Depending on how the barrel is pinned to the body, perhaps they could bring in conversion kits as a compromise. Barrel, bipod, the handguards, fire selector, and the pinned drums. No FRT required, no need to bring in huge shipments. Fitting them at request if they have the tools, again, depending how it's pinned onto the body, I know a few people who'd definitely buy it. Bringing in just kits might be good for testing the water, and if there is actually enough demand for the kits, they could consider bringing in the LSW as a standalone unit later.

Hi.
我也是中國人...
But seriously...
I don't think you know what LSW and QBB implies with the RCMP
5.8 family was developed in the 80s not 95. 95 is when they first commissioned it to show off for the reclaiming of Hong Kong in 97. Which is why I'm here in this lovely country of Canada.
I have had first hand experience** with both the type 97 and QBU-88 in 5.8mm.
If you want it to look like a support weapon, buy a type 97 and dress it up like I said before.
Not sure how you'll be able to find the barrel for it. Last I check, the heavy barrel is only sold to Cambodia military groups.

Here's a picture of SU16Shooter...

I'd love to get my hands on a rifle in 5.8 (and ammo too!) it seems from reports to be a very effective round.

Apologies to Led Zep
Ah, so you're one of those Hong Kongers who came to Canada prior to the handover. My parents came for different reasons. Anyways, you are correct, they developed the 5.8mm first, using the Type 87. 1995 is when they started producing the 5.8mm weapon family for use by the Chinese Armed Forces, but they have been using it in Type 88 before, designed with Israeli help.
As for how I'll be able to find the barrel, handguards, fire selector, and bipod for it, it all depends on whether North Sylva is willing to import them.
I would definitely be interest but if would have to be priced right like maximum $1500. I like the idea of selling the parts for it and using the t97nsr as the base.
