SOLD OUT: TYPE 81 LMG Shipment 3.

[WAREWOLF]

Very surprised tactical imports still has some in stock. But also everyone seems to have bought them just to sell them right away haha

I have noticed a lot on the EE but I see that for a lot of other rifles as well. I don’t understand why. But I know why they are not selling on the EE since people are asking $500-$600 over what you can still get one for from TI. Prices on the EE for these thing people are a bit out to lunch on it

 

[Axelord]

Can someone explain the pistol grip issue. I can’t budge mine. What is stake in the bolt mean?

Thanks.

If it's skookem-toit and it still wobbles, then it's obviously a problem of fitting. Too little, or bad grip-to-grip-plate contact.

How much longer until we can order parts kits? I’ve been waiting for months

The grip is tight was going to remove it and see if I can fit another grip that I have. I can loosen the bolt like 3 turns then it won’t budge. Almost destroyed the screw at this point.

Our shipment was much larger than 1st shipment to give everyone a chance!

Well seeing as the basic rifle shipped to your door with HST is about 1800 - I do not see any of those selling for 5 to 600 over that - most look a lot better than first batch when that was true, unless you can find away to avoid the tax or get TI to give free mag's and parts kits away.

Nice pictures from TI of the T81 LMG, just wish mine would arrive, ordered 6th Jan #94xx and still showing as order being processed.

Yeah, so there's something stopping the bolt thread and the nut thread from passing. Either fight it to the breaking point and hope it comes loose before it breaks, or just scrap the whole original grip altogether.
I do seem to remember I had trouble initially with getting the handle off my rifle, but I eventually resolved the problem with monkey-strength.

Same here...

 

[GUB]

4-6 weeks for processing..

 

[BeadyEye]

Yeah I know, 4 to 6 weeks processing. But I want my rifle now, waaaahhhhhhhhh

The screw on mine won’t budge at all and the grip is super loose. Contacted Tactical import. They said they will send new grip replacement kit once their part kit arrives. Which i have no idea when..... wish they had some now so they could send it right away. Pretty lame that i bought this gun and can’t even enjoy it properly

have you asked to just return that rifle for another since there is still stock?

 

[Spartan46]

I had this loose grip problem when I had the rifle version... Take a big screwdriver and use some lever to help you turn it and break it loose... Put loctite and screw it back tight, never had it loose again

 

[GTNgo]

No, I haven’t. But i bet it will take me as long as waiting for the replacement grip. Shipping the gun and waiting to received a new one.... i’ll probably be placed back at the end of the line and wait forever lol

Good luck with that. They seem VERY reluctant to provide exchanges rn

I’ll look for a bigger screw driver. All the ones i have slips out of the screw.

They told me 8 weeks as a rough ETA for pistol grip parts....

 

[Curtton]

never mind.

 

[firearms_enthusiast-1987]

they should remove the grip and screw from the inventory (unsold) and ship those, what are we talking about? half a dozen at best from here on.

mine removed without any issue, i think most are that easy.

They are supposedly staked in place which means removing them from unsold rifles will still render them broken and useless for the most part. That would do no good for anyone. You had a weird one. Everyone with a loose one for the most part has a staked and immovable bolt.
