    Wow, I just spent 20 minutes reading this thread and sorting through the pile of split hairs... Who worries about the cost of mags on a $3000 rifle?!? Bottom line is TI doesn't have them yet Same size of a C7 with the hitting power of a C6, yes I need one. But money won't leave my account unless I see the words "in stock" on their website. I'd like to order from TI just so some awesome can rub off from a Lynx in their warehouse...
    This is a sad example of how one in the hand is better than 2 on pre-order!

    Something isn't right. TI initiates the whole process of brining 542's and the competitors land them first. Famae has dropped the ball on this one.

    Your information is grossly inaccurate.

    Back in 2011 (? nov) these were announced by TI as being submitted to the rcmp (on CGN). No other dealer had said anything on the topic of these rifles. Suddenly, months later they appear for sale by another dealer. So, it's hard not to believe that TI didn't somehow get scooped or pushed back of the line..

    If there is any info that would correct this (mis)? perception, please let us know....

    Are they in production? You mentioned a month ago or so that they would be by end of summer.

    It's Chile....who knows what their business practices are like. TI asks for 250 units at xxxx dollars per unit, CSC comes along and says "I'll take 5000 units at xxxx", maybe they give CSC full production as it's more worth their while....again who knows, but the delay is definately getting out of hand.
    It's getting a little bit Sunday around here.....
