Cool new products for the T97 rifle!

I'm not trying to be that guy, but the gun was designed to be reloaded by using the right hand and tilting the rifle with the left hand supporting it. Why are people trying to reload it in a way it was never designed to be reloaded and then complaining about ergos? :S I just don't get it...

It comes down to personal preference. I like the right side mag release. You can twist your wrist to drop the mag. I would prefer one behind the magwell where it can't be bumped but I have yet to see one.

That's because the original military design was meant for an AK style mag release, where you can beer can the mag with your right hand and flick the empty mag out with one single motion. Two reasons why that cannot be done with our Canadian civvie redesign.
(1) Due to our gun laws, we have this preference to using 10 rounders AR mags, which is straight insert and not tilt-in. Never mind the mag release, the redesigned mag well seems to be a problem.
(2) Most North American shooters are programmed to be AR shooters, anything that does not operate the same way as an AR is not preferred. Hence we have a dogma about keeping strong hand on grip while reloading.

Right on the money, unfortunately the mag release they used isnt very user friendly, hence this upgrade....
