Type 81 Owners Corner !

No, you asked a simple phucking question followed by a statement that your's was amateur to the max. Perhaps they should have imported some exotic hardwood for this particular batch of rifles since they knew they were shipping to North America.

Sure, stop buying from China, if you want high quality you don't go to the cheapest place you can get something built, especially when it's a chinese designed and manufactured firearm.
We buy millions of tonnes of useless crap because it's cheap and it's why it doesn't last and we keep buying the same useless crap to replace the old broken crap we bought a year ago.

You really think people in China all hate their lives? Maybe you should take a vacation there. I was there a few years ago and didn't get the feeling from anyone I interacted with that they were miserable slaves to the state. They all had jobs and purpose and were very friendly. I didn't get the feeling they were any more miserable than we are here.

No high horse, just tired of all the complaining in every f'n thread about the T-81, what did you guys think you were buying for $1000? It's a cheap rifle barely better than an SKS, we paid more because it's new to our market and looks AKish. If people had said no to pre-order and just waited for them to get here to order one they would have been $600-$700 which by the way is what I think they'll cost in a couple years if they continue to import them.
I paid $1000 for mine and know that I paid more than it's "worth" but I don't regret the purchase, my rifle functions perfectly and I've started modifying it to make it work better for me. I hated the sights but instead of complaining I just modified them, I didn't like the grip so I bought an AK grip and modified it to work. If oyu don't like the wood then do something about it.

How about instead of complaining all the time, why don't some more people start posting pics and posting range reports like we used to do on CGN?
All I've seen since I gave up posting pics because they just get buried under 5 pages of complaining is pics of guys trying as hard as they can to show a slightly bent rifle.
Just get out there and shoot them, you don't get perfect from a rifle like this.

A big bunch of contradictory Bullschit Is all I see here. Don't want to see people make comments that trigger you? Just don't troll the T81 threads ;)

I just received my folder today, order 6 mags total got 3 and a letter. No problem. But the mags I got looks like machined out ak mags, the edges looks freshly cut and rough, there is metal shaving all over the mag, is this normal?

Edit: here are some pictures, sorry for the quality I took them with my phone

They look pretty much the same as mine. Mine magazines worked without any problem. I guess if you clean them up they might look better.

Well, I would take some nicer pics and talk to TI then just clean them up myself, as long as they function correctly the cosmetics don't matter as much. Hopefully they'll send you replacements and the ones they owe you later and let you keep those.

I just posted pics above showing the mods needed to make an AK pmag work. No bolt hold open but they're only $20 and feed perfectly. If you need help with modifying them PM me and we can have a Dremel party and make a few. I know a couple other guys in the area with T81's who would come along to modify some mags over a few beers.

Thanks for the advice

Man those look rough! Should try to compare with someone who received their order a few weeks ago before the mag issue popped up. Wouldn't surprise me at this point if TI has a bigger mag problem than they are letting on. They only just told us that the quadrails didn't make it in the original shipment for cripes sake! Woulda been nice to know that 3 or 4 weeks ago.

They look bent

joking of course
 
I feel for those who received bend over rifles, but once you have them replaced with straight ones, you will feel better. These are crude guns. They are rough. They are good looking. They go bang every time and most importantly (to me anyway), they are non-restricted. Many paid $1k for that, knowing the finish would not be near that one would expect from Robinson Arms or Sig.

You got a point, not only the guns were "bend over"

The mags have sharp edges. They have metal dusts on them when new, but once you wiped off the dusts, they look better. After you have used them a few times, the sharp edges even get smoother.

Excellent, makes as much sense as sending them only $500.00 for the gun, but with the instruction to plant the money in fertile soil and water it.
Then make them believe that the money will grow to the appropriate amount if well taken care of.

Sounds like a case of sour grapes by somebody that missed out or why would you make a derogatory comment to him. Why would or should you care where he spends his money? Just saying.

Can you answer that without being insulting or condescending.

comprehension is not your forte, isn't it?

"just saying"

I do not care, and it is NOT my business what other people do with their money, but it is mildly entertaining to read all the whining from one side, then the defensive comments from others.
If your expectations are that low, that you accept this kind of "quality" firearm and pay $1000 plus tax and shipping, then I am just very happy for you.
BTW did you know they have huge acreages of land for sale on the East Coast? Just make sure you show up at low tide.

"just saying"
