SOLD OUT: TYPE 81 LMG Shipment 3.

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.

Agreed. Shipped to Thunder Bay. Was supposed to be here last Thursday... got it a week late.

My blued LMG scratched easily. I Love the phosphate finish and no phosphate flaking whatsoever

Thats good. It appears the only problem I've seen with a blued was the bipod didn't want to lock fully. The phosphate ones have had a few problems.... flaking, pitting that sort of thing. Not terribly common but essentially every complaint I've seen about these puppies has been on the phosphate side. Hopefully not too many in the end but we are talking about norinco and they are either great or terrible for the most part I find they don't have too much middle ground in my experience. Of the 5 Norinco products ive owned I sent 1 1911 back because its machining looked like it was done with a dull rock, the internals were completely full of rust, the barrel wasn't ground smooth or straight, the magazine catch wouldn't release the mag and the slide was so gritty it felt like I had kitty litter between the rails. Every other one has been great though. With these rifles norinc9 seems to have raised the bar as I haven't read 1 review where the gun was a disaster only small or cosmetic problems so that's great. Nothing like that 1st batch of type 81 rifles that were bent like they'd been run over with a truck.

Got mine, pistol grip is loose and the screw in the pistol grip is super tight.... can’t loosen or tighten the screw at all.... anyone else have this issue?

Take a quick vid sent it to them, I’m sure they will send you a new pistol grip as it’s prob just out of spec.
 
Got my phosphate version today. I don't see/have any of the issues reported by others. Maybe I just lucked out, but I am happy with mine.

This one is a keeper, and I mean no matter what happens.

Thank you Tactical Imports.

you're the fourth to report loose grips. do they not inspect the grip? btw, mine is fine.
 
I’ve seen that on quite a few lmg, all of them the gas tube cover, yours is actually not too bad, worst example I’ve seen it’s wasn’t even refinished.
 
Some eye candy to tie you folks patiently awaiting :)
