Right side works smoothly for me. Mine has great fit and finish, no Movement on hand guard or any other parts where wood is attached to metal. It's crazy how much there is a discrepancy between different rifles from the same batch. Mine doesnt rattle at all when shaken.

Just got mine yesterday fixed optic ready with Kobra, overall mine is pretty good, my buttstock has a little of a banana curve to it but that’s about it. I am happy with the rifle and look forward to shooting it this weekend!
Hi TI,
Ordered the two Kobra Side Mount For Type 81 ($588 each) two weeks ago. one for fixed stock T81 and another for my LMG
Received the package today, the package only has a plate and an optical on side mount. and a small wrench is wrapped in brown paper towel. Should the package include the Pin screws and right hand safety for mounting the plate? I have looked at inside and outside of the box 5 times? no luck
does anyone have similar issue?
Thanks

Ti has a measuring procedure now ? And whats their " acceptable amount " ?
If you hold the rifle horizontal in front of you or even look down the rifle bore facing towards you can you see the buttstock slightly curve, it’s either installed a little crooked or wood warped, either way or does not bother me enough to consider it a problem considering where this rifle came from lol I am still more than happy with it.

Ok, thanks. Strange CP tracker said it was ON.

More than 4mm of deviation from centre is "out of spec". Mine was over 3mm, figured they would take into account that there isn't a straight line on the whole gun and not so much. Anyone else having to measure may want to try a few times to make sure the measurement accurately reflects the amount of bend.
Just got mine today. 1272X. No bend whatsoever, furniture is amazing, and seems to have been test fired. Anyone have an idea to make the top handguard just a bit tighter? I am going to test it out in a few hours, really looking forward to it. An excellent compliment to the MCR.
Do u have an email that proves this ? This is useful info for me to have for future criticism lol
Yeah. I thought the bent rifles had been an “optical illusion”?
My bent fixed stock is about 1.5mm off and it’s quite visible. 4mm is a lot! It’s actually my receiver that curves towards the back trunnion. I still like it. I don’t like being told that I’m seeing things tho.
Ive trimmed the personal bits out but here's the email I got for anyone looking for their measuring procedure.
We understand that from first glance it may appear that your rifle is bent, however out of the thousands of rifles sold, less than five rifles have truly been out of specification. This is caused by a number of factors including the alignment of the wood handguard on the top of the rifle, the alignment of the stock, the opening on the top of the receiver and optical parallax. Due to the flaws in using visual methods to determine straightness we recommend the following procedure to determine if your barrel alignment is out of specification:
Remove the top cover and bolt. Clamp an unbendable straight edge such as a level to the side of the receiver. Use a pair of equal size stand-off blocks so that the straight edge is not resting on the rivets and is completely parallel to the receiver. Depending on the size of the stand-off block, the handguard may need to be removed as well so that the straight edge is clear and unobstructed to the end of the barrel.
Measure the distance between the straight edge and the end of the barrel with precision calipers
Repeat the same for the opposite side
Subtract the difference in the two measurements and divide by two to determine centerline deviation
Some slight deviation is normal due to the old world manufacturing techniques used to manufacture these rifles, however if the centerline deviation exceeds 4mm please let us know and we can make arrangements for refund/replacement.
Cheers!
