The Type 81 - Or another reason to hate Canadians

[fenceline]

Nice.  How's the fit and finish?

Don't go by mine. That's totally a bubba'd sks-d.

Still waiting on mine.

ROFL, laugh I didn't even notice.  Just saw the evil pistol grip and receiver cover and assumed you took a photo of the new arrival.   

That's about the closest you guys can get to an AK right?

[fenceline]

Valmet Hunter and Valmet M78 are ok. Everything else AK is prohib. Unless you are old and grandfathered no joy.

That and the Type 81 which is it's own thing.

I like the looks of this Type 81 you guys are finally getting in hand. I hope they function perfectly, Quality Control is strong on them, and that you guys have a blast shooting them, without problems! Now, I just have to start planning a little R&R in Canada some day soon to beg one of you guys to let me test drive one of those beauties!  I'll bring my own earplugs.

Still waiting on mine; fixed stocks being sent out first and since I'm waiting on a folder it'll be a week or so yet...patience is a virtue they say! 

[Luke2236]

Well finally...FINALLY..got my shipping notice with tracking number today. But as luck would have it, I'm now away from home on a work project but at least it'll be waiting for me when I get back mid December.   

[fenceline]

Got tracking notification last night at like 11pm. They were up late working to get them out. I'm close to the depot so should arrive this afternoon.

They're not going to make a little holiday like Thanksgiving get in the way of your delivery, are they?   

Are the folding stock models still equipped with actual folding stocks? Or are they welded open?  We have our share of regulations and "laws" down here that don't make sense, especially when applied to real world facts and statistics. Curious, your Type 81's have the bayonet lug, but the importer isn't importing the bayonet that fits them. Is it legal to own the bayonet and install it on the rifle in Canada? NOTE: This is not to imply, instigate, or encourage any Canadians to start a rash of drive-by bayonetings, JUST LIKE WE HAVE HERE IN THE STATES. It's just everywhere here. Four of five a day on my street alone on this Thanksgiving Day!            Some of the World's most useless regulations. Yup, we actually waste money making that stuff up down here.  Yup, we actually pay big salaries and benefits to the idiots that write those rules and regulations. And then we re-elect them!  Heck, we even allow them to vote on their own pay raises! Not much wrong with that, eh?  Of course, that's so minuscule when compared to the rest of the cesspool in D.C.     

All we want for Christmas is a great big F-L-U-S-H!!

Thanksgiving in Canada is in October. You thanksgiving doesn't affect us.

Bayonets are legal. Because of the longer barrel modification is needed for original bayonets to fit.

Folders fold.

Canada post is looking to miss delivery by 3 days now. Probably won't see it until Monday at the earliest.

[Luke2236]

Another new owner's folder pic - mine should arrive mid week if Canada Post is to be believed, but I'm away from home on a work project still.  Folder cheek piece colour is a mis-match, correct pieces are supposed to arrive with the distributors next order and will be made available free of charge to current owners.

Despite these looking like a Chinese Yugoslavian Hotel California love child....I covet.  After a recent delay of only three days...I don't know how you maintain the force....Luke.

Now there's a description I can get behind LOL!    As for maintaining, at this point I'm just living my life vicariously through others who already have theirs 

[Luke2236]

Well mine was delivered today, just need to get back home now to check it out.
