The internals update as detailed in the vid (not supplied by TI) works perfectly!!!
SOLD OUT: TYPE 81 LMG Shipment 3.
- Thread starter Tactical Imports
- Start date
This!
Cleaning the gun for the first time this evening, read about some having troubles with their pistol grip screw being seized, i thought id check mine while i was at it and mine too does appear to be somewhat siezed. It can actually thread in, but not back out. Its almost like if the factory peened or swelled out the end of the thread so it couldnt be removed for some reason :/ my LMG did come with a nice tight and perfectly aligned grip tho.

What’s the difference between phosphate and blue versions please ?
Better water resisting / rusting ?

Blued is MilSpec. Phosphate is supposedly more durable and water resistant but from what people on the forum are saying the finish scratches a little easier for the phosphate and some people have reported flaking phosphate too but not many of those. In the end China will blue better than they phosphate which is why I went blued. I figured if I ever intended on making this a Bush gun that I lug around the forrest I may cerakoat it for water resistance but at 10 LBS this isn't really a Bush gun, its little cousin the Type 81 folder or fixed would be much better at that.

The gun was good and straight. Only complaints are that when I pulled it out of the box there was a huge glob of wood finish on the handguard. I just wiped it off with a cloth it came off but now there's no finish on the wood in that spot. Other thing would be the fitment of the handguard, there's a pretty substantial gap between the wood and the retainer but the handguard itself is still tight.

People really have a tendency to treat guns like jewelry not tools . I can understand with collector guns , this may be one depending how many come in and if it becomes prohib or not .. But i think they look cool with some wear .

Hahahah. Yeah exactly. !!!
Wood stocked hunting rifles though ..... baby those
Weapons of war ! Hit them !
Some people have the ability to heavily use their firearms for years with little to no damage, others utterly destroy everything they touch in a very short period of time with very little use. Most people are between these two spectrums.
I usually stay away from buying from private individuals unless it is BNIB items unless I personally know the seller and can vouch for how they take car of things.
My phosphate rifle shows the same, it's actually pretty bad considering my blued rifle has almost none. I regret choosing the Phosphate.
Well the Mississauga Canada Post sorting facility is completely f#cked by Covid. If you live anywhere remotely east of Manitoba, expect to have significant delays in receiving your ordered items, such as the Type 81 LMG. This is not due to Tactical Imports and is not their fault, but was articulated straight from Canada Post.

Yea I'm expecting the same runaround tomorrow. My rifle is suppose to arrive but I doubt it will. I find when that happens the best rout is to call canada post the second its later than it should be and ask them where it is. When they say oh its delayed or we dont know or whatever garbage they try just say oh, OK well since that's a light machine gun and you don't seem to know where it is ill have to call the police and report to them you've lost my machine gun..... that kind 9f sparky attitude usually lights a fire under their arse and you get your stuff faster. Nob9dy wants to deal with that kind of paper work...
