Type-81 pictures, range reports, and modifications thread

Took the 81m out to a rifle skills course this past weekend. 2 days in the cold and rain. She's a little crusty now but ran flawlessly. I'm not a super proficient shooter but I was able to stack some rounds in a 1 inch square standing at 25y, at 1x, the rest were around a 1.5-2in group with corrosive surplus. 1000029163.jpg
 
Anyone have a file or know where to find one to print a vz58 stock adapter for the type 81? I know people have done it but I can't find one anywhere. I want to get a green polymer fixed stock from zahal but need the adapter to make it work!

wouldnt it be easier to buy a sigmaco aluminum adapter that no one is using?
 
Not for the price that people are asking for them, not when I want multiple and not when I have a friend who can 3D print them off for me if I find the appropriate file.
I definitely do not think 3d printing would work on a high stress point like a stock. What are people even asking for, for the stock adapters?
 
First of all, let's try to keep this clean please, no trolling, no bashing. Yes, we all know it's a cheaply built, overpriced POS made in China.
I have no problem with owners posting problems with their rifle looking for advice or help but if you don't own one I don't care what your opinion is of the rifle, I'm sure you've already posted it in another thread and we've all read it so please go back to masterbating rather than clog up the thread trying to provoke an argument (there are plenty of other threads already full of that).

You don't have to own a T-81 to post questions or comments, I just don't want to have to read through post after post of negative comments from someone who has never even seen one.

Hopefully if this thread can be kept clean it can become the T-81 sticky :)

Thank you.

I'll start off, all these pics have been posted in other threads already and I'll add more later as I get more time with the rifle.

I've modified the sights by removing the top bar and widening the V for a little better sight picture.

Modified an AK Pmag to work in the rifle.
Lower the front lip and trim the sides a little where you can see in the pic, then lower the back notch to allow the bolt carrier to pass through. I also removed a little material from the follower where it hits the rivet to allow it to insert on a closed bolt.

I also modified a Magpul AK MOE+ grip to fit. A little crude and sloppy with the dremel but it works and is solid.

So far accuracy with Cabela's corrosive 1500 round crate stuff has been around 8 moa and while nothing impressive it will do for a fun basher around my acreage and wandering the bush with something that looks AKish.

50 yards, meh. I'll eventually buy some different ammo to try in it but I didn't buy it for accuracy so I don't really care.

And my T-81 sitting next to the real deal. The AK felt more solid even though the weight felt very similar.
