    Under a grand would be reasonable.
    I paid more than a grand for my pre-order G1. Gonna pay to play bullpub.

    Apparently the magwell is unchanged. So I doubt it.

    The Gen1 was over $1000 in most places until recently. Some people have well over $1500 into theirs with the FTU and LHG.

    Gen1 recently dropped in price, probably in anticipation of this coming out and nobody wanting the G1 anymore so they cleared them out cheap. Compared to the Gen1 before the price dropped, its more like $300 more not twice the price.

    You might be waiting a long time. Like, forever kinda long time potentially...


    Any word on whether the feed ramp was fixed on this model? I've been itching for a T97 for a while but I have really bad luck with this sort of thing, and don't want to take a $1000 gamble (or even an $800 gamble) on whether I get one that feeds or not.

    Current price is current price; that's it. The Gen1 price dropped to 7xx, slightly more than 1/2 of current price of G2 $1310.
    Playing the before the price drop game is same as trying to buy/sell stock at yesterday's price, NO NO.

    When the first batch CQ-A1 rifles came in, they were around $950. Overtime the market balanced the prices to the correct 600-700 range.
    Knowing that the T97 gen1 goes for 7xx range now. You know how much of a markup Norinco products can go for.
    It will be a matter of time these will come down to its correct market value, which will be under $1000.

    Hopefully these dont plague of the same QC issues of the gen1s.
