Initial impressions: Service from TI good. Ordered week ago Monday and arrived on Vancouver Island today.
ergonomics are poor for a full sized person. Pistol grip is small, butt stock short and cheek weld ends up above sight axis. Rifle feels light especially in back end but is reasonably well balanced
Sights are poor - short radius and don't get the bar across the top
safety is poorly shaped and has sharp edges, bolt handle is a bit small, sight adjustment has sharp edges and is too small, trigger long and creepy, mag release small and difficult to operate
finish is what you would expect for a cheap Chinese rifle i.e. poor and not up to standards we would expect in North America. Whole rifle feels cheap and tinny.
Love the AK look but initial impressions are not that this is $1100 worth. Compared to a SKS you are not getting a lot of value for your money.
Still kudos to TI for bringing this into Canada
