Question for you - is the plate AR500? Steel core ammo? Any issues in beating up the gong unduly?
From my experience, NOPE and Ive even gone as close as 20y etc....
I have about 2 dozen plates of various types that get lots of use. I only use 1/2" AR500 plates for rifles now. The 3/8" will eventually chip and crack but the 1/2" will take a serious beating and only really gets damaged on the edges, steel core or whatever ammo. I even shot one some AP 30-06 and it seemed ok.
Sometimes a 300 magnum or some other faster cartridge will also penetrate a well used and beat up 3/8" whereas the 1/2" will usually shrug it off. I have one 1/2" plate that has had over 600 hits with a 50 BMG at 300m and it's not damaged.
Now keep in mind my plates get many thousands of hits, so 3/8" plates will last a very long time for most users. Even using steel core 7.62x39
I've read here on CGN about some clubs not allowing steel core to be shot at their gongs becuase they are worried about damage, but it's complete nonsense -assuming they are using AR500
also, not sure if all type81 are bent to the right, but, looks like mine is tilted, rather than bent:
I hope you can see the line that represents that. NOt a big deal-I can leave with that, as longs as the barrel+receiver align, which they do in my case.
also, please appreciate that crappy, absolutely horrible paint throughout whole rifle

So is the 20% restocking fee realy a thing. F#*k I will probably be in the same boat as you not as bad as some I have seen but definitely a visible curve to the right in the bloody receiver also 4 out of 5 mags do not lock in good at all they rattle and move around every witch way.

Interesting there is old pitting under the bluing. I would suggest that butt[plate is a surplus part.

Because they tend to get locked after the usual Trolls invade like they are right now in the "Do you have your type81" thread!
The usual trolls don't even own one of these rifles which makes it more bizarre.
But some people have this inner need to trash others and it can be an inherited through familial genetics. BPD can be tough to live with and I've seen it clinically quite often.

Oh no! Someone has an opinion different from me, I'm sooooo butthurt I will call them names and try and use big words to show my superior intelligence...lol
If you are so offended by different opinions to your own, your parents were not fit to raise children.
Hey man, it's ok.
I actually had just a hint of rust on my butt plate. Didn't even notice till several days after I got it. Took it off and hit it with some steel wool and re blued it
Just got my folder. As far as I can tell from a quick glance and disassembly, it's free of any of the unfortunate failures in Chinese quality control that others have suffered. 2 out of 6 magazines, plus apology/explanation letter.
