News flash:
Americans do not get the "actual AKs". What they get is subpar Romanian parts kit. If you get a Russian AK, Chinese AK or even a Hungarian AK in numbers then we talk, but before then make sure to call them for what they really are: Romanian Parts Kit.

You know that there are several ak that were imported over the years into the US. Russian, chinese etc right?
There are parts kits, new guns made by US manufactures from nothing, and existing old stock complete guns that were as imported years ago on the used market.
The news flash is I don't think you actually know what all is available on the US market. There is a wide variety of ak products.
But this is isn't an AK thread. And we don't have them so it's a mute point either way.

Why don't you go on Gunbroker right now and find me an ass load of Chinese AKs and Russian AKs, Izhmash stamped AK and not a converted Saiga or a US manufactured AK.
Yes several "were" imported but they aren't being imported anymore and as such they are not easily spotted on the market. I know very well what is available in the US, probably better than you and I find it very amusing that you consistently post your assumptions rather than facts.

Did I say ass load? No. I simply refuted your assertion that the only thing the US has AK wise in quantity is Romanian parts kits, which is BS.
I just did a search for "Chinese ak" on GB, and 13 semi auto versions popped up, all legit, complete, matching Chinese AK. That is more Chinese AK than AR180b, Robinson Arms M96, and even Romanian SKS available on GB right now. Actually, there are more Chinese AK on GB right now than Valmet M78. All of which by your assessment should be more common, given that the US only has Romanian parts kit AKs available.
And then there are the Russian VEPRs that are available.
And the Saiga brand guns.
And the Egyptian parts kits.
And the Yugo parts kits.
And the Valmets.
And the Galil parts kits.
And so on, and so on. Hey, you should really go check out the DDI stuff, you know, Destructive Devices Industries line of guns. Fantastic, brand new AKs. "All our firearms are built in house utilizing our own receivers, scope rails and FCG retainer plates. Our barrels are made to our exacting specifications by Green Mountain...." And that is just one US company making brand new from the ground up AKs...
Or the Kalashnikov licenced versions over at Kalashnikov USA.
Even Century Arms is making 100% American made, American parts, AKs. Not kit builds.
But hey, what do I know.

The rifle comes with fixed and side folding stocks. I'm sure the importer(s) will bring options.

Maybe not related to this, but how the hell did the Type 81 get approved? Any links to more info?

Because it doesn't share any parts with an ak. And isn't a variant of anything prohibited. And isnt easily converted to full auto.
Plenty of talk already about its operating system here on cgn. Or Google.

I've never had a problem with my 2 Chinese T97's or my two Chinese SKS-M's
No reason to think I would with a type 81.

Yeah I got off my butt and did some searching. Kalashnikov derivative, not a variant.
Strange, the look would be enough to get it prohibited before, same with restricted on the MKA1919 and the MK10. Things are looking up for once

It is a combination of design features that can be found in many other guns. The ak, the sks, the vz58. But is neither a variant of any of them, or a direct dirivitave. It is its own type.
