan and mags are cheap and robust.

Does that mean the it is much common with fixed stocks?
I'm quite looking into this right now and deciding if I'll get one though.

I got a folder and it was straight.

The rate of an actual misaligned rifle is at 0.12% or 1 in 813... Because of parallax and optics it might seem like a rifle is misaligned, but if you use a straight edge clamped to stand-off blocks on receiver and calipers to come up with an exact measurement that is not based on eyesight the overwhelming majority of cases are well within spec

I got a kick out of this update email from TI.



Hello,

Unfortunately no orders will be shipping out today. We use a shipping contractor to handle Type 81 processing and unfortunately they’ve had some staffing issues due to COVID-19 school cancellations. We’ve been assured they will be back to work tomorrow to resume shipping orders. Once shipped you’ll receive a follow up order status update with tracking information.

Our apologies for the delays!


TRANSLATION... we hired this guy John and a chick Jane to pack and mail the type 81’s but they both had to go home and look after their snot factories. They’d better be here tomorrow...


In seriousness, thanks for the update TI. I was getting ready to call.

Hopefully that means soonish, I got the e-mail too.

As I asked above; What measurements are within spec?

Spec is larger than the deviance on your rifle... and the next guys.
