All-New: Type 81M

Got my underfolder today. Was actually from a fella who panic bought and then flipped it. Sold it to me at a loss which is decent considering all the BS shenanigans with these things being resold.

It’s exactly what I expected for a mass produced Chinese garbage rod. Build quality is about the same as all of the former communist block AKs I handled in Afghanistan. Full stop. In other words, it’s built tough but not precise. It might be bent, it might not be. At a glance it looks fine. Honestly, I don’t care. It’s not my CZ Bren nor did I expect it to be.

Can’t wait to crush a spam can of copper wash with it.
 
I agree, the Stock is too high to get a good line with the sights. I plan to re-profile mine when I do the re-finishing. Here is a rough screen paint of what I intend to do - Should really help

Picked mine up today, barrel is luckily more or less straight with the receiver, though the stock is noticeably bent and way too high for the sights. Anyone know of ways to mount a buffer tube? Sigamco being a nazi put a damper on that route it seems.

I only found out because I have Canada Post alerts on my address. No update on my TI account

Typical CanadaPost, I went to see this new app and feature of theirs, only CP would roll out an app before properly laying the infrastructure for it first.

“Not available in your region” - 40 minute drive outside of Barrie ON.
 
Received! Woot woot!
Now all I need is someone to make an aftermarket rail to replace the rear sight so I can mount a little red dot.
That way it maintains the alignment with the barrel.

That’s weird. I got my rcmp notification on Friday and tracking number today. 288xx

Sounds like there is a problem with your order - that sucks! Does your shipping address match the RCMP address?

My order is 283, it's been over 8 days since RCMP notification and my address matches. My theory is they are waiting for accessories to be shipped between facilities for a full order to go together.

Ordered Mar 12th Order# 272XX
Processing Mar 16th
RCMP verified Mar 18th
Nothing since. Have reached to them and have been told they have the tracking but are holding it secret until it pings something. I have also been told 2 separate times now, each a week apart that the firearm went out THAT day.

Does anybody have any ideas why I am shooting short of 100m at rear sight setting 1 and 2, at 3 it is dead on.

You have to zero the rifle. Set the sight at 1.
Fire a group. Use the little tool that came with the rifle to adjust the front sight. If the group is low, you will need to screw the front sight post in. Repeat until the POI and the POA are the same at 100. If the group is left or right, loosen the front sight clamp screw and shift the sight laterally. Push it left to move the group to the right, vice-versa if the group is to the left.
 
Happy to report I got my Type 81M. No obvious issues, it has a VERY slight and barely noticeable bend to the right, but it's nothing like the bad ones here, or even my other Type 81 folder, which has a much worse bend than this one. I got my slant brake, but not the sling. I'll be contacting TI to get it sorted out. The rifle looks really good with the slant brake attached. Also, I don't have an issue with the fixed stock profile, it's fine to me. Now to clean up the packing grease and to shoot it!
