I agree that they were wise to wait if there were issues in design, QC, or production. Their early rimfires were plagued by problems, which appear to have been corrected, based on their considerable popularity.
Announcing that they were shipping when clearly they weren't ready, was dumb. This ain't 1967.
I still hope to get one, maybe more than one when they show up in the flesh. They look to be perfect for taking a walk in the woods.
