Canadian AK - Type 81 - Unboxing

Classic Only in Canada moment

The Type 81 is a Chinese “designed”, gas-operated 7.62×39mm assault rifle based on Kalashnikov and SKS actions adopted by the People's Liberation Army. The Type 81 has been in service since the mid-1980s.

Developed in China and imported in very limited numbers, the Model 313 (also known as the 81S) is part of the Type 81 family of longarms. While its predecessor the Type 56 started life as a licensed copy of the Soviet AK-47, the Type 81 was an evolved, second-generation descendant, drawing positive features from multiple Soviet weapons to build a family of armaments, including a light machine gun variant similar in appearance and function to the Soviet RPK. Intended for export to the American market, the 81S was a pure semi-automatic rifle, and on paper it no doubt looked like a sure-fire winner, but as a result of an executive order by George H.W. Bush in 1989 restricting the import of semi-automatic rifles, Norinco was left spinning its wheels. Estimates on the number of Model 313 rifles that entered the U.S. and successfully passed through customs before the ban hit range from the single digits to the low double digits.
