Seeing that you guys are the Norinco importer, I figured that you guys are importing the new T97s now.
If so, is that true?

Could you tell us more on the differences between the new legal batch vs the old illegal batch?

Does this also mean you guys will bring in the long awaited JS 9mm now?
 
Would be great assurance to know the FRT is approved to guarantee we'll get the 97 in Spring and not like the previous fiasco.
 
Also if they already have a sample and its approved they can take some pictures of it in the mean time ... :needPics:
 
OK.

I have been monitoring this forum for a few days and this is the first opportunity I've had to post as It has been a busy week.

Let's set the record straight regarding the T97NSR, I wanted the be the first to post about it, but some excited dealers beat me to it.

For well over a year now, North Sylva has been working very hard with Chinese State Arsenals to redesign the receiver on the original T97A rifle. A few prototypes were created, and after a few tries, it seemed we finally got it right.

This newly made firearm will be know as the T97NSR. It is important to note that this is NOT a T97A. It has been completely redesigned from the ground up. We are currently in the process of finalizing on the FRT number and the new sample should be approved shortly. If everything goes according to plan, these should be in stores hopefully by early spring.

Please feel free to ask any questions you may have.

Thanks,

Thanks. So what gave Wanstalls the idea that the FRT was done?

I'm not going to bet that the RCMP does not say "New Chinese bullpup? Looks like the Type 97, must be a variant. Prohib, (CGN) suckers!"

Except that makes absolutely no sense.....

The type 97 model is not prohibited by OIC. Converted auto/full auto is and that is what they claimed the original was.

There is already a non-restricted Type-97 variant..... so they cannot prohibit it based on being a variant.
 
Alright this has opened up more questions than answers.

Will this new T97NSR be even a QBZ95/T97 pattern rifle? Or is this brand new rifle designed based off the already legal QBU88?

If the new rifle is based off the legal QBU88, is it essentially a QBU88 chopped down down to 19inches, with STANAG mag well, flat top upper, side charging handle?

If it is neither, and if it is indeed a brand new design altogether, is this rifle even a T97 anymore?

What we want to know is, are we receiving a QBZ95 type rifle or not? Or it is a shorter QBU88 but renamed as a T97NRS? Or is it a brand new rifle that does not resemble the QBZ95 or QBU88 altogether but marketed as a T97?
 
North Sylva,

You mentioned previously you were working with Chinese State Arsenals in order to have the rifle redesigned to suit our market. Now, this is a bit of a stretch, but how hard would it be to have them redesign the rifle with a flat top rail and a charging handle moved to the left or right side of the rifle? Would they even be receptive to a request like that? The reason I ask is that it would make the rifle a lot more optic friendly.

I understand that would likely be a significant redesign but not entirely impossible. I figured there's no harm in throwing the idea out there.
 
The rifle will look like a T97, internally the frame is built different in order to prevent happy parts from being installed or any modifications made thereof. I saw the specs myself and asked my opinion , I don't see any problem with FRT approval.
 
hey NS reading this makes me want to ask if you could get the chineas to make Scars, since rcmp didnt approve the original Scar maybe the will approve a clone
