At least there will be an abundance of wood on the market for trial and error purposes. I have the tools and aptitude, patience is another matter so give myself three attempts at it before likely needing a new receiver.
Who is buying a Type81?

Absolutely. Depending on spare wood, I may try to make sure dark Russian red set
So all the wood is riveted on? Or are you just talking about the cheek rest on the folder?

Beaver barf is a strong composite material. Hence while it is used as milspec on Czech combat guns.
It might not look good, but perfommance wise it isn't sub par.
Folding stock is riveted to receiver, fixed stock is screwed in as far as I know

That's lookING good, I like that blond wood, similar to the type 56 when I was issued back home.
Placing another order for a folder so both can start breeding once arrive. Lol.
All stocks are riveted on into a tang kind of like an AK. Piece of the stock goes into the reciever then rivets go thru the reciever into that piece of stock securing it into the rear end

- Not really sure.
Realistically are we looking at around 3 months to delivery or what?

Seems about right, based on their anticipated arrival, with processing and ship...assuming all is legit.

Actually.....the trunnions is riveted on,there's a large screw that goes into the stock from the trunnion,with a pretty tight tolerance holding the wood into the trunnion and receiver.....at least on my type 56 and polish fixed stocks.
Drilling the rivets is not so hard,riveting them back in is the tricky part.
If they are the same type of rivets as AK's,they are widely available in the US but require either a modified air riveter or a press,with the proper dies.....or you can beat on them with a hammer like a Neanderthal.
I'm pretty tempted to try and fit one of my underfolder stocks on one and have the barrel shortened right to the gas block and make it a restricted range toy.
Yes into th top of the stock itself where as the stock has an elongated piece which goes into the trunion which is riveted into the reciever but that didn't seem the case for the T81 when I was playing with it. Look as tho the whole stock goes into the trunion which then has rivets going thru it
Really hope not.hoping it's just a press fitted stock with a screw into the tang of the trunnion.
An underfolder might need a custom made trunnion with a flush end piece
EDIT:just looked at a few pictures online,looks like the trunnions are indeed riveted in above the stock.
I wouldn't order just yet if I were you. Might be a scam! Invest your money elsewhere.
Oh for ####s sake give it uppppppp
