Who is buying a Type81?

Right. But the point some one was trying to make was that if north Sylva took over the quality would some how be questionable on the type 81 because some type 97 had a barrel gouge.
Which is a huge leap.

That is exactly what China thinks. Hence why TI needs to submit a larger order paid in full before China will start up. Thus the full price pre-orders.
I'd be very surprised if another importer doesn't get them here first. Canada Ammo is in the running but is having hiccups at the lab.
So has TI given the factory a good faith deposit? Otherwise the factory has much better things to do then jerk around with a small Canadian order?
If not will the factory want full payment before they even start production??
This whole deal about paying in full with no fixed production date is kind of shady!!!!!! especially with the latest update.

Why anyone would not ask for a refund on their deposit has me baffled?? Being this far away from possible production??
Then come June get everyone to pony up a $1,000 deposit . Then TI will know what the interest is and possibly get a larger order.
Keeping things the way they are does nothing to install confidence in TI??

Well I saw this coming. Unless you really fork out the cash, the Chinese will #### you around, if not outright defraud you. Never trust the Chinese when doing business.
come on not you .... with all the explanation about paying now and getting latter .... i found it very ironic coming from you ....
They used several tactics to keep my order in. First being the incentives of a free magazine and a sling. Second being a $50 gift card which in my case will go towards two more magazines. Third was a scare tactic, notice at the bottom of their update they made a point of saying existing orders have the price locked in. To me that suggests they may plan on raising the price "come June" if this does truly end up being the only production for the foreseeable future. Anyways until a better option comes along it's the best shot I got at getting my hands on the gun I want, so I'll continue to play the waiting game.
If I had a deposit on a gun i would probably do what you are doing. My last deposit was on the Spartan 858's. and that was when they were landed in Canada.They used several tactics to keep my order in. First being the incentives of a free magazine and a sling.

We all know how that worked out.. I bailed as soon as the CFO got involved
Hate to be a Debbie Downer but with these tied into a military contract run I can see these been given a second look!!

I see what you mean. northsylva is likely behind all this and I think we will be seeing more than a barrel gouge and out of spec mag well if they ever get their hands on the t81
Because I believe this will end up being a relatively rare NR rifle and if me paying 1K helps bring these to our small market plus puts one in my hands I have no issues with that. Getting this rifles certified NR and produced in the relatively very small quantities required for our market is no easy task and those tasked with getting it done will always be sucking the hind teet from a negotiating stand-point. Short of doing all the work and taking on all the inherent risks myself I'll gladly pre-pay for the item for someone else to deal with the head-aches.
