or even better, they held 20 rounds instead of 5!
Why not a full 30 while we're dreaming?

Why not a full 30 while we're dreaming?
Took mine out today ran 360rds of corrosive and noncorrosive. Ringing 8" gongs at various distance. Ran dirty in a sand and gravel pit with no problems. A couple times bolt hold open didn't lock back on one of my mags but I'm impressed this rifle is a keeper. Well worth the wait
$hit man I'm sorry to hear this.....in same boat as you...well you are ahead of me as you have already received your rifle I'm still waiting for mine and I'm already feeling I'm gonna have to send it back what a joke I feel for you man its a fvcking crap shoot
Hey TI i thought all the rifles that have gone out last were checked and gone over? Why are people still receiving bent rifles?

I sent a email to check mine , I think Monday last week.. got a email back Wednesday saying mine had shipped on Tuesday before they could check! That's from TI.. take it for what its worth!
Good to hear but very disappointing for those of us still waiting.
Not your daily by any means but how you could get your original rifle, see its fawcked, send it bad, GET your replacement rifle and already be shooting it again while we still haven't even got tracking yet is hard to swallow on TI behalf
Absolutely true. Shameful.
At least they were honest to tell you it was shipped out before they could check for defects lol what a joke what a slap in the face, absolutely disgusting
Got my folder on Sun along with all 7 mags I ordered . Not as bad as some pictured earlier but still visible issue. TI said my rifle is acceptable straight and they can't guarantee replacement will be better. So back for refund she went.
Good luck to those who stayed on the ship...

The Chi- Com bullet hose, basking in the December sun.....
It has about 150 rounds of non corrosive through it right now. I've only shot it at 100m and if the sights are lined up correctly, the bullet hits the gong. Just like the SKS, the real limiting factor in accuracy with this rifle will be the issue sights, especially for my almost 50 year old eyes. If I was serious about really shooting this rifle I would get one of the quad rails to attach an optic to it for super tacticoolness.
Maybe I will stretch it out to 300m tomorrow, if nothing else, this bullet hose is pretty fun to shoot. Just wish I had more mags- or even better, they held 20 rounds instead of 5!
Nice picture!
All 7 mags and a bent rifle like what gives here... it's either one or the other or nothing.....they can't guarantee the replacement will be better WTF is that for real?
Update #2: Been shooting this rifle a fair bit. Just crossed 800 rounds without a hiccup last night.
A few updated observations,
- Trigger is now like petting a puppy. Smooth!
- No malfunctions. Feeds like a champ.
- Nothing has loosened or fallen off
- Hits a 10" gong at 300m about 80% of the time kneeling/ standing in rapid fire. Increases to 100% when prone and with slow considered fire. Man sized target hits out to 300m are becoming boring.
- With a bit of practice, it is now VERY quick to bring on target and points very naturally. Feels balanced in the hands.
- Need a bipod as currently using the magazine as a monopod when prone.
- Does not get very dirty with the non-corrosive stuff.
- Only detraction: The upper hand guard paint has started peeling off. Apparently it's blued (but a bit scrubbed) underneath so not sure why they bothered with paint unless they refurbished the metal part of the hand guard.
Now need to find more non-corrosive ammo for it as i don't feel like running corrosive through it just yet. Any deals y'all aware of ?
"Hits a 10" gong at 300m about 80% of the time kneeling/ standing in rapid fire. " WOW......Man you have the eagle eyes! At 300m, I could barely see my 12 inches squard gong...That thick front post does't help too.

Hard to see some t81 on the EE while I still didn’t get sh*t

Nope. Still waiting on my folder.
I thought they would send both at once but there was a mix up.
