Plus it’s experienced... so that’s gotta be worth a few bucks.

As is tradition! Much like any mechanical object, guns on CGN EE get BETTER as they get used up and worn out! Its science.

Thats why they go up for 98% of original sticker price! Why buy new with warranty when you can pay new prices with ZERO coverage AND roll the dice that its "only fired 12 and half rounds"!?

When you have to bump the add 13 times and get offended at lower offers, that's how you know you're asking price is more than fair as well

I was quoted min $150 to thread a t81 muzzle by dlask.

like anything on EE what the buyer is willing to pay is his/her own choice nobody else.

Does anyone have measurements for the Type 81 lower handguard? I have a lot of time on my hands and would like to carve and file a 'Krinkov' style thumbhole grip.

So T81 has been around a couple years now. Are they reliable ?

Utterly. usually shooting in significant sub zero weather... 1000+ rounds including some soft points, and even hollow points. ZERO malfunctions.

Yep,the QC and fit and finish can be a little ruff but it goes BANG! Every time. Love it.

i know 3 trappers using them and one now with 5 rounds magazines and they work. a bunch of them used the sks and vz or cz 858 ...

For a SHTF gun, I would have a hard not choosing this over my other semis. Something about the compact and nice shooting aspect of my folder, and the fact it is a tank!

Finally finished my build video.

Excellent video and well done

Magpul AK 20/5 pmags work good but need some modifications to click in. Might be a 10/5. Have to go look.

Did parts kits/spare parts ever show up in country?

Yep, but they were gone right quick. More have landed and are being put together according to TI.

 

[jimmyduncan23]

wish they had decent spare parts, extra wood, gas coverings, bolts. especially now they are discontinuing these. I have looked at overseas sites to find any parts and nothing.

I understand the Type 81 bayonet purchasing spree was to abate post pre-purchase anxiety in 2017 and fill the waiting gap that we all were subjected to. I finally got around to purchasing and installing a 1" lug extension which is a, relatively, non-bubba'd method of attaching the bayonet so it's ring sits properly on end of the barrel.

Has anyone ever found a rigid clamping scope mount that works with the rear sight block or receiver, as doing a side looks intense.

I've been looking for something like this. Which extension did you find works? Is the fitment fairly firm?
