Hey Tactical imports, would it be possible to import any of these rifles? If so what could the cost be and when could we expect to receive them? Are you in the process of getting any of these in? I think that many Canadians love Chinese rifle’s especially with their cool factor in the USA. I would easily pay $2000-$4000 for any one of these rifles : )
Any chance of non restricted importation of QCQ-171, QBZ-191 or QWC-05?

I don’t think TI is going to import anything like that at the moment. Maybe keep an eye out on this one instead:
T07 smg-9mm
Last time I heard, this company has submitted this for RCMP to review last year. Months before bill C-21 came in effect.
They really should be importing a non restricted version not a restricted one.
I asked TI for a QBU 88 (since it already has an FRT which makes it infinitely easier to import than the ones you mentioned) and they said no
So I don’t think there’s much chance of these since you’d need an FRT and that’s years away

They should import the QBU-88. It would be the only semi auto bullpup precision rifle in Canada and I’m sure nowadays it would be popular. I mean they did import that $15,000 bullpup 50 BMG and I have no idea how they would have sold any of those. I don’t see why the QBU 88 would not sell. It’s an interesting military rifle, has a cool design and many people would pay $5000 for it. Although I have no clue why it would be that high. $3500 would be more reasonable. Just my two cents. This is not 2011 anymore TI the market has changed.
No need to speculate on price. One sold for 10k in 2021. I’d fork out 5k with a deposit in a heartbeat to get these in.
You do realize that people are selling QBU-88s on the collectors market for $10,000 CAD. Yet you don’t think that TI could sell some for $5000 CAD? They definitely could. They just don’t want to import them.
I was gonna say T191 is a no go but then a souce from Thailand told me Chinese exporter are testing QBZ-195T now, which is QBZ191 that shoots 5.56 and accepts AR15 mags. Can we look into it? I mean the source told me these rifles are pretty badass, out performing some M4s.....
They really should pursue getting some QBZ-191s into Canada even trying to secure the FRT ASAP. I am sure that things will change when Pierre Poilievre comes into power. The QBZ-191 would definitely be a better designed rifle than any Canadian made AR-180 ( I don’t touch them with a 10 foot pole). But the QBZ-191 would have all the military reliability testing behind it. Big win for anyone that chooses to import them. Even at $3000 a piece they would still be 100% worth it.
That looks exciting! Anyone know the translation? I also wonder how the importers contact the various firearms organizations in China.
I wonder why they would make it in Thailand seems strange
This looks super cool.
And shouldn’t cost anything like 3-5k. For those who have never been to Asia: it’s way cheaper to manufacture things there.
Also I have heard all Chinese firearm manufacturing is done by government bodies/employees. Some sort of Chinese gov disagreement be why it’s made in Thailand? Unsure.

They ruined the type 81 by putting a heavy barrel on it. The original imports from 2017 had standard profile barrels and were great. I have no clue why they went to the heavy barrel. I know that the QBZ-191 should be like $1600 max. However if I have to pay a bit more to make it profitable for the importer I would
I always have been a fan of lighter barrel semis so I lean your direction but I actually do like the M version. Pencil barrel is the way to go for sure. I’m in the market for a 5.56 semi auto and nothing tickles my fancy whatsoever at current availability so I’m with you pal, I’m hungry for something new!
Hahaha yeah exactly! All the Canadian made 180s have engineering issues. At least if you get a QBZ-191 you know it was tested and proven. However I am not sure about the process to get them imported. I wish that the importers were more upfront about what is involved in importing these firearms
