Or is the Type 81 equipped with a Type 56 folder?
You’re right, it’s the type-56s which has the same folder as the type 81.
thanks! barrel OD is 14.44 mm, there isnt enough material for 5/8-24. there are a handful of great muzzle brakes in 14x1mm LH but theres also a chance hical or somebody else could thread it for 14x1mm RH, which would allow a vast assortment of VZ 58 brakes. I personally chose LH since I had a few AK brakes lying around.
I feel ya, maybe attempt it urself first ? Only tools i required was WD 40, a larger than average hammer, a punch, a piece of steel flat bar and a bench vise equipped with soft jaws.

I took mine off just for the hell of it.
Drive out the cross pin at the base of the base of the grenade launcher sleeve.
Secure the rifle to a work bench on its side (ie clamp it down, drive bolts or nails into wood top around the rifle to secure it from slipping forward etc however you want to do it) and use a brass punch with a good chunk of gun tape on it to tap the sleeve forward and off from the base.
I sprayed penetrating oil into the muzzle/base of the sleeve the day before and allowed it to work its way in before attempting it.
It comes off very easily in this manner.
It looks way better with it off but that just may be my weird preference. Also shaves off a chunk of weight at the furthest end of a long barrel.
Setup is key to any force applied to a firearm.
not sure, if the lower handguard retaining ring sits at the same length as AKs, it should be easier.
I cut off the retaining ring right off, and I don't think you can easily re-adjust the position of the ring (forwards or backwards).
Even though you can fit the lower portion of the MOE handguard in position, you may have to adjust the height of the top (upper handguard: gas piston cover piece), and the 81 upper handguard is longer than AKs.
Que Son holding her own against many other "formidable" platforms! She scored higher this year then what my CSA VZ58, Benelli MR1 and Colt A2 Sporter did last year! and MOST IMPORTANTLY, scored MUCH higher in Bubba form then she did back when she was stock ( I believe she scored 70ish points in 2018). Guess Bubba didnt do so bad after all haha
