Type 81 - Auspicious Safety Mk II
Type 81 - Auspicious Safety Mk II
The factory safety on the Type 81 leaves a great deal to be desired. We got tired of its long, gritty throw and thumb-breaking placement, so we decided to improve it. The Auspicious Safety Mk II shortens the safeties throw to 90 degrees, locating the safe position easily accessible under the shooters thumb, even for under-folding rifles. The direction of rotation is preserved, so if you already have hours of trigger time on a factory rifle, our new safeties will quickly feel natural with minimal re-training. Compatible with all models of Type 81, no modification to the rifle is required and installation takes just minutes. Designed and manufactured here in Canada, the Auspicious Safety Mk II are made of a single piece of 6061-T6 aluminum and given a Type III hard coat anodizing for maximum protection.
- The Left-Sided version is designed to be easily accessible to right-handed shooters and stays out of the way of side-folding stocks
- The Right-Sided version is meant for left-handed shooters or rifles with optic side rails that prevent the use of a left sided safety
PLEASE NOTE:
- The Auspicious Safety Mk II may cause wear marks, scratches or dings to appear in the finish of your rifle over time, if keeping your Cold War era PLA service rifle in mint condition is important to you, consider other options
