there is no need for drilling and tap. you need to switch the safety and 2 pins then you can add your rail on the left side.
but there is a but you can get it only with the kobra red dot.

I don't understand, how can a mount that I have work, but the optic that's going on it effect that mounting ability? I would like to put an aimpoint on mine.

Right hand safety on non-optics ready folder is a deal breaker for me.
you will need the rail mount then a weaver plate and then the aimpoint will sit in.

oh yeah i have everything ready to go on that front lol. switching the safety is no biggie for a good smith either. sounds like i'm good. Might need to order some of those pins though.
EDIT: if the pins are the same then I may already have some that would work.
I vaguely remember something about the left side safety having an issue with the folder on the SE, which is why they switched it on the non-optic ready folder. Can someone refresh my memory? Was there a reason someone can't get the non-Optic folder and purchase a surplus left safety from someone else who replaced there's with the right side from a TI optic kit? Regardless, an option would be to get the fixed stock, and then mod a Zhukov variable length of pull folding stock to fit, or install a VZ folder using a FoxStrap printed adapter.
you can put a wtb to get the regular safety by someone that will sell not a big deal for sure.
for the fox trap good luck they ve been missing for a while.
luckily i did not wait for ti email i received one at 702am and i stayed in front of the pc up to the right time.
what is the price on your opinion that the t81 should be posted here on ee...
I cdouln't make up my mind between the folder/fixed/ optics ready versions, I'm still on the fence lol

From what it sounds like the only difference between the OR and non-OR version are the pins the mounts screw into. I'm would go OR and just make things easier for yourself.
I went with the fixed stock se just because the safety is on the left side. I had a folder from the first batch of special editions and the right side safety wouldn't allow the stock to fold all the way and it would make contact with the folding stock side panels.and also felt a little odd using my index finger to manage the safety
Or you will be left with the LMG as your final option; they're still available. You're paying a premium over the rifle, but it would be better then paying a scalper, and you could get it pretty rifle-like by removing the bipod and carrying handle. Has anyone tried slippng a spare fixed wood stock from a rifle in the LMG to see if it fits? You can also put the Zhukov variable length of pull folder on the LMG. And you can get muzzle devices for it. It looks like the $50 accessory bundle discount also applies to the LMG, so you could get it out of the box with a pinned drum mag if that floats your canoe.
