**TYPE 81 7.62x39 Service Rifle** ~IN STOCK -NOW AVAILABLE!!!

[Fortress]

Does the wood on the folding stock model come off? I can’t tell from pictures if it’s held on there with a rivet or a screw. Anyone elaborate?

Yes it comes off. One rivet is actually a small bolt and other one is like a tab

Took my Type 81 to the gravel pit, only had a few FTF due to mags (the modified RPK mag and a certain mag was having a problem every once in a while.). I put around 250 rounds of surplus and it all seemed to run fine on gas setting 1. I think its my new favourite and its for sure going to be my new bush gun! Also heads up, if you are one of those people who want to keep it scratch free, don't put the sling on. The rivet that holds the sling will scratch the rear part of the receiver

 

[captainamazing]

Mine finally came:
-barrel and receiver are straight as an arrow
-Stock has some dings around the edges
-No rust
-Some rivets or pins were smashed in by a guy that is not really accurate with a hammer .....or brick or whatever he used. so dent around the pins. will need some metal work to fill the dings. I will then Cerakote the whole thing.

They did something similar for me when I had issues on the first preorder.

They definitely make things right in the end as far as I can tell.

Same here. Top notch customer service.

Are they in stock right now?

Folding Rifle is strait / fit and finish is good / sling / owners manual / x2 small bits for cleaning ? / oil bottle / xtra folder wood [ matching ] Cleaning kit pops out of the folding stock.

Who’s doing your cerekote/nickel plating?

 

[savagetman]

I don't know personally how they come apart, however I have already seen pictures of people removing or replacing the wood on them.

you pull out the cleaning kit, and reach in with a screw driver and pivot the locking tab to remove them

Who’s doing your cerekote/nickel plating?

A small custom shop in Medicine hat does the Cerakoting, PM me if you want the number. I used to do it as well but it got too busy as a side job so I had to bow out. The nickle/chrome stuff is Alberta Plating out of Calgary. He travels and picks up parts in Medicine Hat every so often. Turn around is 2 weeks he said.

Does the magpul Ak47 furnature fit on these at all?
I bought this on a whim and haven’t followed all the sub-threads.
The wood furnature looks terrible. There is no grain visible. It looks like chunks of wood glued together and the stain doesnt take so some parts

Why would you buy a rifle while knowing nothing about it?

Not knowing if certain furniture works certainly doesn’t constitute “knowing nothing”.
This is why I dont ask many questions on CGN. Too many guys like this that feel the need to get a jab in to someone asking a simple question.

So take it apart, give it a try, and figure it out
