@@gnutzguy have you had a chance to measure deviation on the LMG? Curious if they are slightly bent also or not... am really debating even bothering getting a rifle model with all that I am reading and seeing about them at this point...

[@gnutzguy]

i would measure only if it were severe and both of mine are fine. i looked at it again visually and they are acceptable to me, maybe a slight deviation. my previous rifle was so severe that it became bothersome. the thing is not all rifles are severe so before you buy ask the seller, he cant lie about it being severe cos its too obvious to the eyeball or wait till for the new rifles coming in late next year. i bet they would be fine like the LMG.

My Type 81 LMG is blued and came with two 30/5 mags and a free drum mag that only holds 5 rounds , but it looks cool . I was impressed with the grouping I got compared to my SKS which in itself is a good one but this T81 LMG is head and shoulders above it . Even shooing off hand is better . I believe its due to the heavy barrel . I enjoyed watching your vid . Thumbs up : )

[@gnutzguy]

That's a good deal. The phosphate never went on sale.

[@alcodie1558]

@@gnutzguy I wonder if its because the phosphate process cost a whole lot more then blueing ?

[@gnutzguy]

actually, bluing cost more and bcos its shinier it will show all the flaws therefore there are more rejections.

[@alcodie1558]

@@gnutzguy So that's why gun companies went to phosphate $$ I always thought they did it because phosphate was a better finish , more durable in the elements . More durable and cheaper to produce .

[@gnutzguy]

its true, phosphate is more durable, cheaper to make and hides more production flaws but blued looks much nice and shinier. its what we are accustomed to, SKS hasta be blued and FN C1 hasta be phosphate. T81 is relatively new so it can be both.

Gnutzguy they can build a milled aluminum wk180c for $1100 so why cant they make a stamped gun for around the same as china? Dont get me started on trudeau

[@gnutzguy]

Lol. Apples to apples. milled aluminum = CNC . Any country can build with CNC of small orders, labor cost is minimal, warehouse space minimal but Stamp steel = huge tooling cost, needs lots of machinery, needs lots of labor, needs lots of warehouse space. Cheaper and faster to produce large orders, cant do small orders.

Btw, CNC can produce a different receiver at a touch of a button, not so with stamp, changing molds and cutters will take days.

in the case of the rpk, its easier to sell cos buyers dont need an appropriate class lic which is a very tiny market... matter of fact you dont even need a lic. i might have to do the same with my m4, vz58 and evo3 cos its better than handing them over for destruction.

[@AustinsMain]

@@gnutzguy I know that. My question is more, why deactivate your firearms? Especially if you don't plan to sell them. Or did you buy them already deactivated?

lol... a rather round about way of asking a simply question and the answer is it was deact already. you dont understand, in the case of my m4, i dont have a choice either deact them or hand them over, choice one legally. there are no such thing as "dont plan to sell" bcos upon my death, it cant be inherited so i might as well sell it or deact it.
