I got an email this morning saying that the manufacturer shipped them the wrong number of Type 81 SE OR Fixed Stock rifles and that they're all out of stock.
This is weird because I placed an order hours after it was announced and received my transfer notice the very next day...so either the number of OR fixed stock rifles that were sent were laughably low or orders weren't fulfilled in the order they were received (or maybe my order was prepared but was given to someone else for some reason or another).
The OR Fixed Stock version was also on the website for a few more days before mysteriously disappearing too so that meant people were still able to order them up til they realized what happened and pulled it.
In the email, they provided some alternative solutions that I'm not too happy about. I specifically ordered for the OR so I didn't have to deal with the install myself, and I chose fixed because I prefer it over the folding stock.
I'll see what they have to say to my response
EDIT:
Admittedly, this post was fueled by a knee-jerk upset reaction on my part, and for that I do apologize
The staff at TI reached out and were able to resolve the issue quickly. It's unfortunate that the manufacturer mix-up soured my experience on a first time purchase but they handled the situation really well and turned things around for me. Thanks again
