BD-08 - Licensed Type 81 Produced by Bangladesh Ordnance Factory

Bangladesh has an export ban on all firearms & ammunition.

It also has a ban on foreign investment in their arms industry

The BD-08 would require an FRT and despite being a clone would need to go through the Firearms Lab as it is made in a different nation/factory to the Type 81

Bangladesh has ramped down production of the BD-08 and is unlikely to re-design a semi-auto variant which would then need to go for FRT.

It's a nice idea but we're talking a BIG investment, and a multi year wait during a time of liberal happy ban time.

Ordering larger quantities of Type 81 rifles/LMGs than immediately needed when piggybacking on Chinese orders is the best way to maintain supply for time to come. Though it is obviously not fun for immediate cash flow.

One more question; if a Canadian company were to buy the Type 81 tooling, would they need they need a different KFF if they wanted to export Canadian made Type 81 firearms to the U.S.? Assuming pistol grip long arms are not banned in the States, there may be a market there, since direct sales from China were banned, and the firearm is rare down there.

I think they'd still need to meet all U.S. import requirements, even if the rifles were made in Canada. Since the ban is on Chinese-made firearms, a Canadian-made Type 81 might be treated differently. If it could be imported legally, I can definitely see there being a market for it in the U.S.
