2nd day with the rifle. Maybe 100 rounds through it.
Gawd this thing is shmexy.
Two things to criticize:
1. My eyes can barely pickup the irons on a dim lit range. I may have to mount an optic and just live with it not folding.
2. The wood, albeit flawless, I’d like to have a bit darker.
Anyone know of an easy way to get the wood darker? I’m mechanically inclined but not any sort of wood guy. Is there anything I can spray the wood with to get a darker finish?
A couple of observations over the days:
1. The under folder is somehow more anesthetically appealing then the two side folders I’ve owned.
2. The under folder shoulder brace will snag my clothing on occasion but I’ve got no issues making a cheek/chin weld, nor have I suffered any pain or bruising from it. It’s totally fine for me.
3. The phosphate finish and black bolt is very appealing.
4. The build quality on this rifle is great. It’s on par with my LMG.
I still don’t know what to do about the sights. I run a dot, or magnification, on everything else but shotguns. It looks so good without a dot tho, so maybe this will become my dedicated LARP’ing rifle.
This is the seventh T81 I’ve owned, including one banana shaped abomination (that I still own), and the damned things won’t choke on any load - How do the Chinese build such fantastically functional, sometimes fugly rifles?
