Bayonets should be included.
Yes, It would be a nice touch to have included bayonet and sling.
Bayonets should be included.
Really? Ok then--the point is moot. Im glad that we aren't "stuck" with the expensive "handmade" one......
Yes, I realize that... but if the receivers are identical (as in: not converted autos that were stripped from a once assembled FA gun, à la CZ-858), then the authorization to bring them in should stand the same. Administrative law states that administrative decisions have to have continuity... as in not change depending on the color of the sky on a given day.
As an example, if an administrative body gives permission for one thing to person or entity A, it cannot refuse permission for the same thing and under the same circumstances (and same legal framework) to person or entity B. In essence, every decision has a continuity and therefore administrative bodies have to be careful as not to create a precedent with a wrong decision. In a very real way, you could say that a decision rendered by a competent administrative authority has the force of law.
The TI Type 81 FRT # is a precedent. Even if the "other" future T81 rifles have a different nomenclature for import purposes, they are still under the same umbrella (provided that there aren't any technical differences between them and the TI precedent). A lot of sponsors get their shipments "gonged as prohibs" because of questionable manufacturing processes at their suppliers' plants, it seems.
That, at least, is how it's "supposed" to work.
You're splitting hairs to justify to yourself why you don't want a gun. It's your philosophy not mine. Why else would one continuously comment about a gun they don't want as if to try to convince others not to like it. If you aren't interested, why keep coming back to a thread on something that doesn't have something you want to keep saying you don't want it and why?
Boggles my mind.
It's an open thread though. Free for open opinion, whether we agree or not. You have your opinions and I have mine. I wouldn't dare want the last word, then the thread would be over and what's the point in that?
If the comment stung then I apologize.
.are these going to take ak grips, stocks and such?
Its a type 81 not an AK , I dont see the point of dressing it up like one.
Looks like it's no where near the quality of the run of the original Type 81's. The ones that came to America before the ban had excellent bluing and fit and finish on the parts.
