Out of curiosity, did they mention if there's been an unusual delay, or if this is just the regular time it takes to import a shipment like this?

I think (total speculation) is that the plan is to deliver all the rifles via pre-order into Canada in a single mass shipment, ie all dealers will a ship/release date, where they will ship out all the firearms in a single go.

I believe that the worry from everyone in the firearm community is that if a few Makasi's and Carmel's get a bad rep, the whole thing gets shut down asap. To counter this, a large number of the rifle (talking many many thousands) must get manufactured, clear customs, be held in quiet (even with retailers and suppliers) and then shipped out at once. This allows a) Brigade to manufacture a large number b) Grants the distributor and retailers to sell large volumes and c) Allows as many Canadians to be able to possess these rifles. Such a process will send thousands of packages into circulation overnight, and be sold products upon their departure (which is why I think pre-order was heavily pushed here_

No but i wouldnt be surprised if the amount of QC complaints and brigades response didnt have something to do with it. Same idea when a game gets delayed to work out bugs is my guess but could be wrong
