Cool ? Maybe. Sacrilege ? Maybe. You Decide...I call it a Vz.81M LOL

[Dlask Arms]

Lol, so I got myself a Type 81M to play with since I have tons of 7.62x39 in the safe and nothing to shoot it from since the Lib-Coms took my Vz.58. So far it is pretty much exactly what I thought it would be, some things are great ,some are just what they are. One thing I didn't like though was the heave LMG barrel on it so that needed trimming to size diameter wise. While I was knocking off the front sight I had a flash of (Brilliance ?), maybe ?

I had a NOS front sight block from a Vz.58 and measured it against the 81M's front sight and....EXACTLY the same height !! WooHoo !!

So tell me what y'all think, good idea, bad idea, a bit of sacrilege to mix and match Czech goodness with Chinesium ? I kind of like it and as an added bonus not only can I now use my -58 bayonet for sticking various things I also have one of the cool (Galil I think ?) bi-pods for it that Wolverine Supplies used to sell ( : I suppose it will look better once I reblue it and put the AK side folder on....

This thread is for poops and giggles so please, don't crush my dreams...




BTW, MASSIVE props to TI for bringing these in. Once I get this bad boy into the bush I'll be a HAPPY CHAPPY !

What do you think any of us would do with even half your ability and knowledge? It’s a rhetorical question (as you could probably imagine, with all the insane inquiries you receive).

Do your best or worst and share the results. At least let us live vicariously through your experiments.

Should i post the pic of my vz81 too? xD

I'm thinking of a screw in extended charging handle and different stock adapters since I'm making one for the AK side folder anyways.

Any suggestions on stuff to make ?

Everything Sigmaco used to make. Big void in aftermarket parts someone’s gotta fill. Maybe not handguards since TI has those but all the stock adapters and such.

[Dlask Arms]

Good call. We don't impede in other vendors markets if we can help it and I know TI has handguard coming. We have no interest in making those.

As far as the other stuff.... we'll get on that, don't see why not.

If you could make a version of the AR type safety selector, similar to what Sigmaco used to produce, you'd sell a loooooot of them. I have one on my 81 SA and it's night and day compared to any standard Type 81 safety. Something to think about anyway.

Looks good , make sure you post up some pics when its finished & back together.
