The mount was custom engineered and manufactured specifically for the Type 81 rifle and was extensively tested to ensure reliability, durability and zero-holding properties. The mount consists of replacement hammer and trigger receiver pins with threaded ends on one side and hex indentations on the other. The replacement pins thread into the adapter plate, while the safety is replaced with a right-hand safety. The side mount is quick-detach and fits over the adapter plate.
