and now today update says they should be in ALL dealers hand by November 9th.
For said dealers many province away to have them in hand on the 9th they would have to ship pretty much today and even then, depending where NS warehouse is , i would not expect the farthest dealers to have them if they were shipped today.
I dont think we would be getting AI slop anouncement instead of proper picture if they had the rifle in hand right now and were in the process of packaging dealers order and shipping them. So yeah... kinda hard to believe anything NS says at this point.
