All-New: Type 81M
- Thread starter Tactical Imports
- Start date
It was a part of 'process purgatory' joke. Hahaha
GP Dreamers, I used it for a week and got a bunch of scam emails for my post. I deleted my ad and they wouldn't let me re post just the scope. Seeing as that was an issue I sent a "nice" email and Ill just buy local/online with trusted retailers. I made it this far in life without GP.
269XX and I just got shipping a couple days ago. Think they're going in order number sequence.
Hard to believe. Who knows.
stumbled onto a US military info site when I was looking for Type 81 info. It listed the countries where Type 81's are 'prolific'. Were in questionable company gentlemen.
Afghanistan, Algeria, Bangladesh, Benin, Cambodia, China, Djibouti, Gabon, Ghana, Guinea, Iraq, Ivory Coast, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Kurdistan, Kyrgyzstan, Laos (People's Democratic Republic), Myanmar, Niger, Nigeria, Pakistan, Rwanda, Senegal, South Africa, South Sudan, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Syria, Tajikistan, Tanzania, Uganda, Zimbabwe

ORDER MARCH 12 - RECEIVED MARCH 22 - This is my current purchase experience. Pardon the caps but I wanted to draw attention to the post. I sent an email to Ti telling them my underfolder arrived with a bent stock that closes unevenly, contacts the magazine when opening and scratches the handguard when closed. And Henrys reply was "Upon inspection of our inventory. The lower handguards all have some variants and its normal". He is probably responding to hundreds of emails so I understand the confusion. Going to be calm and patient and open a warranty claim and see where this all goes. Not sure if I'm over reacting. Started a thread on it.

T.I. Please inspect the rifles and do not send them out crooked, i will not accept a crooked rifle and none should. for $1200 which is a very high price for these, they should be in perfect condition. Instead of buying these crooked rifles people could have added a few hundred more and bought a M10X which is $1700 in perfect condition with lifetime warranty. an sks is $500 milled receivers. These rifles are overpriced and bent folders!!!! please inspect them if it takes another week it's fine, just don't tell us it is within spec and it's fine, because there is some variance, it is not fine and there should not be any variance of this sort.

I don’t know if calm or patient are words I would use, you’ve mentioned your situation twice now on this thread, and in your dedicated thread you made the first reply to your own opening comment with an almost identical one like an hour later. You’re making it sound like a medical emergency.

Sorry but the SKS analogy doesn’t fly either, closest comparison is the SKS D and that’s still a $1200 used rifle that only shares magazines and a caliber by comparison. The M10X costs more for a rifle that works less.
For $1200 if the worst you have to complain about is bending back a wire frame stock, you’re grabbing smoke.

I'll stick with my $200 Russian SKS and open sights. Clearly that M10X (Z whatever) has some growing pains to sort out.
having said that, I'm genuinely sorry that Chinese quality control is biting some guys in the a$s where these Type 81's are concerned. Always remember it's not T.I's fault, they didn't make them (most likely some political prisoner serving his life in a penal colony did), and I'm confident they will make it right. Patience is a virtue.
