[Jimmy50]

Looking to get a fixed stock Type 81, hopefully they will bring some in. Ready to spend $$$ lol

[Robert777]

[Army2006]

Just give me moar T81 folder/fixer!
Make them 1.3k rifles again!

 

[Feminist]

Rifle-ized LMG (no bipod or carry handle, rifle/folding stock, slightly thinner 18.6in barrel)

Prototypes of this was shown at the Zhuhai airship a few years ago.

Well, people are making Galil clones out of valmets. No reason someone shouldn't be able to make some mods to the type 81.

It is because a Valmet is an AK and a Galil is an AK, a type 81 is not an AK. Valmet, AK, and Galil parts are all interchangeable.

This.

man of culture

Why? (prohibited)

Norinco already makes the NDM-86 in 54r...

We just can't get them anymore.

because those are prohib, a type81 chambered in 54r would be a good alternative...? that thing is basically an AK right?

 

[fritzhanzel]

I just want to go shopping in the US and bring everything in. Then I want TI to bring in a kit of a type 81 where I can change easily to any caliber and any look for under $500.

 

[derek2007]

Now that all LMG are sold, what next can we expect in 2024? Any clues if there will be a new shipment of rifle this year or a new model? Maybe a 7.62x39 type97 gen 1? Hehe

That would be badass. I'd deffnbuy a x39 bullpup

 

[derek2007]

What do you need rpal for…?

Never buy a restricted rifle in this day

 

[$kull]

Because ak guns are prohibited
The valmet isn’t.. because it’s a valmet
Not the design
By name

 

[$kull]

Prototypes of this was shown at the Zhuhai airship a few years ago.

What prototype

That’s a t81 with newer furniture
Just shop at sigmaco and buy that yourself

 

[$kull]

Not really no
It’s as different as a t81 is different
It’s banned by association

 

[RRH.01]

I mean there's not much to add but these couldn't hurt
Stock-factory T81 with Quad rails as used in the chinese police
5.56x45mm T81
Rifle-ized LMG (no bipod or carry handle, rifle/folding stock, slightly thinner 18.6in barrel)

Rifleized LMG actually would be pretty awesome and makes lots of sense, imagine this baby

At that point it’s just a rifle with an lmg front sight, if you just want a longer sight radius remove your launcher shroud and relocate the front sight out front, the barrel od is the same near the muzzle, have to re pin it afterwords.

 

[DerWeißeWolf]

How much were the fixed stock T81s for the last final shipment ever?

 

[Bulriver]

I believe they were $1199 in Aug 2022.

No. You're thinking of the Romanian PSL which are literally just scaled up version of a AKM to take 7.62x54R similar to the Zastava M76 & the newer M91. The NDM-86 is just a the export version of the Chinese Type 79/85 which are nearly 1-to-1 copies of early versions of the SVD except slightly different dimensions. Poland & Iraq also make proper SVD clones.

The SVD is prohibited as they classified it as an AK variant when none of the parts are interchangeable & the SVD has a short stroke piston. The only similarities they have are its dust cover, iron sights & the lever safety selector & the rest of similarities are purely cosmetic. It's a real shame too because China probably has stockpiles of them as they supposedly replaced their Type 79/85 with the CS/LR19 & NSG-85 just like how Russia announced that they're finally replacing them with the SVCh (which is one of the coolest rifles I've seen).
