If you don't care about the bolt hold open, you can modify a five round AK magazines to work in the Type 81.

interesting...What is it that needs to be done?

we asked a couple of years ago about the short mags but TI said there are no tooling for them.

I bought the prototype 5 rounder. It's alright but it would be better with 10 personally. More meat to grab onto to swap

i know of your prototype, its hard to believe that china cant produce a short mag but thats what they said.

Indeed, here's CGN member 3-D's Youtube video on the subject.

3-D's Channel has several other videos on the Type 81, including a custom handguard build.

As it turned out I had a few 5/10 steel AK mags in the drawer I forgot about, that were for the M1A I had in 7.62x39. I took the rotary tool with a little cut off wheel and removed the necessary metal till it fit like a glove.

Thanks guys for the info.
