I emailed Octagon, here's their response:
Order date: 28th May 2020
Send out date: 2nd June 2020
On Board Date (ship) : 5th June 2020 => Out of Hong Kong already

Its almost arrive Canada ~

As it is by surface mail (sea), it takes around 60+ days until
you receive it ! it should almost arrive Canada or arrived Canada already,

it depend the labour doing their own shipping job well or not

As of goddamn coronavirus pandemic and worldwide lock down,
and no choice of air or EMS parcel, its parcel shipped by surface
(sea) mail, it takes around 50 ~ 60 days, please be patient a bit
until you receive it !

Thanks & look forward to get your understanding

LOL
 
I purchased something on ebay from HK in April and it just arrived first week of August. There was no updates on Canada Post site. It just showed up one day in my mailbox when I already gave up waiting for it.
 
same here, some small items worth $2. it took 4 months and aliexpress kept sending me email to file a claim. i waited 5 more days then filed. it arrived the next morning, i was able to cancel the claim.

Yes, I know about the GSG-5 rear sight difference. If only the 16 had that same receiver.

When I bore sighted the rifle using the shortest front sight post, my sights appeared about 1 foot higher than the bore (20 yards). Now with the tallest post, I’m hoping it’s a bit more even. But I can always adjust the front post either by making it taller or shorter. Maybe with the rear too. I’m off to the range next week, so I have all week to think about it lol.

Did you get your rifle out?

I just took mine out with the tallest sight.. and I'm shooting at least 10" higher, with the DTB rail delete with a HK MP5 rear sight at 25M.

At 10M.. Aiming at the blue dot.

At 25, aiming at the blue dot.

Same with my GSG after the upgrades.

A higher front post reduces the sight picture. As my claw mount failed I am installing a metal 20mm rail on the printed 3D rail delete with threaded screws and epoxy.

I'm just turning down the rear sight drum on mine. Since on my rear sight, the drum is a separate part.
 
Could not clamp it down enough when shooting in the heat, was worried the plastic receiver shell was going to crack. The POI started shifting after a few hundred rounds.

Yup, and the rear sight sits too high. I’d say maybe 1/3”? Quite a bit. I fabed up a taller front sight post, and it’s somewhat accurate now. But with the very tall front sight post, it ruins the sight picture because of the front sight hood. The front post is just too tall.

Dropthebomb May be working on a solution, eventually.

I need to reduce the height of my rear drum sight but I’m not sure if the SRC rear drum sight comes apart. I’ll have to check it out.

Not sure if he could lower the rear sight any lower. Not without modifying the receiver.

Yeah I'm not sure. I'm running a ICS.

I filed it about 1/2 the height it was, any lower and the threaded part will block the peep.. I'm going out again later, to see how bad it is..

If I want to go lower, ill need to file a channel in the threaded part as a passage for the peep.

Chances are I'll get the DTB modified rail delete with the mini rail.

So where exactly did you file down?

Thanks

Well mines comes off apart in 3 pieces. The drum is separate then the other 2 parts. So I sanded down the bottom of the drum. Lowering the POI. But it wasn't enough when I tested it today. So I sanded down more to get another full turn... But then the threaded piece obstructed the peep. So I sanded that down as well.

So next time I'm out, ill bring my front posts and see where it zeros now.
