I really liked my T97 NSR, except for one thing: The front sight.
The front sight on rifles currently available for sale is basically an SKS sight:
The front sight post drifts left and right inside the hood. This makes the sights unusable, as your eye doesn't know if it wants to center the post or the hood inside the rear aperture. The sight picture ends up looking like one of the two below:
The design makes no sense, and sabotaged the entire rifle. I sold it because of this one problem.
However, in your own T97NSR announcement thread, the rifle pictured has a completely different front sight.
The entire front sight base drifts left and right, keeping the front sight post in the center of the hood. This solves the problem, and is how all the original QBZ rifles are configured.
So why was it changed? Will we ever see the properly designed T97 in Canada?
I want to be the owner of a T97 rifle again, but only if the sights are usable.
