Are they here yet ?
<fingers crossed>any chance there is a secret contest where the first guy to ask if there is a secret contest gets a free one?</fingers crossed>
To those who have theirs already, how do these compare to a VZ58 or CZ 858? For build quality, reliability and accuracy ?
I posted this already but...
858 is milled, 81 is stamped.
858 has much better aftermarket support, 81 just landed less than 2 or 3 months ago, so parts are lacking
858 is more expensive, 81 and its mags are slightly cheaper
They are both about the same in terms of accuracy.
Reliability I have not had a single failure in either one.
Type 81 is a bit more front heavy than the 858.
The type 81's folding stock has a massive lead over the 858's wire stock (if folders is what you like)
The Type 81 scratches that AK itch. The 858 less so.
Big thing for me aswell is that a non-restricted Type 81 looks much less goofy than a long barreled 858.
Verdict: Get Both, they are solid well built rifles.
Just some random gun toting weeb in Alberta.

Just ordered a folder. I figure one of each, why not.
dont sweat the petty things, and dont pet the sweaty things
just ordered a fixed stock. figured as I am not the biggest Chinese gun fan but these are as close to an AK as we will get and seeing how most people are enjoying them so for. thought I would keep an opened mind and try it out.
for the people that have had them for a bit is there anything to keep an eye out for?.
Skimmed through the thread but I didn’t see a ETA on delivery of rifles. Is there a estimated date of arrival. I would like to order but I don’t want a 1000$ tied up for an extended period of time. Thanks for any help on this subject
^^^^^^Delivery "expected" this spring
