Do you have your Type 81?

[BillD]

Mine arrived awhile back, but just got home today from a work project on the mainland, so unboxed for a first looksee. Came with the 4 mags I wanted, all appear new and function fine with BHO working on all. The rifle itself is nice and solid, functioned fine with snap caps, and all seems as it should be. The folder locks up nice and tight, no wiggle, and no major dents or dings anywhere I can see. Bluing seems a bit thin, and the wood finish is pretty basic, but not unexpected for what this is. Needs a good cleaning then hope to get it out to the range to put it through it's paces in the next few days. And yes it seems to be straight lol. So overall first impressions are very good and certainly happy with the purchase!

Looking good

Finally got the missing part of my order...my folder...

Anyway, glad this chaos is finally over.

The folder is great; ugly as sin, just a minor bend, fit and finish is good, removed the hideous stock plates (worse looking in hand).

Why didn't you get the folder with the fixed?

Because TI wills it.

They made....a mistake....I guess..

Yup just waiting to hear back about 1 issue.

All of them were straight, no bent rifles so to speak off. A few cosmetic issues (ie.... marks and scratches in the metal, crude finishing on 1 rifle, bluing is hit or miss from rifle to rifle.
One rifle came with real dark military upper handguard. Bare wood is darker then the orangeish stuff from all the other rifle sets.)

Trigger on all of them are amazing, like honestly best battle rifle triggers I have ever felt in this type of rifle. Even better then my old x39 Valmets.

All actions are smooth, all mags on all rifles BHO works like they should.

The folders lock up tight, no rattle or play in them (downfall is the second lighter cheek rest sets aren't even drilled all the way thru and no rivet/plates to install them. We already know that tho)
Slight cant in the stocks (not fully straight but not too noticable)

3 of the rifles grenade launcher sleeves are machined rough then just blued over them but who really cares about that.

1 of the rifles dustcover had a dent in it. Hasn't affected the movement of the action so doesn't seem like that big of a deal (cosmetically tho it's annoying)

Ummmmm, haven't had a chance to shoot any of them yet so can't say how reliable they are (soon. Within the next week or so)

Still annoyed about the mag fiasco, should not have EVER played out like that. I didn't even get any of the pre order bonus mags.

Ohwell, I REALLY dig these toys. I find they shoulder and point quicker then my VZ's and just feel better to me. Time will tell.once I go out and run them thru there paces. And my tests won't be 60 or 200 rnds. They will consist of hundreds if not thousands for their first outings.

But for you Game Of Thrones fans:

Which rifle has a bare wood dark handguard? Can't tell in your pics.

Yup that is the one in the very front

Hoping mine comes in before Xmas, Maybe my mom got to TI and told them I'll shoot my eye out

 

[crashcollins]

Looks like the folder on the right has a dark lower front handguard, or is it just trick lighting?

 

[klaus enuff]

bfiles, can you post a pic of the dent?

I can yes:

Just trick lighting.

TI said they would do a swap for the dark upper handguard atleast so I'm happy about that

 

[klaus enuff]

I would be a little put off by that dent but being handy I wouldn't let it bother me too long before I pressed it back down. Just looks, it doesn't affect function if you decided to live with it.
