PolyTech Type 81: The Canadian Kalashnikov

“Wolverines, eh!” The PolyTech Type 81 is as close as we Canadians can get to an AK-47 for now, so in this episode, we look this reliable and reasonably accurate Chinese 7.62x39 rifle, discuss its features and do some long-range shooting with a 1-4.5x Athlon scope.

Many thanks to Mark in Kelowna for loaning his rifle and Jeremy in Toronto for trading with Mark for his M10X paperweight. In Vancouver I’d like to thank Kyle for loaning his Caldwell Stinger rest, Byron for spotting and Calvin for loaning his drum mag.
