Type 81 (old thread)

[Tyockell18]

Any new news on this yet? Approved, prohibited, the firearms lab just twiddling their thumbs and dragging their feet for several years for no good reason what so ever? Which is it?

Not sure why it needs a new thread but yes...

No news. Still at the lab.

Working hard to find a reason why it should be prohib i suppose

I'm already imagining what I'll do to her when I can get my hands on one.

It looks too much like scary AK, if everything else fails they would probably prohib it just on looks alone.

 

[crasheralex]

Blaze 22 mean anything to anyone? They're not going to let a little thing like logic stop them from banning all the scary guns

 

[tdod101]

They really do need to be held accountable to there actions.

According to Mossberg at shot show. The RCMP didn't even accept a complementary unit for inspection. They just saw it at shot show and decided on the spot "nope! PROHIBITED!!"

To me that's unacceptable. Do your ####ing job!!!

Does it take AK mags?

Does it take AK mags?

Yes. But most won't activate the bolt hold open which the proper type 81 mags will.

i'm gonna guess : prohib because scary

But if it gets in as non-res, buying for sure !!

Hey why not right, it's a sweet looking rifle.

 

[bfiles]

Is this thing ever gonna get here or what!?!?!?!?!?!?

^ I wish. Its basically a beefed up SKS, mixed with a few other designs. Its cool, Id like one.

Wasn't this submitted in 2012? I would suppose so, because that's when a site sponsor started accepting per-orders.

So this thing has been just about 4 years. How long do these things normally take to classify? Can I ask why the classification takes so long?

Its frustrating, because I think the RCMP knows that we aren't the bad guys, and they know this rifle will only ever be used by the gun community to target shoot, hunt or collect. I hope if they are reading this, they can give us this rifle.

You never know, didn't they just reverse that shotgun from restricted to non-restricted? And it was their voluntary decision? That's a good sign in my books.

Lets hope

You can ask. No one will give you an answer. But I'm sure some people know the answer.

Would be a nice way to tie us over since 858s are drying up.

It would be wouldn't it.

Type 81 mags with bolt hold open feature at the rear. AK mags will work, they just won't lock the bolt open.
