No, just a rational, logical person. Logic tells me you have no way of having access to secret sources into TI's dealings. For someone who doesn't care about this deal or these rifles, you are expending a hell of a lot of effort maligning the deal.
Who is buying a Type81?

Maligning the deal? TI is selling rifles at full price to consumers that aren't even built yet, delivery date was already bumped twice, soon to be a 3rd time. Nobody is souring this "deal" except TI.
And for the 40th time, the exact same thing happened when they tried to bring in the Famae's, except only a "partial" down payment was required then, not full. So there's a history of them ####ting the bed on these pre-orders already, and needless to say some of us are a little bewildered they would even try it again after that mess.
regardless of what happened with any other rifle, there is no evidence of any kind of anything similar happening here. They are offering the rifles for sale a good number of us have chosen to pre-order and pay for one. They are not pushing them on anyone. No evidence that they will be bumped yet again.

I'm on the presale list so yes, I do care about these coming in.
But I'm also very much aware of what is happening. Again, whether you believe it or not, makes no difference to me.
China wants full payment before production. TI is doing a full price pre order and hoping they get enough buyers to make the full order paid in full.
That isn't maligning the deal. That's being very much aware of how the deal works.
And TI isn't the only one dealing with China or trying to bring in the guns from the same people. There are sources of info other than TI. As much as TI wants everyone to think they are the only game in town to secure those pre orders.
Really hoping that TI is going to be unlocking the other thread with and update soon and they did state the production is slated to start in July......hope they keep us in the loop as July 1st is 18 days from today!
Good God, don't go searching for that thread unless you have 3 hours and a stiff drink. I made the mistake of looking for it last night before going to bed. Ended up going to bed at 3:45am for a 7am wake up. It's like a really good novel. Just can't put it down!!
I can't believe that I missed that during the goings on and the balls of Marstar.

Do you work with TI? You seemed to not answer the first time it was asked.
Where is your proof my proof is proofless over your proof?
Why should TI be believed when they have been wrong twice moving to thrice?

I heard it's a Chinese evening pastime to read these threads and laugh at us Canadians.
For clarity, I have no proof of that.

Canada Ammo was taking a shot at it. First attempt didn't work...
At least one other is looking at the prospect...
Got a Type 81 bayonet today. Now I just need the rifle
Unfortunately I read these may not be compatible with our Canadian retail version. I hope I'm wrong and in that case I'm jealous and will be looking for one myself.
