Thanks for the pick. We'll just wait for them to arrive, unless someone wants to lone us one to get the mag release going. It looks fairly simple. I don't really see the factory release in those pics.

Lefties Beware!
Been doing some checking... I am broken hearted...
The Norc T97 does not have a convertable ejection port as does the Tavor (it's also less than 1/3 the price). Therefore, us lefties would either be bouncing hot brass off our chins or collecting it down the front of our shirts! Either option is rather unpleasant.
I am going to have to pass on this wonderful opportunity to own a reasonably priced bullpup. My Missus would tear my heart out if I spent $3K on a rifle.
I just purchased a M14S to compensate for my sorrow, but it didn't help much... I wanna bullpup!

We do offer forced correction to right handedness at a Chinese military camp with every purchase.

Can you give us a ballpark idea as to when the pre-ordering process is going to be good-to-go? Not going to miss-out on this one.......

Judging from this weekends shoot at Thompson Mountain, brass will eject and land 8-12 feet 'in front' of the gun. Brass takes a s**t kickin', with the case bent to about 5-10 degree out of plane (at the center of the cartridge) by the ejection process. You ain't reloadin' this stuff...
also, as a post shoot note, speed reloading sucks with this mag well...massive amounts of dry fire reloading, or a faired mag well are required...added almost 50 sec's to a stage time I shot with the Cx4..

OK, looks simple to add a ambi-catch. Has anyone tried? I noticed a pic above with one next to the catch.

It spits mine out to 1 o'clock at about 5 yards...brass looks like this:
To me it just adds to the charm of the rifle

The norgon one is too short...the one above is with the norgon release sitting overtop of the 97...you can see how the norgon release is much shorter than the 97 one is. RobAK mentioned he was working on a solution but I haven't seen any follow up posts.
Edit: I think the main problem is removing the stock 97 release...it's staked in there and short of getting out the drill, how the hell would you get it out of there? The manual doesn't show how to do it.

So the mag button is that bolt head?

If I get what you are asking kinda yes...the following pics show it a little better... the button is fairly long and looks like it is threaded onto the bolt and then staked in...sorry again a lot of lint from the rag...
