No! Folding stock from TI ordered as soon as pre-order went live.

I got the exact response a few days ago. still nothing...

Took my folder out today and ran 50 rounds through it, corrosive Czech. Ran flawless, smooth recoil, not much muzzle climb. I have to adjust the sights, was hitting 4 inches high and 6 inches to the left with rear sight at 100m and about 70m away from the target.
It's a keeper.

Talked to them just now and am sending my bent folder back for a replacement. The fixed stock one I received looks good!
Bent Folder serial # on Bolt carrier is 71693, Which translates to 20171693 on the receiver.

Some new intel - the rifles are apparently NOT shipped. I gon an e-mail from TI today advising my rifle has NOT shipped yet and that it may ship by the end of the week. No info was provided about if it's bent, how many mags, etc. NADA.
Interesting thing is I got almost an identical e-mail from them LAST week claiming it would ship back then. Very frustrating.
PS: I tried calling a few times today - surprise! no answer.

I was able to get through today. 150ish supposedly going out today? But they can't tell me if my order is one of them? It might be labeled but not scanned in? Maybe it was "hoped" to be out today? My order will be in one of 3 stages of processing????
Regardless I made very clear to emphasize to check my rifles for the known quality defects so far identified or not send them at all. I was cautioned that it may add to the delay in my getting the rifles. I told them that a further delay to do a quality check on my rifles would be acceptable. If this check was not possible I would take an immediate refund of my preorder rather than have the hassle of going through a return process.

It is my assumption that any multi rifle orders, be they mixed stocks or all the same, will be sent out last. As will any orders with the forends.
Only single rifle orders with no add ons have shipped so far that I have seen posted. So TI has gone after the low hanging fruit and shipped what was easiest and most convenient for them to process, fvck their long term pre order customers that might take a slight bit more effort to pack up and send their rifles.

That sounds about right.

Yup! With their latest update I'm thinking another 2 to 3 weeks before I can think of getting mine and who knows what will turn up with it. I ordered as soon as the pre-order went live online, still sticking in but Damn!
I received my order of one of each stock type.
You appear to be in the minority then. I will however offer a partial retraction of my statement but still stand by my opinion that TI is only processing the easy orders.
I mean what is the rush to serve your longest waiting, most loyal, big dollar spending customers? They have waited this long, they will wait a bit longer, right?
Some of every product is defective. That's just life.
Lol, imagine if everyone who has a big order started to cancel them
Then Tenda could get more dealer stock and maybe I could order a type 81 that I may actually one day receive
