Kodiak Defense 180NSR- A shame we never got it, or the turd that never was?

I started a thread (to whine ) asking for an update or refund from Tenda , who wouldn't reply, and had removed the rifle from their website. I was searching for any kind of an update. Manufacturer , distributor and retailers didn't say anything for months.
That thread has been deleted. I never had a chance to look at the replies , but i'm sure it was a great read! This was Tendas reply:

"We noticed you posted on our forum in regards to your WK180NSR pre-order cancellation.
Due to the limited supply on the 1st shipment, we have taken the pre-order link away from our website since last week.
Please reply us with your order number, one of our customer rep will be contacting you today to process this for you."

The implication being that the 180NSR was produced, and there aren't enough to go around.

I sincerely hope that some people get this rifle in their hands and it works well.

I've learned a few valuable lessons about this industry and i'll approach how, and who, I buy firearms from differently moving forward. I also realised that despite my dealing with gun nuts in the "real world" being overwhelmingly positive- The internet is a ####hole no matter what. Even gun people , who are usually pretty awesome, are flapping douchebags online.

Keep in mind a few things:
- Everyone is pretty b!tchy due to this latest announced ban. Folks with collections of firearms and related equipment worth tens of thousands of dollars have been rendered worthless and legally unusable. Many sports and social aspects of lives that people spend a great deal of time involved in are under threat because a couple of knobs in Ottawa believe the shooting sports are inappropriate.

- It's the internet - people hide behind screen names to one degree or another - no different it seams from other platforms or even a windshield. Brush it off and move on.

- Pre-orders - they really are a 'Hail Mary'. If you are after a brand new, yet to be released rifle and you can wait for it, by all means go for it. However, time and time again, pre-orders are fraught with pitfalls and disappointment. If you want to skip all the non-sense and drama, go to your local gun store and look at what they have on hand.
 
Pre-orders are a sucker bet.

How many have we seen that were on-time and/or not crap? You don't need more than one hand to count them.
 
They do business differently that most other places ive found. The whole “store credit” thing on pre orders or returns etc is just a disincentive as well.
