Very impressive indeed, right up there with any Swiss gun
Niice shooting! QUESTION: I thought the Type 97 hasn't been for sale b4?(as per all the Hype, & wait lists etc) I did see the Type 88 for like $3k .. Wondering How/when were these previously for sale..? ..thnx.
They were previously brought into the country (4 years ago?), but were deemed prohibited by the RCMP due to them being easily convertible to full auto. From what I gather they had a design that they hired the chinese to do, but they simply converted some fully auto type 97 rifles to semi auto and sent them here. The police did an inspection on arrival to Canada and discovered this. Not all were converted autos but many were apparently.
This new design has a receiver that does not accept any parts from the original T97 from what I understand and hence it is non-restricted.
I hope that helps.
Wow that's a pretty accurate rifle, nice!!
