All-New: Type 81M

Zdragunov said:
I don’t think anything really changed… same story same people just the rifles are different. Someone always have to complain about something… if it’s not the m305 then it was the type97 and so on… why can’t we just be happy about these beautiful rifles. They are not perfect but what is… end of rant.. let’s go back to the order#/shipping dates and possible upgrade discussions… lot more fun

Well you would know, you have been here a while. And yes please, lets get back to civil discussion. I'll start aha as I am new to the Type 81. Does she run better well oiled or greased or fine dry?
 
Got mine, visibly bent, gonna curve these bullets like Angelia Jolie, mocking Mr Zhukov on to push away depressing feeling of bent rifles, and the mass being okay with that..

Thanks for the data. I never really understood doing all those extra steps just to end up with "the rifle is on at 100, when set to 100". Why not just zero at 100, using the 100 setting lol. Im jk a bit of course, honestly i do think this zeroing method was used so the conscript level troops in the cccp would be able to more easily aquire something remotely close to a proper sight picture which granted can be tough at 100m with a thicker front post, and i know they were told to keep their sights on the universal setting as they didn't trust most of them to be messing with the elevation at all. That said for this caliber I am a big fan of a 25m zero on the 200 setting, it puts you 5 inches high at 100, but only 2 inches low at 200, and about 15 inches low at 300 which is very practical, and the other elevation settings will more or less still function. I like to file down the front sight posts so the tip is a "pyramid" (appears as a triangle in sight picture regardless of when you rotate it to raise/lower elevation when zeroing) gives you a super fine point of aim, and really helps getting a good zero at 25m. If people are like me and just like their rifle of this type to be able to hit a steel silhouette aiming center of mass out to about 300, id really recommend trying out this zeroing technique.

I'd be curious to hear about your results when you file down your front post, maybe with a picture and a bit of a how to for those of us who are a bit less mechanically inclined

I run it dry but oil or grease won't hurt it.

I’ve heard stories of these and AK pattern rifles being cleaned with diesel fuel, it leaves behind a thin layer of lubricant.

I clean mine with boiling water and lightly lube with Tri-Flow. I use the same lubricant on my bicycles.

If it slides it gets grease, if it rotates oil.

The one I got was bone dry from the factory. Gonna field strip, grease er' up and let it rip. Unfortunately, it looks like we're having rain the next 2 days... crappy spring weather.

Guess I should buy some ammo too.

Any videos of field stripping/disassembly of the T81? This will be my first one...

lots of vids on youtube
 
Opened my fixed T81 today. Barrel is bent to the naked eye, will need to measure to confirm if it is out of spec. Which I am not happy that I may have to buy measuring items to prove a warranty claim.

Is it normal for the rear pistol grip to have a little wiggle or is it supposed to be solid with no movement? I tried tightening the grip screw and reinstalling, but didn't fix the wiggle.

Also, damage to the rear pistol grip (2 gouges) out of it which I sent an email to TI about. I'm sure they will make good on it.

I am also missing my slant compensator.

This is my 1st T81 and somewhat disappointed. Guess I will see if the underfolder is in better condition that I decided to order a week later so I could pick which one to keep

You must be happy with the nice crooked rifle. If not happy then you must be you have to be some on here will tell you. or your eyes are lying to you.
Some folks on here immature ones think its perfectly fine. the ones with an immature intellect.
Most likely all the rifles are assembled crooked, some more then others. The fact that TI says the chinese are using a jig either TI isn't honest or the manufacturer just says that. Most likely the holes are punched out then the metal folded to create the receiver then assembled. Most workers have no idea that the flat plates are for a rifle receiver they are putting holes in. therefor they don't think it's important for them to align.
It would be great if a person with machining experience and calipers to measure and see on both sides how far the rivets are from a reference point and see how much difference is on both sides. i suspect it would be hard to measure and it might be very little but by the front of the barrel it is a lot.

Yes, that or ballistol.
Combloc guns you can run practically dry and that's a bonus in the cold or sand. I tend to run them really wet but that's because I spray them down after shooting corrosive. In my experience, by the way the T81 are pretty good at resisting corrosion compared to an SKS or anything else i've shot corrosive through. They'll still rust but not nearly as much.
