T 81 LMG Just pics and no bull

[Karnage]

I find that with the regular T81, the grease oozed out after a good rip. The heat made the grease all runny and I wiped up the excess.
I'm hoping the same will be true with the LMG.

Of course they'll both get a thorough cleaning with proper lube either way.

Oh, and the OP has the best plate. Love it!

Thanks for posting a pic of the standard rifle and the LMG sdizzyday!
It gives us the perspective of the length differences of the sight lines between them.
Didn’t take long to get the muzzle device on either eh?
Cheers Paul

So I put 220 down the pipe today, not a single issue - very impressed.
I had to mess with the front post for elevation and windage, but got in on the 24" gong center within 5 shots - then dialed her in at 100Yds on paper. I was able to hit the 6" plate 10 for 10 sitting on the bipod. Then went out to 200 and 300 (16" plates), used setting 3 on the rear sight - needed to aim 1 plate low on the 200, then hit POA for 300. Fairly consistent hits.

What brake do you have on there?

It looks like a Turkish shotgun brake lol

Putting additional weight on the barrel is not a good idea.

Nice picks, keep them coming!

100% Correct!
I ended up using the Muzzle device from my parts bin that came from a Hatsan Optima 12Ga. I just had to press it onto the T81 thread protector, the fit was about .008" interference fit. Seems very sturdy, I ran 200+ through it and it was great - all about the looks though, no function advantage.

Not the best picture, but modified a 5/40 RPK mag.

Very nice
I have a few AK mags that I would like to try and modify. Is there a vid on how to?

I used this video for reference. It's not too bad doing metal mags if you have the tools, plastic mags would be a lot easier though.

Gorgeous! people who went with the blued models definitely made the right choice IMO! parkerization really only looks good on Garand styled actions haha

My T81 Bayonet did come from EBAY, back in 2017 though.

PURISTS BEWARE Please keep your comments to yourself if you want to crap on me for re-Finishing the LMG.

Now my 2 T81's look like sisters again, not distant cousins!!!
The color of the pieces do look the same in person - camera changes the color depth...

Stripped, Cleaned, Stained, Varathane x4, I love it!!!

Here is the BEFORE Picture.
