Type-81 pictures, range reports, and modifications thread

I shot a Type 81 today to do a live fire sight in and recorded the groups for people who are curious. There isn't much data out there in terms of good accuracy tests other than Murray 3D's video.

This first target is 25meters.

Then this is 50 meters.

This is a real nice group at 50 with the Type 81

This is 100 meters. Now this is the first group at 100. It blew my mind. Unfortunately wasn't able to repeat ever again.

Over adjusted the windage but this is the second group.

Then when I had the windage correct I did a 15 shot group at 100 which resulted in a 6" group.

For the final test I did a 200 meter group. The bulk of the group is with in 10"

For me its a 5MOA rifle. I'm curious to figure out how the rifle managed to pull off such a small group at 100. Additionally it managed to do a pretty stellar group at 50 as well. I'm pretty confident that if I had 300 meters, I could hit that paper relatively easy which is 17" x 24". As a final note, I'm not so sure what people find horrible about the sights on the Type 81. They work perfectly fine.
 
About 4 to 5 inches are my best groups so far, but I don't really shoot paper with it, pretty much just steel. And I can hit a 8x10 inch plate, 4 out of 5 shots, with boring regularity at a 100m.
 
Has anyone taken a look at adapting one of the aim sports AK fore ends they have then in keymod and Mloc,long or short? Might be the best way to get a decent non cheese grater hand guard.
 
After a quick search I don't see anyone in Canada selling Aim stuff maybe someone might have some dealer info. But it looks like you can buy direct from them just google aim sports AK Mloc fore end.
 
Does anyone think a billet side folder something like this would be cool for the 81.. would mount by drilling out the rivets on the existing them being remounted to the existing folding mec. would like some feedback, thinking about desining and machining something.

that would be very cool cos i always felt the original folder made from stamp sheet metal looks weak and did not match the heavy weight of the rest of the rifle.
 
Getting close to finishing my latest modification to Que Son!

I plan to sand the stock gas tube cover to bare wood, and stain both to match. Will either go Russian red, or brown similar to original finish. Not sure yet.

A project vid will eventually follow lol
