All-New: Type 81M

[apexanimal]

According to gnutzguy description, each mm the barrel is "off" will put you 10" off target (he doesnt mention at what distance, id assume 100 yds/m?) If this is the case, and your rifle is 4mm off, you'd still be less than 1 degree off. As we all know there are 60 MOA in a degree, 4mm would be 40 inches or about 40 MOA (a bit less but not relevant). and that's where they will take it back under warranty, so basically the worst position you could be in is 3mm off which would be exactly half a degree or 30 moa off. Now with iron sights this obviously isnt an issue as theyre aligned with the barrel and not the reciever. But if you wanted to mount an optic, thats where youd run into trouble supposedly. However just as a point of reference the vortex diamondback tactical has 70MOA of windage adjustment (35 in either direction). All you'd need is 30 to have a usable zero. Or a holosun i have laying around has approx 100 moa of windage adjustment total, 50 in either direction...so basically sounds like this issue was blown out of proportion even more than anyone originally thought lol. The only argument left would be an aesthetic one, but If someone expects me to believe they can tell a 19 inch tube is half a degree off judging by their eye alone i dont buy it.

Another post about radio silence with tactical imports really set you off eh?

Lol he prob works for TI

having a warehouse full of bent guns is wild. This thread will save a lot of people a lot of headache.

At this point I feel like it's a one man operation over there

Yep same, March 27 (around 5am lol)

Me as well, in Winnipeg since the 27th. They must have a depot packed full of t81s heading to ON

It's absolutely wild, this shipment is putting the original 2017 run to shame lol I mean that one hurt more to be on a pre-order waiting list for over a year then wait 3 months after arrival for my t81-1 folder to actually ship and arrive to only be bent lol.

I received mine and overall, I am pleased. Barrel is straight. However the duscover fitment seems really poor towards the rear sight. Dont think it will impact functioning, but is this normal?

And you ordered another one last month? Gz

Do you go to a restaurant with gross food, eat and pay for a bad meal, and then go back for another meal?

The learning curve like ---------------- with some people. Sounds like your just looking for a reason to complain

I mean it's usually a little more flush but none of them are perfect form fitted

Nah $1400 is not a large sum of money for one and two I bought a t81 7 years ago, I would have thought stuff like this would have been sorted out by the 9th shipment, my mistake I guess.


Also I bought a UF before all these reports came in and I don't remember reading bent trunnions in the specs on TIs website sooo

 

[Tomasaurus]

Got mine today, straight and beautiful rifle and a blast to shoot.

 

[mmcintyre1220]

Yeah as a paying customer I did expect more.

So when I exchange my bent rifle are they not going to inspect it ? So I can just do this over and over ? Lol 80% is probably to low of a number lol

9 outta 10 UFs on here or FB pages are bent bud but okay.

Not my problem they sold thousands of guns, I expect a product as advertised and nowhere did they say these rifles hand misaligned turrnions lol.

Maybe get off TIs tip Pal .. just saying

Yeah, TI made a claim that only 0.05% of previous shipments have issues yet, on FB, youtube, here and GP the MAJORITY of them have issues. Unfortunately, so many folks would rather roll over and accept and then attack others who speak out. Too many folks have their priorities out of order. I have a fixed and UF sitting at the PO waiting for me to pick up tomorrow . Hopefully 1/2 are straight. I thought TI had this issues sorted out but.... they are on here yet again just making excuses and putting out outrageous "specs". This was my first and last firearm purchase from them. I would rather deal with retailers who do not make excuses for poor products.

 

[cd2m]

My first dealing with TI actually. My god this guy is bitter

Don't forget the guy's that preordered a year,, to only watch new comers get rifles first lol

No one's bitter, and read the room. Every other post is about a outta spec 81, or the fit and finish not even being to chicom specs lol.

Your the one jumping on the grenade for TI bud lmfaooo

Lol do you have reading comprehensive issues.

I waited on a pre-order yes in 2016, what does that have to with new comers or these rifles .

I merely said it sucked even worse after having to wait that long to get a bent rifle.

Plenty of ppl on this thread upset with the QV of their rifles but okay lmfaooooooo

My God you all are shills lol

 

[bigbigjack]

A quick check would be looking at the hole on the very back of the receiver (clean rod hole?) through your muzzle. If your rifle is bend you won't be seeing a complete hole.

You mean look from the front or from receiver?
How do you look through from receiver?

I was agreeing with you wtf. pull your head outta the sand.

The first fiasco of people waiting forever to only watch people make new orders and get rifles first with no wait...
