I heard totally different story, there is nothing wrong for Chinese arsenal, they didn't delay T81 production. If Ti had submitted this order earlier you would have had it on your hand right now.
LoL , Winter is almost over....
I don't know how that relates to the T81 other than TI is handling importation of T81 and accepting preorders. Type 81 is from a different country and factory than Turkish made arms. Although TI is claiming exclusivity and it would benefit them to make such claims as to dissuade others from looking elsewhere, if TI is making these claims based on an agreement with the exporter, it's possible that the exporter is making an agreement they didn't intend to keep. NONE of this relates to the T81.
If you want a better idea what all this means, read the thread yourself and come to your own conclusions. With that being said, my preorder remains in place. The nature of preorders is that they're inherently risky. It should go without saying that you shouldn't bet money you don't have. Otherwise, I look forward to this rifle with the understanding that it may never reach me because of TI, Jianshe, delays, RCMP, Canada Post or whatever obstacle that might come its way. I also understand there's an inherent impatience tax, I'm willing to pay a premium for first dibs.
Are you prepared to loose all money invested at this point?
You should tighten your money up then if it's loose.
These preorders seem to be not going as planned. I don't have a 81 preordered but I might get one when they are in country. And if they are all sold? I really don't care. Life goes on..
yea this is starting to look like the same story as the t97
This thread is going down the drain again.
Let TI do their thing. If someone else brings them in first, just cancel your order and go there.
My single and only concern is the quality when they arrive.
I want a military grade rifle in terms of strength. It needs to be identical build quality to the original military ones. (Minus auto of course.)
I basically want the "Type 56" quality comparison. For example, when the US got the Polytech AK's they were 100% on par with the real Chinese military ones. They are super well built and considered to be the closest to a legit military AK.
I hope this doesn't turn out like the T97's. Different shape/caliber/quality.
The ones we got are cheaply built, and first ones in the country had a barrel problem and some exploded.

I would take some work to get to a level as low as those t97 garbage.
I think if there's no news by January I'm going to cancel my preorder. Who knows what the quality will be like and when they'll come in.
