Would you consider bringing in Norinco 97 bullpups? (Part Deux)

[Deckard]

I've been pursuing this for 2.5 years. The rest of the threads have followed. I can say that, yes, this project is advancing. I'm not doing this for no reason.

I wouldn't call that valuable info - too emotional to be useful.

A military gun is a military gun, not art work.

It's not emotional, it's objective and to the point.

Emotional is all the guys getting excited over 5.8's and 9mm for 650 bucks...

Like I said it feels like a piece of garbage. I know a military gun when I see one, having owned and handled more than a fair share. No need to tell me they're not works of art. It's just that some are bigger pieces of #### in the fit and finish department than others that's all. The point I was trying to make is that they're not worth more than 700ish bucks....

Hey Deckard, just how realistic is it that these might find their way into our hands, and when? It's been tough to find the answer with all these inter-related threads.

John from Marstar asked how many people would consider the rifle for 800$ each which means he's atleast got interest in possibly selling them depending on the demand I'd presume. I think thats about how realistic its going to get before John decides & states he will import them.

It should suffice to say that these threads have not gone unnoticed.

Excellent......
Add my request for one to the list. Just the standard issue rifle, as per the pics above.

I'd disagree with that.I've felt worse rifles with better reputations.

 

[Longshot]

I seriously hope John finds a way to bring these in.I'll buy one.

They can get M14s and sell for $399, maybe some day we'll find the type 97 on their website with a $599 price tag, haha....I'll jump in even without the wife's approval.

XCR?

 

[Longshot]

XCR feels ok.I was thinking other bullpups.

Ok wen't through this whole thread, but couldn't an answer and the only exploded photo was too fuzzy to tell. Is this a gas piston design? Also does anyone make a picatinny rail for the thing?

 

[Deckard]

Yes and yes.

 

[Clobbersauras]

Yes and yes.

Ok great...where would one pick up a rail (it's not airsoft is it?)?

Also anyone have any reports of reliability, accuracy and service life?

 

[Deckard]

You have to wait for that, sorry.

 

[Clobbersauras]

You have to wait for that, sorry.

So nobody on CGN has bought one from Lever? Someone out there must have one and has done at least some accuracy testing....

tootall has shot it. It's on Youtube.
