The darker wood looks nice (but in reality it was some awful painted finish), and that is what the sample originally had. They swapped it with lighter wood.

I know I dispise the darker color the shape of the stock is what I mean it's more like a valmetd m76 than the sample you have

So you're saying that TI lied about the folders being in the nose of the can and they just got another can in two days ago?

This would line up with what I had hypothesized on this thread a while ago. Think about it: why would they ship out only pre-ordered fixed stocks AND new orders of fixed stocks without sending out the pre-ordered folders? At my work, it takes two people 20 minutes max to unload the back of a full truck with a forklift and pallet jack, and those trucks are about half the size of a shipping container. So even if the folders were at the back of the container, that excuse doesn't hold water. The idea that a company that's so stingey that they won't bring in temporary labour to help offload the shipment (it's not like this was a surprise) would be willing to pay the lease on a shipping container for an extra 3 weeks kind of stretches credibility.

At the end of the day, happy we'll be getting our rifles. It's been a long time, and many people have shown patience through all the delays, uncertainty, and lack of information. But this entire process has been very eye-opening regarding either TI's efficiency or honesty.

They must be working with a trailer out in the middle of some field.
