The Type 97 is back . . .

Wow, look at the solid cheek weld when using an optic mounted atop the iron sights. Oh, and the mechanical offset seems minimal..

More of a chin weld.

What's up with the trigger discipline in this photo?

They look like a bunch of death-slave working camps guards.
What a shame.

The same thing that's up with the trigger discipline in photos with half-naked chicks posing with guns... Gets sacrificed for artistic effect.. But that dog sure looks friendly

 

[Throttle_monkey1]

Lol. Seriously?

Yup. The only guns uglier than the tavor are the FS2000 and the PS90.

I think that dog is lunch.

Some muzzle up, some down. Fingers on triggers, thigh rigs far too low to be effective. Untied boots, some chin straps oddly adjusted, hannibal the dog is cool and it appears the guy kneeling has a sub gun variant... Interesting.

TI hinted a while back about working on bringing in the Bullpup sub

I think the type 97 is 30 times better looking than the tavor

Not sure about 30 times uglier but the tavor is ugly. The type 97 is slightly less ugly to me. Tavor looks like the type 97s frumpy sister.

Although I do agree that bullpups in general are aesthetically unpleasing. Can someone explain how looks improves performance or reliability??? That's what I thought.

I agree 100%. I was just mentioning what I find pleases my eye or what doesn't please my eye. If I was talking performance I would go with my Noveske or my LMT.

It looks like the one time i went paintballing. Sub the dog out for the one girlfriend who comes along and is grumpy the whole time.

I never had problems with cheek weld on mine. But I had a proper scope mount and ran an H1 Micro.

Any idea how can we - the mere mortals get our grubby little fingers on one of those and at what cost?

 

[driller212]

I have been trying to find the ris rail that mounts on the foregrip with little to no luck. It seems china does make them so it should just be a matter of finding out who does, and importing them. Hopefully someone will.

I have a bunch sitting in a box in the back of my closet. I may throw them up on the EE if and when the new T97's actually make it into the country. I won't be selling them before then. I went down that road three years ago and got burned.....

 

[bjhill]

I have one and it was of excellent workmanship and design.I hope the guns overcome the law enforcement bias they have come up against and are put on sale in canada.You will sell them all.

 

[Crack Feather]

I hate bullpups but this is the only one I have shot that I actually liked and would enjoy owning.

For anyone thinking mounting of optics will result in cheek weld problems, would a cheek riser be possible and be an adequate solution?
