The Type 81 as we KNOW is not an Ak, but it was built on the same tactical principle... These rifles are not designed for semi-auto accuracy, they are used by guerrilla forces around the world for close quarter full auto. Although not a sub-machine gun operationally it us used the same. So you take a gun that was not designed to be an accurate target rifle and sell it to Canadians who are target practising and only have the semi-auto feature; you are going to have complaints as you have a market using the gun for it's unintended purpose! If you understand this you along with those who understand this may enjoy owning such a rifle. When it comes to QC, again you are purchasing a rifle that has a completely different idea of what QC is! Do you really think the taliban who never clean nor maintain their AK's or a group of kashin guerilla's with their 81's are sitting around worried about a slight misalignment, machine markings and sharp edges??? This is the kind of demand and expectations these rifles are built for and pass it's intended QC perfectly....
The Type 81 will never be your target rifle, you will be forced by our regulations to use it in its unintended purpose and the chinese don't give a crap that it doesn't pass your idea of qulaity control.... If you can't get your head around that then simply don't own one.... it is what it is!!!!
Wow, you like to make a lot of assumptions. You took the liberty to assume I care about accuracy, I assure you I don’t. You wont find a post of mine that complains about accuracy, I couldnt bcos I havent fire one yet. I returned it immediately and it took months before I could buy one else where.
Lets dissect your rambling post. Firstly, you are wrong about the Chinese not caring about accuracy (not target accuracy), go check the history of the type 81, you will find they tried to improve the accuracy of the type 56 (ak47) with the development of the type 63 and the type 81 essentially came from the type 63.
Secondly, I didn’t know the Taliban never clean their AK. Not one? Ever? Really? (I guess they really want to meet their maker.) Since im no Taliban, I wont know what they are thinking or worried about but im certain they didn’t pay $1000 for theirs. Btw, were you once a Taliban?
Thirdly, the Chinese not giving a crap about QC, maybe the government who is selling it at a deep discount don’t but polytech who has been selling to the north american public for almost 40 years do, they have come along way but still not there and the type 81 proves it (since we been told only a handful was bent). How could they not? it’s a weapon and regulated industry as you said.
look, any developing country has poor QC, like japan did 50 years ago, the old adage was it wont last and it was true, datsun rusted away but look at them now. they are in jd powers quality list.
And finally don’t buy one as you so kindly suggested I should do, thank you. But not owning one doest mean I cant talk about it. The last I checked we were moving to the left, I didn’t know we have moved all the way to north korea. Lol.
