Yeah, I thought all gen2 Pmags would fit but the last two I bought don't. I don't have an ar15 or any other gun the takes those mags so they are basically just sitting there.

What part of the mags were you grinding down? The spine part on the back?
Where does one send a T97 in for repair? I've had it less than a year and assume it's still under some sort of 1 year warranty. Mine doesn't chamber rounds anymore. They fit half way in and just stop as if something is blocking the bolt from pushing them all the way in. They even feed crooked now, pushing the bullet into the casing. Tried a bunch of different mags this time, and the same thing happens.
I bought it online, out of province. I am pleading ignorance on this, but I assumed there were gunsmiths licensed to work on certain brand firearms under (and not under) warranty, like there are for cars? First time I've ever needed to get a firearm "looked at".

I'm kind of surprised I haven't seen any photos of it here yet. Reliable Gun has had them for a while now, and it looks like they even had a few in FDE.
That's a factory railed upper, not the T97 upper
I'd ask north Sylva, I believe they imported the T97's
I machined a larger button the other night. It's just a bit smaller than a nickle and the face is dished. Definitely much easier to find and push with left index finger. Sticks out a bit from right side of rifle...doesn't seem to catch or get bumped, will have to test more.
I was 90% there with making a left side ambi mag release...but then made a booboo on the mill and ruined the part. Put it on hold for now...I'll start over later.
I was going to try and make an AR style trigger block safety...but t97.ca's lower has all that so I will probably just buy that eventually. I kind of like the rounded forend as it is though.

Got a hold of a T97 last month finally finished it to my liking the other day.
Got the FTU on it, added Magpul MBUS, eotech 552 I got on the cheap, and a side poly rail. I also modified the feed ramp as per the post earlier in this thread and it completely solved the common feeding issues it has (all of which were caused by loose fitting mags). Sling is just a hella-comfy laptop bag sling I've had since 10th grade. I would really love to find an original QBZ95 lower handguard for it, anyone know of any that might be sold anywhere?

Its rather hard to reload for it as the gun beats the hell out of brass. Even on the lowest gas setting mine puts a rather dent in the side of the brass when ejecting.
That's no fun.

Mine does the same. If im trying to shoot somewhat accurately I'll just turn the gas off completely.
That's one way to do it. I wonder if a heavier spring would help slow down the cycle?
I tried reloading some 75gr Hornady bthp. Was accurate but no better than factory Hornady ammo
What kind of accuracy were you getting?
I got a lucky 1moa group. Average probably 1-5-2.0 moa
That's pretty damn good, must like those heavy bullets.
