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

Let's talk optics.

I am thinking about a 3-9x42 illuminated reticle scope. Allows for Service Rifle at 4 power. Anyone know which rings to get considering the ears of the carrying handle?

Any rings you want will work fine..but any rail designed for the 97 will have to stick up above the "ears" as there is not enough room between the sides of the "ears" and a pic rail to mount rings....take a look at rail pics on my thread and you'll see what I mean.

So....whats the bayonet mount on this thing, AR style or custom?

Let's talk optics.

The type 97 needs a very low mount optic so that you still get a half way comfortable cheek weld....that's why I went with an aimpoint micro...the non-restricted may benefit from higher magnification...but out to 200 yards you really don't need any magnification.

Here's a pic for deckard so he can see what I was talking about about "ear" width vs mounting a picatinny rail

Michaelsabre..
where did you get the scope? lever arms? I want one of those chinese scopes for the T97

 

[michaelsabre]

Lever arms. CanAm will provide aftermarket rail but I want a original scope.

Now I have a scope without a gun!

So it is yours...impressions? What it the batery compartment and switch for? Want to lend it to me until you get your rifle?

hows the quality of the glass and does the recticle turn white or red when switched on... $300 plus at lever?

The quality is good. Anyhow you don't need super glass for a 3x scope.

The recticle tunes light green, very nice.

I am still trying to figure out how PLA uses this scope. The scope has QD mount and comes with a nice leather bag. Looks like they put it on before aiming it. Makes no sense to me.

I know that they make M9 type bayonets, so perhaps it is.

I haven't been following up to much on this rifle lately, As Im impatiently awaiting the Krink type VZ58's and Russian SKS's,

Were these ever chambered for 7.62X39?

 

[greentips]

The scope looks like it was dug out from the cold war storage from the 60's!

Exactly

 

[KK1]

Is this the model thats coming in?

Any word on the trigger guard type?

While the regular trigger guard gives the rifle cleaner lines, I think it makes the front look like a weird Uzi.

I like the built in vertical grip personally.
I don't really care about distinguishing it from the restricted. With non-restricted black rifles I always make sure I have the documentation with me showing that it is a non restricted firearm.

Any word on the trigger guard type?

Word from CanAm on the other thread was that it will be the regular trigger guard, not the vertical grip-type. Oh well.........

 

[Epoxy7]

I just saw that. That's too bad.
Not a deal breaker though. I wonder if we'll be able to get replacement parts so we change it?

 

[Deckard]

I would think that would be a logical accessory. We know others are in the works.

 

[Leonidas]

The regular trigger guard is better IMO. The other one makes it look too much like something from "Doctor Who".
