Type 81, Special or Red Edition? Bent? Review. Optic not Ready. T81 Variant 1

At $1200, that's 20% more than last shipment, I was expecting something really special but instead, it was just cosmetic. The red wood looks nice but IMHO changes in finishing and colour doesn't make it a "Special Edition".

They should save the term Special Edition for the rifles with real changes like in the Zhuhai Airshow in China. Click the link below. You'll see a rifle with aluminum short handguard, AR style stock, GL removed, front sight moved forward for longer sight radius and a fancy grip. At the very least, install a standard side plate on all the models. https://www.alloutdoor.com/2018/11/15...

Fit and finishing on the metal are slightly better than before except for the finishing on the wood. Mine had poor application of stain, marks and drips.

The biggest compliant about this shipment is the rattling top handguards. My two rifles moved about 1mm when the rear sight is set at 1 to 4 and 2mm when set at 5. Mine had no impact on function.

Differences: Fixed stocks came with standard pins and LH selectors. Folders came with standard pins and RH selectors. Optic not Readys came with threaded pins and RH selectors.
