If you guys waited this long why pull out now? I never pre ordered. proprietary mags where a deal breaker I already ditched my Swiss arms for that reason and I’m soon to ditch my cz 858 once my other rifles I pre ordered get here. It’s a fine looking rifle I hope it all works out for you guys. Don’t cut your nose off to spite your face if you ordered it you want it.

Wait you ditch all guns with proprietary mags? What mags do you want the VZ, Swiss arms and Type 81 to fit? Serious question.

Don't back out people... I can see why you are frustrated, however, having a Type 81 prototype in my hands now, I am certain it will be worth the wait.

We are so close, and TI does not want to post any dates because they aren't sure, and when they do post a date it does not get met anyhow due to many factors beyond their control. You will be kissing their butts when you get yours in. We are only a few weeks away from having these in hand.

I am so excited. I wonder what the final packaging looks like inside the box... maybe something like the 1990's Polytech AK's?

not necessarily asking for a date.

As far as I am concerned, frustration comes from lack of information/communication. If TI brings in 1,000 pieces and there are about a hundred unsold, then, there are as many as 900 people have paid, and are waiting. I believe TI owes it to the 900 people, to keep them updated. Updates can be as simple as telling them where the rifle are, still with customs? what's causing the delay? What's being done to resolve any issues encountered, etc..

Is it extra work for TI? yes. Is it difficult work for TI? No. Is it important to keep customers updated? well, for $1.2M revenue, I would think it is.

Well folders are and have been sold out for months now. Maybe a select few will be available due to cancelations. Under 100 fixed left. I’m sure some will pop up on EE at an increasingly higher price.

I got a beat down on the who is buying a Type 81 thread... I dared to say that prices will be higher on the EE.. Even for the non obtainable folder..
Some seem to think they will pick them up at deep discounts...
I disagree

I only want a couple different mags ar-15 mags and ak mags and I might keep the 858 and just suffer the fact that I have to have separate mags. The Swiss was nice but I didn’t want to convert it over to the nea lower then though I had two of them. I gjust a big box of ar-15 mags and I’m rebuilding my ak mag stack as I sold the Sks d I had might have to buy another one not sure

I agree anyone who's been waiting this long isn't going to sell at a discount when there is no new ones to buy. Their may be a few that people just want to get their money out of just like the 858 but I'm sure they will be far and few between.
 
10 demands for an update every day. From what I've seen, TI has updated WHEN something changes. If there no update. Take a guess why. I feel like I'm in a grade 7 classroom when I come to this thread.

I call BS, what kind of a company is this that can’t keep a accurate inventory count. Probly just another way to drive panic buying.

TI has repeatedly stated they update that number from time to time to reflect phone and e-mail orders, so it's not accurate, but we don't know how inaccurate it may be.
