^^^^^ few posts.
Not a "credible source", but simple math. Factory = "X"$ to just pay the costs of keeping the doors open. Then they need profit, and wages, beyond what the basic infrastructure hard costs would be.
From this, one could surmise a reasonable assumption on how many units a year would be required for a factory, to stay afloat, after all hard costs are taken into account. I'm guessing that TI, as well as other players in the import business, have a better idea of total factory output, historically, than one could guess from basic math.
As far as this order goes, by itself, total timetable would(should) be quite short. Variables would be how overlaps in production are treated. I.E. can they do this in conjunction with a military Type 81 order, in parallel, as far as assembly process rolls? Or is it 100% independent, start to finish?
To be viable, I would think that production of this Canadian order would have to fall well short of a month (total time), to even be feasible, for the factory, no matter how low the factory wage is.
"A few days" may be a little low, but I would be surprised to find that a month, would be viable. If this order is 100% start-to-finish independent of other work in the factory, I'd wager it would nearly take more to shut down, get ready and startup this line, and then shut down for the next line; than the actual production time.
And I could easily have my head up my a$$. I don't know how long. Just ridin' the ride, like the others here, waiting.

^^^^good read thank you! Now let's say the rifles are fully complete crated and ready for their journey over to canada.......how long does it take for these to arrive in Canada from the day they are shipped? Also how long to clear customs?
Leave factory
7 days to transport and load on ship
10 days for freighter to Vancouver? More if other stops ?
5 days in CBSA inspection. After all these are semi auto's
10 days for load, rail and unload
Arrive at TI's door. So a month after order is ready for pickup at factory
Pile On.......

Lol not a credible source (considering it is coming from the dealer who went to china to start this thing) but your post is credible.
Makes sense to me

My last shipment from China via sea took a month to get to eastern Canada. It depends on the routing of the ship and how many ports it stops at along the way. It could come to Vancouver and get on a train for all we know. Customs is the catch. If it's cleared in advance it's off the ship and on it's way in a day or two. It can take up to a week or more if there's a paperwork snag or goods are packed in wood that has not been treated/fumigated to the correct standard. In which case they will fumigate the entire sea can before releasing.

And if it was me I would enquire about air shipping the entire shipment if possible. I get pallets and crates shipped to my office in Vancouver from Europe or China for about the same as truck freight from Texas to Vancouver. TI will probably tell you it's not possible due to the nature of the goods however it's probably more because it would cut into their profit margins.
My guess is that will happen to anything new coming in now
I have a bad feeling that these will spend quite some time getting through customs with the way the RCMP have been behaving of late....
I hope I'm wrong and they are here before the March break though!!!!

Dont kill my dreams.
I pray you're wrong..... but wouldn't be surprised
Never underestimate the power of the fake news!!!!
Too true, let's see how this plays out
They can't be. They have already been determined not to be AK variants and we are just about at that magic 365 day mark at which time classification becomes unchangeable. Near as I can tell, February 4th is the one year anniversary of these rifles being classified non-restricted. as of 9 days from today, the RCMP are powerless to change that.

Unless they add a new frt to cover off converted autos.
That would be adding new classification entry on the frt. Not changing the existing one. That's what the done before.
