One more question; if a Canadian company were to buy the Type 81 tooling, would they need they need a different FRT if they wanted to export Canadian made Type 81 firearms to the U.S.? Assuming pistol grip long arms are not banned in the States, there may be a market there, since direct sales from China were banned, and the firearm is rare down there.
who is going to import?
we in Canada has no critical mass nor the incentive to acquire the tooling and anything associated with the manufacture of this firearm. But if you feel so strongly about it, here is a business that you might want to consider
Wish we had our own firearm manufacturing industry that made firearms for military and civilians alike.

Step 1: get millions of $Originally Posted by Ustauk
Step 2: dismantle 40+ year old production line and export it to Canada. Hope that someone is alive that knows how it was put together and how to take it apart. Also hope thst someone can provide plans on how to re-assemble it.
Step 3: re-assemble it at suitable location which you found earlier. Hope that spare parts can be found in Canada to keep production running.
Step 4: train people and get material suppliers
Step 5: hope the rifle can be sold in the US
Step 6: oops its not a "sporting rifle" better set up the production of US made parts in USA
Step 7: profit after a decade or so if lots get sold or make a crushing loss
Step 8: remember to pay all those translation fees
Brownells couldn't sell a retro AR10 while using as many in production parts as possible. This ain't gonna happen

Bang bang bangladesh. Not as easy as your idea sounds. It's a logistics nightmare.
Buying the blueprints might be a start. The whole production line tooling might be a stretch, at best you could buy critical part stamping dies and, with the blueprints, start making them on canadian machines. Of course, due to canadian prices, all-original parts, lack of economy of scale and all the overhead, it would be a $2000 rifle that would have a long run of lemons and rejects before production is refined. You'd almost be better off practicing your mandarin and begging to Polytech to keep the production line open for Canada. Or, alternatively, figure out how to make the receiver, import a metric asston of parts kits and assemble the rifles here in a SA config.

The blueprints wouldn't be enough, but even if they were they don't own them, they've purchased a license to make them but not to sell the designs on to others
Given the current political climate and materials shortage I doubt you will see any new manufacturing in Canada. Irunguns shut down their 180 project for that reason.
Thanks everyone, looks like we have to cross our fingers and hope TIs existing factorum partner can make one more run of rifles, or else what is out there will be all there ever will be.
