SOLD OUT: TYPE 81 LMG Shipment 3.

[BeadyEye]

Yeah I know, 4 to 6 weeks processing. But I want my rifle now, waaaahhhhhhhhh

[GTNgo]

Yeah, so there's something stopping the bolt thread and the nut thread from passing. Either fight it to the breaking point and hope it comes loose before it breaks, or just scrap the whole original grip altogether.
I do seem to remember I had trouble initially with getting the handle off my rifle, but I eventually resolved the problem with monkey-strength.

The screw on mine won’t budge at all and the grip is super loose. Contacted Tactical import. They said they will send new grip replacement kit once their part kit arrives. Which i have no idea when..... wish they had some now so they could send it right away. Pretty lame that i bought this gun and can’t even enjoy it properly

have you asked to just return that rifle for another since there is still stock?

I had this loose grip problem when I had the rifle version... Take a big screwdriver and use some lever to help you turn it and break it loose... Put loctite and screw it back tight, never had it loose again

No, I haven’t. But i bet it will take me as long as waiting for the replacement grip. Shipping the gun and waiting to received a new one.... i’ll probably be placed back at the end of the line and wait forever lol

Good luck with that. They seem VERY reluctant to provide exchanges rn

I’ll look for a bigger screw driver. All the ones i have slips out of the screw.

They told me 8 weeks as a rough ETA for pistol grip parts....

[Curtton]

never mind.

[firearms_enthusiast-1987]

they should remove the grip and screw from the inventory (unsold) and ship those, what are we talking about? half a dozen at best from here on.

mine removed without any issue, i think most are that easy.

They are supposedly staked in place which means removing them from unsold rifles will still render them broken and useless for the most part. That would do no good for anyone. You had a weird one. Everyone with a loose one for the most part has a staked and immovable bolt.
