I often find those working under the premise that anything is guarenteed either for or against, are guarenteed to be mistaken.

It is actually a marriage of several designs. The SKS, the AK and the Type 63. The important part is that the action is not what was derived from the AK, that part was the modification of the SKS gas and action. This fact will be key in its classification.
The mags are unique to the Type 81 in that they have a bolt hold open modification. AK mags will work in the rifle, but the bolt hold open with not function if using AK mags.
I don't get it? Is AK action that much better? Does it pump out the crappy 7.62x39 that much better than an SKS or a vz58? The AK seems to fart and pop like an old ford engine out of tune. I don't want an AK just because how horny these guys get over them.
When/where did he say this...?
I would buy one, but I doubt they will be any better than a VZ.
Old man Kali never did, daniel_250r has been drinking chinese kool-aid for a long time now, I gave up on him a long time ago.

actually it does use a rotating 2 lug bolt just like an ak, but the gas piston is not attached to the carrier. the gas piston only has a cover like a vz. the main advantage over an ak is accuracy, the reciever is elongated preventing the bolt carrier from smacking the back of the receiver. They will most likely come with chrome lined barrels which is a major advantage over the cz858.
Does that mean they will be as accurate as a WASR 10 ?

The barrel will be corrosion resistant like a wasr and the increased accuracy comes from the reciever design

The standard barrel would be restricted. A new, nonrestricted length barrel may not be chrome lined much like the cz858 but who knows.
Now, the LMG version, that has a non-restricted length as is. And would look awesome on a firing line next to a Valmet M78 and/or a DSA RPD.
One can dream.

The type 97 is nr barrel length and is CR, also the m14 is CR the odds are in our favour atleast.

Type 81 uses Short stroke gas piston,rotating bolt which enables better control of the weapon due to less mass needing to be stopped at either end of the bolt carrier travel.
How does that make it more accurate than a VZ ?

Its more accurate than an ak, i doubt it will beat the vz in terms of accuracy, but its not a dmr anyways
