As much as I am hopefully anticipating success, not looking so good. No update from TI at all, that I have seen. If I am wrong, someone please feel free to direct me to the info.
Looking at something else, and should the Q3 indicated delivery pass without a Type81 in my hands, I am looking at something else right now, that those funds could get me part way there.
In my industry, if I say something will happen by a set date, I will move the sun and stars to make that happen, and keep the client informed all the way. I haven't missed a date in almost 20 years. Serious financial penalties are the results of failure in what I do.
If the q3 deadline passes, I really have to evaluate if I wish to reward substandard performance on delivery with my money. I'm not big on that idea.
Calculate how many units pre-sold (paid in full). That money sitting in someone's account making interest, or other investment right now, and not even so much as a comment on status (that I know of). Not so cool, in my books.
If it's non restricted with the folding stock then it will be non restricted without it so long as the over all length does not hit 26 inches or less. If the over all length when the stock was folded was less than 26 inches it would be restricted. Read the over all length requirements in the firearms act then measure where the stock mates to the receiver.

Well said.
I think that would be a completely fair comment "if" TI was the actual manufacturer of these, which we all know they are not. To crap on a Canadian company for delays in a Communist China factory is a tough sell in my books.
With that said, their lack of updates or info has been a little lacklustre. I'm still holding out for an announcement in the coming weeks that they are on there way. I'm trying to stay optimistic.
edit; TI did mention in an earlier post that the factory said they are on track for Q3. Fingers crossed.
+2!
If they arrive on the 30th I'm gonna have a good laugh. If they don't it's already been said its not like TI is building them in country and end of Q3 wasn't set as a hard deadline just an ETA. Worse comes to worse cancel your preorder and pick one up when they become readily available.

Hi there TI:
so its september and almost half done now and you say there is no updates so are we to assume the order is not completed and we are awaiting shipping from the land of the rising sun? I would think that if we were to make any kind of Q3 deadline than they would at least be preparing to ship from the other side in the next while?? so again you say nothing to report we will half to assume there is no way in heck we will see these before the end of the month, Am I correct in this assumption
I financed mine with a down payment....just wondering why last week they took a payment for it from my account ...when i was told payments would only start when gun has been shipped ....whats up with that ????

He went with financing. The financing company takes a downpayment if you go with financing.
Maybe just maybe they are here and getting sorted out before shipping and processing everyone's orders :-0
No reason for any such assumption. Target date of Q3 means estimated to be anytime in Q3 and the latest info is that Q3 is still a valid target. They are not going to provide play-by-play status reports at every stage in the process nor should they.
