I haven’t gotten my shipping notice yet. I’ve been pretty patient, but this is getting long winded.
I thought I read somewhere TI was going to work through the weekend to get all the orders out.
I hope to get something this week, the wait it brutal. Glad to know there are other folks still waiting.
You wouldn't think a military rifle would be so fragile as to bend in a cardboard box but hey stranger things have happened.
I have bought many new rifles over time and only one ever came in a Styrofoam supported box, that was my CZ 512T.
Lots of junk comes out of China, quality control isn't a #1 concern over there. I'm betting there manufacturing machinery is getting wore out for the Type 81 rifles and the Chinese don't give a fuch, they will sell anything.

Communist countries only care about functionality. Back in the day, a buddy had a Type 56-S folder. The folder wasn't totally in line with the receiver either. It functioned well and was as accurate as any other AK that we both shot. He kept it, and probably still has it.
Quality control is something you do not skip on made in china product.
