Who is buying a Type81?

I ordered a folder cus I feel it compliments the rifle better. Plus if I decide later on that I want a fixed stock on it, no problem, just make one out of wood. If u have a fixed and later decide u want a folder..... Good luck haha, some fabrication required.

I would think the folder cost more to make. They chose to switch to folders for uniformity because it was better suited for para and tank crews.

I would agree that folding and unfolding of a folder will cause wear and slack.

This says cost savings...but who knows.

Apparently only 40,000 were made with fixed stocks.

I dunno....made at the same factory in China for one thing? How else are you going to gauge how much these should cost us landed?
Or right....you are part of the "HERE!!! TAKE MY MONEY" crowd.

Like what you are doing would ever change the cost of the rifle.

Who are you to determine what the cost should be to bring in something!?!?!

Don't like it, don't buy it (insert FART noise here)

What about all the millions of people waiting to "TAKE MY MONEY" fornthe new Apple phone etc....

Hmmmmmm

You seem to be one of only handful of people complaing about the price. Everyone else who bough it feels it's worth it. I guess several hundred people cant be that out to lunch

If you don't then there is zero need to keep whining on about it.

It doesn't say the actual folding stock is cheaper to produce, it says the rifle with folder are cheaper to produce.

One have no idea whether it is due to production refinement or the quantity of the folder model produced had an effect on cost overall.

Cost of making only 40,000 over a period of several years will cost more as opposed to making 500,000 over the same period.

Like you said, who knows.

The folders was originally designed for para.

agree with above photo; apple suckz coz of one easy button logic ppl and what's worse.. it is "pop" ppl-kim kardashian style; apple metal hardware is fine. if there were to be a phone, brick solid, with navigation and very limited apps I need or just able to call+ navigation, I'd buy it... I don't need most apps, including stupid facebook etc

the fact that millions like/ believe in something doesn't mean it is a GOOD/ true thing... especially in this time of extreme lack of education, brainwashing, wow style generation (eat-watch TV-poo-eat-etc)

customer can complain about price for as long as customer wants who are you, bfiles, to tell the customer not to complain about the price? real market will show the real price.. ppl r bying blindly a product, which is supposed, presumably, to be good... how will it be? only future will tell.

Funny with the few people who cry about the price!!!!!!

You haggle on the price of your TV or your grocries or computer or phone or clothes etc.......

No different here except people who feel entitled to bash a company cuz of the price they determined (in time and resources) to successfully get a new rifle in our hands.
Whine whine whine while I get to play and have fun with my new toy ;-)
 
If people whine at the price of the SKS81 they need to change hobby lol... Its one of the cheapest good looking NR rifle at the moment...lol...
 
I had my T81 in the cart for a bit before I finally went ahead with the purchase. Wasn't because of price though. Was trying to decide if I should switch to folder lol

You haven't been following this close enough.

The complainer isn't a customer and if he is a customer , he should complain to the retailer , not to us or ram his opinion down our throats, over an over.
