When can we expect information about the warranty service and length of service? Its the ONLY thing that will keep me on the sidelines.

Warranty will be a minimum of 1 year and covered by us in-house

Will you gys be able to get spare bolts, firing pins, spring kits etc.... for us??

We will have on hand for warranty work, but no plans for any spare parts kits at this point in time

We did some test firing of the Type 81 today. Recoil is surprisingly light, felt much less then 858 and SKS it was shot against today. We'll have to post some videos in the future. We'll be doing accuracy tests as well.

What he said. Nothing worse than throwing cash down and find out you have to wait for the next batch in six months

Anyone that pre-orders is guaranteed a spot on the shipment. No eta or timeframe on shipment #2.

That's why you just cancel your order then if that's the case

+2. We gave refunds for anyone that asked in the Famae case

The part that I'm having a hard time with is that Poly Tech puts out the M305 in the $600ish price range. Milled receiver, parkerized finish. All around a decent rifle for the price point. Then enter the Type-81. Stamped receiver. Blued finish. A cheap, mass production rifle with likely half the moving parts of the M305 but for $300 more. Where is the value?

Knowing who the parents of this half-blood lovechild are, I expected something more in the $500-700 range. It definitely caught me off guard to see something rolling out of the East of such obvious low build quality at the $1k mark.

M305's use new old surplus parts. Compare the Type 81 to the Type 97, that is made by the same factory and uses cheaper (polymer) components and sells for around 1k

Its made by Poly Tech which is a good sign.

Any chance of scoring railed handguards?

We're looking into it

If the T-81 was brought here in 5.56 it would make a nice basis to "Galil-ify" as it would be just begging for the Galil rear sight on the body cover, upturned ambi cocking handle and Galil folding stock (I was never a fan of the Nork AK folding stocks). Maybe TI can look into seeing if the manufactures ever considered these product improvements??

We're always looking forward for new products and ideas for the future, but we probably wouldn't look into 5.56, better calibers to choose from

Just a heads up, some dealers we've worked with have started to offer Type 81 pre-orders in anticipation of future dealer sales, however no official dealer announcement has been made and dealer orders are not being taken at this time
