Quick updates:

Floro MK9 turned out to be very expensive. We'd have to retail at 1600 a piece if we wanted to make any kind of profit; our own cost is above the original estimates for retail price! I don't think we'll be pursuing this one unless the price drops significantly.

Type 81 price is confirmed to be as estimated; we are just waiting now to see if the factory is ok with semi-auto only and the modifications to the bbl to 470mm

PLEASE make sure they are chrome lined. That is the CZ 858s biggest flaw.
 
Kalashnikov mags are not compatible with the 81

Type 81 CAN use AK mags.

And now, some "rifle ####":

As you can see, it has its roots from SKS and apparently cost of production is about the same or slightly higher. It is reported that China sells them at prices below $200 for a new gun.
 
Sorry I didn't read the cost of an SKS part. If that is the case then yes I suppose it would replace the CZ 858 easily
 
Yes I will buy a type 81 for a grand. I own an sks and a VZ58 but I want an AK looking rifle! I don't know about anyone else out there but I would pay money if someone could make an AK lookalike buttstock for the VZ/CZ58... Everyone is making AR type buttstocks for it but I'm not a fan. It something about the shape and the lines on an AK stock I just love.
