Good ol Wikipedia.
Yes I suppose it's not the most reliable but it's one of the few places with model designations.
Do you know what the 81NS is? Is that the folder?

Never heard of it before. Bfiles mentioned it.... maybe he can say where he heard it.
NS has been a North Sylva designation before, but they haven't actually used any term or even mentioned or acknowledge pursuing this type yet. Maybe they are, maybe they aren't. All a guess.

The one on the Emei website? Forgot about that one.
North Sylva does deal with Emei, as do other importers. North Sylva does like the NS suffix on their models, and the Type 97 was built by Emei as well and imported by North Sylva.
But again, North Sylva has been silent on whether they have plans or not.

For those interested, the Emei firearms website is emfirearms dot Com. Before anyone gets excited, the website hasn't been updated in some time, the contact emails addresses are broken or unanswered, and the link affiliation is unknown and unverified. They have a link to sfrc but not sure if they are just a fan or actually have business ties to SFRC.
I also spoke to a friend of mine who travels to China a lot, and he said he has been a short version in the HK (Hong Kong) Police Museum. He said it was kind of like a 74U to get perspective. He will try to dig up pics.
Edit: He found the pic, turns out its just a really beat up and old rusty 74U...

That is great because pos north sylvan has that sick contempt on Chinese product they import and those product made them millions of dollars. It is nice to have TI and CanAm in the game who actually cares about reputation.
I don't know, as awkward as they are, I still like them. The ones I don't like are the under-folders with the straight stock lock position
