Type 81 Fixed stock filler block

[Excellent Tiger]

Interesting thought. Would a SAS MP5 sling stabilized style shooting stance work with a Type 81, or would the recoil be too much?

If you've got a folder try it out.

Maybe. Definitely more stable than off-hand. Front pistol grip would probably help too.

If you find a filler block solution you like, I’ll buy your stock especially if it’s an SE / red.

Why’s that? Recoils sharper, construction is shoddier, magazine insertion sloppier, worse heavier trigger pull..why do you favour the t81 over the vz58?

I have had like 5 Vz or cz 58s, and about 3 or 4 t81s

All the t81s had as good build quality and better triggers and less recoil. 58 rifles are known to have more recoil than other similar rifles and it’s true.. though I haven’t held a real AK to compare.

T81 isn’t a better rifle than a 58, I’d say they are equal for various reasons.
