I can only assume they figured out the issues with the key shaped holes vs. real keymod ports. The reason I started this thread was to gain a confirmation from the Canadian side of importation. That, and it seems a lot of people were not aware of this rifle. There is a nice review of what I assume is a prototype version done by PakGuns over in Pakistan:

    From that thread on Pakguns, I noticed this:
    The price I paid was in figures nearing 200K. (post # 17)

    An online currency converter gave this:
    200,000.00 PKR = 2,639.44 CAD
    Pakistani Rupee ↔ Canadian Dollar
    1 PKR = 0.0131972 CAD 1 CAD = 75.7737 PKR

    YIKES!

    I like this model , i prefer the design over the ftu made here . The rail seems to be a bit lower than the canadian FTU so it would work better with AR risers and BUIS . Stock to rail hight more inline with a AR .

    Yikes is right! However, I may be able to explain that. The version they have is not the same as the production version that was posted earlier in this thread. It's possible that the guns that the Pakistani guys got their hands on were prototypes (therefore "limited" in a sense). I also don't know what their market is like. It could be they have some crazy import costs/nut-so taxes/weird mark ups or the like that we don't. The production version is slated to come out this Spring and it's likely we'll find a much more reasonable price closer to that $1000 mark.

    I can confirm Pakistani prices are really high, a price list has a Glock 17 valued at 250 000 of their currency. So it's not the price of the new T97, it's just what their prices are like. We should have a much better price that is at or around the same as the original rifle

    I would like this, especially with the adding of the LHG. This rail will work better I think.

    If that is the case I'll start saving for one right now. This would go nicely with my Tavor.

    Yes Pakistan market is very pricey. A glock goes for we'll over 2k cad. It's dealer markup in that market.

    At this moment, the Chinese factory are in full production for the T97 rail top version. Including enhanced feeding ramp for reliability.

    Now comes the bad news, they are not sure if type81 can be on Canadian market end this year since the production speed is not that fast.
