You're comparing apples and oranges. Type 97 NSR's are here. Canada Ammo is selling the Type 97 NRR. IT IS A DIFFERENT RIFLE, if in name only. Different importer and likely a different manufacturer/facility (hence the different model name). Canada Ammo has already stated in this thread that their deal came to fruition later than the NS deal. That's why the price is different, it's a different arrangement with a different importer. It can't be any clearer than that. Whether or not they will arrive in "fall 2013" remains to be seen, but you can't hold them to a delivery date based on the arrival of their competitions different model. There's still a lot of time left in the fall for CA to make good on their claims. Also, maybe it's not like comparing apples and oranges, more like comparing Red Delicious apples and McIntosh apples. Sure their both apples, but they come from different orchards, grow on different trees, and are being delivered on a different truck.
