MERGED. Type 81 is on its way to Canada. Classed as RESTRICTED

[fenceline]

Can't wait.

Jumping the gun here, scope mount options?

The gun hasn't even been imported yet. Other than 4 guns in the US, and the 1 that hit the lab, no guns are here. Hard for a company to get scope options for a non-existent gun in the market.

Give it a month or so after it gets here. The aftermarket will spool up.

If its good I will pull some magic strings and make the non-res model mine.

Does anyone have a timeline when the first imports will be coming in? I'll take 2 please

Oh god, at last! I've been waiting for these for ten years!!! I hope they are at a good price; M305-tier prices; why would you pay $1000-1500 for a Norinco when you can get a VZ58 for that money.

Expect more that a grand. Think Type 97 pricing.

And VZ58 pricing is over a grand now as well.

Canam is saying around 8 months. Production needs to start, and then shipping.

 

[Jarvy]

[Ktnorthern]

[Tactical Imports]

Just to confirm: We have no details other than a positive classification. When we have more we will make our official announcement. Until then, people please refrain from emailing/calling.

Thanks! I can't wait to see the pricing and more details will soon come out i'm sure. Also how easily to get mags will also be a issue I would think?? Although I've been told to think less before

 

[Phat Eagle]

Cool... It would be a wet dream if the barrel was 18.6", it had a rail, and took STANAG mags so it could use XCR pistol mags...

And oh yeah, a chrome lined barrel!

AK mags should. Just won't hold the bolt open.

 

[Syphen]

Sign me up for the bandwagon!!

 

[pcvando]

It's funny because yesterday I posted in that other T81 thread, "wouldn't it be nice to have this thing approved, I wish the RCMP read these and would give me the gift of approval for tomorrow." Or something along those lines...

Then BAM! Yeeeeesss

Maybe our overloads do watch us... If so, thank you

 

[DT741]

More like they fired 2 guys for approving thoses scary weapons. Now they have to find 2 sheep to replace them.

Make sense !!


Chrome lined barrel ?

 

[staryoskol]

Anyone know how interchangeable these are with AK furniture?
