How do you know about how much better the quality is if you haven't held a Type 81 or fired it ? Just curious.
Yes the Vz52/57 is the nicest of the X39 guns but I will pass judment once I have my Type 81 and shot 2-300 rounds.
And 1000$ is overpriced for a 52/57

When did you examine a Type 81? To determine it's level of fit and finish?
Those that have this last weekend are nothing but excited. Says a lot.
You can have your opinion and I can have mine
" A pictures worth a thousand words " ... so those pictures are screaming to me, TERRIBLE FINISH! over and over again a thousand times lol
hopefully Norinco makes a blued batch, I and many others would pay extra. Hint hint, Tactical Imports

Those ####ty pics compared to me being able to actually hold it
Sure whatever will help you in your decision on getting one or not
Love all these naysayers, means more spare mags for me ;-)

If ak mags will fit I can make room for one beside my vz58's. Good article
Alex C from TFB did a nice video on a rare 5.56 type 81 http ://youtu.be/8c09qZWYQd4 great video, makes me definitely lean towards the folder for sure. Great rifle though, hope I get enough tips from bartending tonight to put down a preorder Monday!

I'm going to listen to this guy...
I've been around here long enough to know some of the goodies found in your safe...if you say it's a solid build, then you've got my attention.
As for the finish, it's functional, common theme in military rifles. To be honest I'm a little disappointed in the surface finish on some of the components...common theme in military rifles, I can live with it. What counts is how it shoots, and most of the moving bits are well tested.
As for the inflated price, I don't think it's over the top, steep, perhaps, but not excessive...look and see what you can get in a similar price range that NR, it's pretty sparse, and most of it really is crap, not a slim chance that it might be.

Hey! Those are my pics you're talking about!
ok, I admit, they at pretty ####ty, but I was on a hurry.
I've never seen one but I've seen lots of AKs, and this looks par for the course for most of them, the perceived fit and finish is typically "wartime" level at best.

If AK mags work. I will take 1 please
Think the 52/57 is much heavier than the Rasheed. Thing weighs a ton.

You mean the Trudeau government that just gave up its ability under C42 to over rule the labs rulings?
That power was great with a pro gun cpc government, but with an anti gun liberal government they could have done terrible things with that ability.
