Tactical Imports is a reputable business, there are not a fly by night business that just opened a few months ago. I have no worries about losing my money.

You cancelled, your out, you got your money back...fine...........why bother with worrying about it? move on and buy something else. enuff said.

The leduc CT is renown for carrying a good supply of firearms, like 50bmg rifles, Tavors, and more, would not surprise me if they stocked 5.45x39, I dont imagine it's surplus though

I may have to make a pilgrimage to such a CT. So far, I've yet to id an Ontario CT that carries good selection. Perhaps a well hidden rural one ...

I don't quite understand how the only argument for late delivery can be that our order is just too small. I mean, how many markets are there?

Factory makes firearms in batches. Retooling takes time and money. Small Canadian order is going to be manufactured together with a big Type 81 order. Whatever that order is.

Type 81 in general is twice the cost of Type 56, which is a go to rifle for African and Middle Eastern hotspots. I recall reading somewhere that Type 81 is twice the cost to produce than type 56. No one in the world can compete with Type 56 price wise. Which makes it extremely popular.

To be honest, I cancelled my order (one of the first ones) and got my money back. I think the concern of many is that they don't know how their prepaid money is going to be used and deposited. We all know #### happens. I don't quite understand how the only argument for late delivery can be that our order is just too small. I mean, how many markets are there? Are those type 81 going to the Philippine military now since they have problems getting rifles from the US due to widespread government killings of drug users or what?

The only bigger market is the US, right? They is an import ban on Chinese guns as far as I know?

Why is the Canadian order so small, many would order those rifles if available, the only argument for ordering I have heard so far is that the price will be double if available?

My head is spinning, those arguments don't add up.

I know that they have been problems in the past but those have been mostly due to import problems, right?

You reckon that the Canadian civilian market is the next biggest thing to the US market?... You must have a very small view of the world.

Probably pretty accurate. We are one of the top countries for firearms ownership and if you look a those ahead of us, most of them have far more draconian gun control than we do and people there could not own a Type 81 if they wanted to.

May be our ownership per capita is high but there is too few of us to matter and we are not very rich.

And there is another myth that Canada matters internationally. Sole state of California is a larger market than Canada. As economy goes Canada is #12, California is #8. Also freaking Denmark is thumbing its nose at us.

It may be twice the amount to produce but from the pics I see the type 81 looks like twice the rifle. You live in Vancouver so go to Reliable gun on Fraser. They have a type 56 on their wall right now if you have a 12.5. I really wasn't very impressed with it. My buddy had the right license but he didn't want it either. Partly because it's a wall hanger but it's functional. But it looked cheap and small

this one appears to be the standard-issue optic for type 81, at least the wording on the bottom of the manual looks promising, but it could be an experimental product. anyways, this thing goes for 75-90 bucks in China.

Not quite. We are the 10th largest economy in the world and Denmark is ranked between 34th and 39th depending on which ranking you use. We are actually ranked quite high given our small population.

I meant Denmark being belligerent in Arctic. Main point that we are smaller than California.

It is a copy of AKM. It works.

The much better rifle is AK74M. Very accurate, same ballistics as M193, lower recoil. Accurate in full auto due to low rate of fire. The only downside is poor adaptability for optics, but that is characteristic of all Cold War guns.

If you ever go to Battlefield Vegas you can shoot it there, I think it was Bulgarian rifle.
