All-New: Type 81M

Why? Is it because it will interfere with the stock in it's folded position? Or is the pivot lug in the way of a mount? I don't mind keeping the underfolder unfolded just for the aesthetics.

I agree, just don't fold it if you are using optics but you need a right hand safety, also for the fixed stock version.
 
Getting the folder, and adding an optic mount that doesn't let it fold seems a bit counterproductive, the folder will have a less then ideal cheek weld by design, but if I was getting one I'd be thinking about the railed foreend and a red dot if I wanted an optic.

Any one know how hard it is to swap between wood stocks and the original folding stock?
 
The best part about this platform is how it just absolutely REFUSES to be modernized. To be able to put a bunch of #### on your type81, you need to put a bunch of #### on your type81 lol
 
Really tempted to the the Underfolder... But also wanted to get the fixed... But on budget... Torn...

Get the fixed if you like shooting at the shoulder, get folding if you like shooting from the hip (preferably into dirt). Underfolders suck on the face, but look awesome and its the one I would choose. But I am also biased towards folding stocks
 
Hey TI, with these new models in is there any chance of acquiring some CS/LR-14 rifles (The .308/7.62 NATO T81) from China?

The worst thing about underfolders is they start killing your ribs after maybe 20th or so mag change. U/F are only for collectors and for cool looking factor. God damn that day when from the bunch of available AKs I picked U/F... never again! Big fan of side-folders since then.

I'm in on a folder as we'll. I'm assuming bolts are interchangeable as well , thinking of swapping chrome bolt from older t81 to get more of an AK look instead of black bolt

Did you serve in some army carrying an AK-47 underfolder? One full AK military magazine is 30 rounds. So, 20 magazines would make about 600 rounds. In my other life I just carried 3 full AK-47 mags, that's all. My ribs were O.K. In Canada, we can only have 5 rounds in a mag. So, 20 mags make barely 100 rounds. Don't see much of a problem.
