Can we get these type 81 keymod parts from EMEI?

Because heat transfer is a thing. Because the cheap pot metal that mount is made of is not intended to hold a zero. Because clamping anything directly to the barrel is a bad idea.

The sight picture is perfect, how can you not see everything ? Works with many rifles with a raised front sight including the type 81 and type 81 LMG.

All i see is a tiny window with tiny sight picture cluttered up by the front sight ring.

Standard type 81s that we have have no barrel to mount it. And id never put that on my lmg, ill stick with irons or wait for a proper mount.

That's because that's what you are concentrating on, in practice all you notice is the red dot unless you switch it off. The best way to use a red dot is with both eyes open.

On the type 81 it's mounted in front of the iron sight and can still be co-witnessed. Not the best pic and could use a lower mount but you will get the idea.

Ok bud. If you can honestly look at this setup you have created and say “Yep. That’s a great way to do this”, then I’m not gonna be able to convince you otherwise.

He... He might be serious??

I think what this thread really proves is that the market could use some good mounting options for the Type 81 haha

Thought I saw it all but thats ridiculous, especially when the type 81 has accuracy issues due to the grenade launcher shroud flexing while firing and you want to put an optic on it?.. I'm sorry but after seeing this I hold your opinion at very low regard...
