Who is buying a Type81?

[norlandgeese]

From reading the nonsense on this thread, TI must feel like they are dealing with a bunch of impatient children on a long road trip. "Are we there yet?" over and over again.

It should be expected.
After all.....
"This is madness... This is CGN!"

 

[hori]

LOL... most of the whining is coming from peeps who never even pre-ordered. CGN drama queens and post wh@res... LOL

 

[rockport guy]

Man, I'm stoked to hear the update!!!!!

It's a Chinese rifle, just like the food, you need more of it/information 20 minutes later!!!! LOL

If you think your going to get info in 20 minutes on this Chinese rifle... good luck!

Agree, this thread has reminded me of road trips with the kids.

I want to like the gun, believe me I do. It may be great and probably will be, but why does TI need to have such poor customer relations along the way?

They are like the Marstar of cool new rifles. Which is not good.

Are you a customer?
Have you preordered the rifle? My guess is you haven't.

I have, and I don't feel that TI has had poor customer relations along the way.

Youza.

If you have kids who don't ask are we there yet by the time you've driven non-stop since march of 2016; bravo.. LOL.
Beyond that I think asking for an update that THEY mentioned, is hardly impatient; it's simply asking if they have any news. I don't see many people slagging TI's name, and if they are that's their business. I'm just curious about my vapourware and want to see pictures of final quality to know whether I want a second or not.

the op when he started the thread was not who is buying at 81 right now ... im one of those that is not buying before some are testing it ... wrong or right i do not know but so far we didnt hear that much about the communication since the company saw the rifles ...

so up to now the rifles has been made and inspected but we did not hear from first hand about the quality nor when they will arrive :am i wrong on that one?

There is no such thing as judging the "final quality" of a gun by looking at a mere picture.

Youza.

The eta is on their product page.

That means nothing they promised pics of the rifles on Saturday all we got was a pic of cardboard boxes

And the best part, if there is a problem, according to the one update, these are done.

And likely will be, for 3 years(ish). Then where do you sit with your pre-order? Not likely they will stop the line to re-tool, if there is an issue, I'd bet.

Hopefully, life will be puppydogs and sunshine, and T81s blasting unloved appliances all around Canada.

Or maybe in 6-8 weeks, they will put them on a boat. That update post is vague enough, that I would not be surprised if that was the case. Nothing about them being at port, in a container, ready to sail.

At the beginning of this, the import teams didn't even have a clue, when the production run would be, until almost a year later (...unbeknownst to us and Poly... and all that nonsense)

Really hope you guys and gals get a shooter.

They made no such promise to post pictures "on Saturday". They said:

"We will make an update with pictures after our inspection on Saturday"


There's quite a difference there.

And the original ETA for the rifles was........how'd that work out?

Well the rifles got made, so I'd say it worked out.

 

[Sunchild2071]

Ok .....

 

[Sunchild2071]

Ok .....

Damn near nailed that Q3 2016 ETA right on the head.

This thread is all the entertainment I need to pass the time until the official announcement from TI. It is quite entertaining.
