Type 81 review

[Lucas Riflecraft]

Hi everyone, I finished my review of the Type 81 rifle. It ran it out to 560 yards and had a great time seeing what this red rifle can do. Feel free to have a look: http://bit.ly/prcc-018

great review. interested that none one brass hit the front lens objective.

I'm still debating whether or not I want to grab one of these from the Batch 3 shipment. I already own an SKS that essential serves this purpose, without detachable mags.

For the guys that have the fixed and folding version which do you prefer and how is the sight alingment with the folding stock? Cheers!

Hey thanks! I wrapped the objective just in case, first with electrical tape, then that self-adhesive gauze-like stuff. Seemed like a sensible precaution.

I really like the Type 81's manual of arms (apart from the charging handle being on the wrong side for me), but the SKS is a great rifle. I'm just not a fan of traditional stocks on tactical semi-auto rifles, and the aftermarket ones I've seen (e.g. Tapco) weren't to my liking. If you love your SKS, I'd say there's no need to get a Type 81.

folder is the one working the best for me despite being a short lop and you need a cheek weld if you put optics on.

Great vid! Where did you find that optic? The primary arms I have gets hit by cases and I’d rather a shorter lpvo!

Cheers man! I got it from Wolverine but they're out of stock at the moment. Not even listed on the website for some reason. Athlon is definitely still making it. It'll be back.

Only have the fixed, but with irons you really need to hunch down and get your face really close to the receiver to use. Would imagine fixed is better for optics, folding for iron sights

I like the look of the fixed. I like the functionality of the very-well-designed folder (even though I think it's kinda ugly...). Sight alignment's fine with either, for me, at least.
