Yea that would be a huge annoyance considering how long ago I prepaid for my type 81 lol. But unfortunately we're just along for the ride now
No, the question is if the M10X will take $29 T81 mags... lol. And will the BHO function work?
My prediction:
Some T81 folders will be back up on TI's site by Monday afternoon. Some people who would have actually preferred a NR black rifle and bought the T81 planning to find a way to scope it and make it tacticool will ask for refunds and switch horses.
Personally, I'm still liking the T81 more. It's basically a VERY similar rifle from a target audience perspective, but I want wood stocks, a narrow folding stock and factory irons because I will use this rifle in the cold with thin gloves. That's not something I will do using a rifle with an aluminum gripping area. And inside 100m, I don't need optics - which means I can abuse the gun more and not worry about bumping an optical sight off of zero.
I may have misunderstood, but nevertheless, it's a real possibility the M10X will ship to users before the T81 - sadly.
I think they are different rifles aimed at different people, but lots of ppl bought the T81 who actually aren't after an iron-sighted, wood stocked rifles. These are the ppl who have already been discussing how best to mount an optic, that likely ordered the cheese grated forestock, etc.
The T81 will be best suited as a knock-about iron-sighted adverse conditions rifle. The M10X will be fore the ppl who want an aimpoint, VFG, single-point sling, etc. It might also be competitive in 3-gun. But no way will the M10X hold up to abuse like a T81 will - it wasn't built with he peasant conscript in mind.
Yes that's a very good question about the mags; considering M+M claim it can take ANY ak mags and the type 81 mag is similar in dimensions.. Perhaps it'll be close enough to rock and lock?? We can only hope. Either way I'm still excited for my type 81 fixed stock to be here I've been waiting years and I love the wood and blued steel classic appeal.
I’d take a Communist Cold War piece of history (even tho it’s a “reproduction”) over a Tacticool aluminum BR any day. That being said it’s a nice alternative to $$$$ restricted AR platforms. I might grab one next year once they’ve landed. I would of jumped on it right away if it was 556
Lol we will have t81s with in 3 weeks, m10x rifles won’t be around till end of December or the new year.. that’s fact

Even if not three weeks, you will have them before the m10 that is what I was referring to as fact
- Location
- Not really sure.
Agreed. There are a bazillion black poly/rail encrusted rifles for sale. Try finding a different cold war era rifle, damn near impossible. All the good ones were banned by the retards in charge of yester years.
It’s not a quad rail,that’s the upper receiver,it’s a monolithic upper.
Regardless,two completely different rifles....that’s why I’m getting both.
What is scaring you exactly lol ? Ppl are just frustrated and passing time till we get seeet sweet commie rifles
Yeah got some surplus Russian left and a whole case of Bulgarian surplus ready to go. Might have some Czech surplus around the garage as well.
