Svt 40 or type 81 or vz58?

Both of my Type 81's were fine. Folder and fixed.
Anyway, I own 4 SVT 40's. Wonderful pieces of history.
The T-81 pricing is not going to come down - I think this is wishful thinking from those that missed the boat on the first sailing. If I was to bet on anything, it would be the opposite and pricing will come to more closely align with the VZ-58 models; so up a few hundred more.
The only way we will see lower costs is if importation is flung open, several competing importers, and if the Chinese are sitting on stockpiles of semi-auto only guns. Not all that likely.
M-305s were $399 less than ten years ago, and now they are commanding $700-800.
I agree.....I didn't even expect TI to release a second shipment....cz858s were as low at 499.99 when they first came out now they are a minimum 1000$ well used a
I think I would be interested in a shorty Chinese rifle in 7.62 or .223 like a QBZ-03 variant.....I know it would be restricted, and that goes against the intent of the Type 81 coming in as non restricted, but my Little Czech friend below is soooo much fun, and a Sino companion would be cool!

Looks very sharp
What kind of accuracy do you get with?

I have three SVT 40's and I love them. I also have a type 81 and it's fun and has been flawless with just over 500 rounds.

It's fun on a 20 meter indoor range where you can keep them in the black ring, or about 50 meters max on a figure 11 is cool.
It's just $h!t'3 and giggles really with that very short sight plane farther away than that, although the right sling setup with an optic would be a game changer.
.... it's such a small package delivering this round that a center of mass group would have a much more significant impact that the same or tighter from a 9mm sub.
And loud...it's also a real crowd pleaser at dusk!!

Did you do a complete field strip and clean out all the cosmoline? Was the mag locked in properly, have you checked the gas system? What setting is it at currently, if it fires but fails to properly eject or load the next round you likely have to go up in gas settings till you find the setting needed for that particular ammo you are using.
If you were using the Chinese surplus that comes in the white 20 round boxes that's unsurprising. Mine hates that stuff. It cycles everything else just fine.
