Type 81 Parts Kit Now Available ~Limited Stock~

I got mine today.
I have to admit this kit feels underwhelming for the pricetag. I understand these are gun parts, but at the end of the day its a handful of mini ziploc bags with small metal parts, screws, and springs in them. I'm sure it'll be useful at some point and I guess that comes with a price, but $175 with shipping seems steep now that I have everything in hand.
Youza.

Underwhelming is the right feel for this package. They charged me 20 bucks to ship from Mississauga to Niagara Falls and didnt send me a type 81 manual like I have requested..top notch service. Maybe I will have these firing pins made at my friends machine shop out of spite. 175$ bucks is gouging your customers..shame on TI.

I'm glad to have the spare parts. I've justified the cost for myself... but understand the negative comments. One thing to consider, I needed a firing pin for my 742. One of the most popular guns ever. Do you think I could find a firing pin when I needed it? Absolutely not. I scoured the internet and every Avenue you could imagine including importation. Simply none to be had at the time I needed it. I eventually did find one, but had to buy a used bolt assembly to get it. $80 just for that.. and was happy to pay it. When I got it in the mail it looked half worn out. This was for one of the most common guns ever.

So let me get this straight.
TI announces in the first post that they only have 40 kits and don't know when/if they'll get more. Even then, people still bought more than one. That just doesn't seem very courteous to me.

Ill patiently wait for a TRULY useful parts kit. By that i mean one that includes more trigger components and bolt assembly parts. Other than the firing pin and extractor, this parts kit is pointless.
As for people saying its hopeless for those who dont have parts.... guess again, theres this trade called "machining", and there are these machines now called CNC's lol

That is a total rip off of your customers. That should be be $30 tops. A handful of Chinese springs and screws.
I know right! We all paik 1K for this 300$ SKS wannabe. So its only fair we also overpay for the parts kit !
HAHA
So true....
True, but its also highly, highly impractical. The hassle and cost of having an already broken gun part re-made by a machine shop is not exactly the same as having a parts kit in your droor.
That being said, you are mostly right about the degree of pointlessness of this one.

Thanks for the info. What would you say is the the minimum hourly rate for this highly skilled trade. Assuming one does not have personal access to a CNC , or "a buddy " who can fix them up. Are you sure your not underestimating the value of this skill and equipment? Because I suspect that no qualified tradesman with an investment in a CNC, is going to carve me out an extractor for instance for anything less than 100$, and you know as well as I do, I'll probably wait 2 weeks for it just to find out my piddly project was forgotten about. If you know a guy, please share, and I will contact him. I love spare parts for all my guns. If there is some highly skilled craftsman with a CNC pumping these things out for peanuts, we all need his contact info now... hopefully he is the perfect mix of machinist and gunsmith, because the part must work and be the right material. Thanks.
Oh....and will this guy be making magazine catch springs? Because there's a whole bunch of guys already needing those. Thanks again for the help

Your request must have been lost in the shuffle, shoot us an email, we'll have a manual sent right out!
Oh goodie. That fixes everything. Because you know, the forgotten T81 manual to one customer is really what people were so eager for you to address.
One way this is so obvious is by seeing how everyone's focus is on that one aspect.
Youza.
and the village idiot reveals himself, lol
