Who is buying a Type81?

[GUB]

Am waiting to buy someones impulse buy. Ill probably savw the tax on it. Onky few more weeks to go

I don't think so. Add $300 on top of the delivered to my door price.
Then you pay your own shipping and insurance

Lol. You are going to try and flip one of these for $1500+ and make $300 off a rifle that is still available from TI for $999...
Good plan son!

Does anyone feel that new Liberal gun legislation that Trudeau has been promising in the fall of 2017 is going to screw us on this one?

Nope.. I've got no plan on selling .. But I was responding to buddy who thinks he can get a folder for MSRP and the seller eats his tax and shipping
And If TI is correct no more being made..

TI already said Poly had many more made then they had ordered, so the are bringing more in.

Here's to hoping they don't move too quickly and the price comes down a bit to stimulate prospective buyers.

Or another sponser bought the whole production run and they will retail at a lower price.. All speculation and quess work
After all that is what CGN is all about

You don't watch the EE often do you?

Extra units is not the same as "many more". They truth is we don't know how many were manufactured.

Well we do know TI had 1000 made and couldn't sell them all in 2 years... demand doesn't seem to be all that high for these at $1000 a pop.
I'm more surprised the folders sold out before the fixed stocks. Folding stocks really do suck for shooting, so I guess there were many noob buyers on this run lol.

 

[cranswick]

$1000 isn't that much...most common popular handguns are around 900-1200...no one complains...

How many of those $900-$1200 handguns are made in China?

These folders were also put on type 84 AK's in the early 90's and ppl liked them. I ordered one for the transport convenience, and am hoping it will be as ergo friendly as the AK stocks were. We shall see.

Demand is a strange thing. 1000 is a very large pre-order for Canada. Not everyone will do pre-order. I actually hate the mechanism.

I do expect these will sell out quickly once CBSA clears them and reviews pop up everywhere.

 

[cranswick]

True, but there are Chinese made handguns that are more than $500...which in terms of materiel used, is somewhat proportional...

Where did you see a $500+ Chinese pistol?

They P762's are selling for $499 now... Though I can't fathom why.

Right....Canam found a handful at the warehouse that were overlooked. I don't think the original price was that high...$399 maybe?

 

[ComradeVlad]

So what, I have an $1800 laptop made in China..... The 1000 pre orders were hard to sell because one, it's a 100% down preorder. Two it's for a gun nobody really has experience with. Once the shipment is shipping out to owners and the reviews start pouring in I'm willing to bet any left overs will be gone real fast. And then EE will be the only option until the day possibly comes that another retailer or TI brings in more.

I view buying a folder as a smarter decision then buying a fixed.... I can make a fixed stock for the gun in a matter of days if I wanted, so I technically have BOTH options now.

How many Canadians do u think would be willing to pay a $1000 for a Chinese's SVD if they were NR ?
