I believe it was stated they were shipped from BC to Alberta in December, not November.
correct, cleared customs in November. picked up the container in December. sell in January 3rd or 4th.

Still hearing lots of complaints that people find their cheap rifle cheap and are confused by it.
$1200 isn’t a lot of money for a semi.
Having gone the cobra route, I’m not entirely sure I’d do it again. I’d likely buy the TI pic mount and go with a conventional low profile micro dot.
Magnification would be nice but TI stated that the ejection port should be kept clear.
Agreed. And the ones I’ve handled, admittedly never one with the bends, are remarkably well made. Even compared to a Valmet 78. The folder mechanism is extremely well designed and manufactured, though the stock is remarkably short. Just have to remember that it was designed from Chinese soldiers from the 80s with vests on.
so if wanting to put optics on the rifle at some point, is the best bet getting the "optic ready" one + picatinny rail? I want a folder so I think the left/right side safety thing is moot and it will be right side anyway?

The optic ready comes with the right side safety, and threaded hammer and trigger pin pre-installed, but no rail mount. This simplifies installation when you do choose the Kobra or Picatinny kit, as you only have to attach the rail, and you have then threaded pins and safety from the kit as backup parts.
They're back down on MSRP on EE now.
Not really, the one you linked has 4 mags and we all have to pay taxes.
Unless you don't pay taxes or shipping from Ti and you don't bargain with people on EE like everyone here does, you're pretty darn close to MSRP.
The 4 mag package would cost me $1,440-1,450ish landed at my door. The one on EE is asking $1,500. There isn't $300 of markup in there.
Probably still better off to buy from TI IMO, EE FMV should probably be slightly lower than MSRP to give buyers some incentive.

I forgot to mention the TI Picatinny side rail mount and Kobra side rail are different, so you have to swap the different rails onto the threaded pins if alternating both. The Kobra side rail mount is compatible with certain non-TI Picatinny mounts as an alternative; you can seek info in those out elsewhere on the forum.

Tax in Vancouver is %12.
Shipping is 35$
2mags is 60$
So I think I'd have paid $1450 off the website,
I was wondering if you (or anyone) knew of a generic side mount plate that easily fits on the t81s? I'd love to mount an old kalinka or belomo of my own, instead of the kobra or generic picatinny. is the picatinny sideplate really just a generic sideplate that'll fit PSO scopes etc?
