Yeah.
The game gives me a quest step to dismantle rare or legendary sniper rifles. 10 "parts" worth.
Then it lets me binge over 4 hours of heroic strikes, without giving me even a SINGLE sniper rifle from drops or engrams. Not one single, solitary one.
Plenty of shotguns and fusion rifles and machine guns and scout rifles and auto rifles ... not ONE SINGLE SNIPER!
Hey, Bungie! Did you actually intend this quest to cost the player a bazillion legendary marks to buy the necessary items from the Vanguard or Faction dealers? Or is your loot drop system just that broken?

I dismantled Year 1 snipers for it. The fusion rifle one was like you described, though - I never held on to fusion rifles since I don't really like them, so I had to grind and grind.
