Circumstances are forcing me to be honest with you and, finally, myself.
This is a "Not ready for Prime Time" firearm. I'm constantly trying a new tweak (that I've learned from far more knowledgeable people than myself on CGN) and consistently being disappointed by this thousand dollar mistake.
I'm one of those guys that has insisted that I didn't make a mistake by jumping on the purchase as soon (and by that I mean my phone rang the day it showed up at the gunshop) as it was available and I still desperately want that to be true.
I'm going to have one more go at massaging my LAR mags a little more, since I've already done my level headed best with the feed ramps. After that, if it's still the "Jammo-matic" it's turned out to be, I'm going to screw a paddle to the blade and use it as the oar it is best suited to be.
Hell, I haven't even gotten around to checking for the infamous gouge. This little gun that should has much bigger issues...
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I don't even care if you flame me for being an ignorant, ham-fisted clod, as long as there's a kernel of valuable knowledge I can take to the bench.

It is so refreshing to hear honesty. :)
 
Meh, sorry to hear people are having issues. Mine feeds flawlessly with lar15 mags, and gen 2 pmags (a light filing of the spine was needed for the non-windowed ones). Great accuracy, no issues. Very happy. It's like the m4gery and the m305, some #####, mine were perfect, no fixes needed. With all the talk, you'd think they all had issues. Not the case here.

Well, their work pool just got a little bigger. PRC just announced that couples are now allowed to have 2 children (as long as the parents were only children..)

Oh and I voted a big---> NO.

There you go. People like cheap sh#t. Performance is secondary. Number one priority is price number two priority is how cool it looks and the least important priority is how well it functions.

Look around your house, your office where ever. I bet almost every thing you see is "cheap chinese crap" Even the computer you are typing on, the monitor you are looking at, your modem, your router, the furniture you are sitting on, your TV, DVD player, audio system, your digital camera, your home alarm system, or your smart/cell phone, your power tools, are virtually all made from Chinese components, and assembled in China or somewhere in Asia. With out cheap, decent quality stuff from china that we use everyday, we would be living with the same American crap we had in the 1970's, if we could afford to buy it.

The lure of affordable products has made it what it is today. Unfortunately the lure of easy credit from china has made governments bloated and fat with chinese borrowed money.

I am a T97 owner. My T97 sits in my safe next to my NP-34. I am not ashamed to have Chinese firearms, they are inexpensive. I would prefer having a Tavor and a Sig P228 instead, but I'm not rolling in dough. If you can afford to be snobbish about guns, kudos to you, but unless you are willing to sell me a Tavor and a Sig for the total amount I spent, don't push that snobbishness on me. I see no reason to bash someone else for their choices in firearms, at least they are gun owners, and helping raise the stats on firearms ownership in Canada.
 
Well people were raving them before they owned them, now that they've owned them and fired them, not much raving going on anymore.
I bought one because I was tired of loaning my tel aviv super model out. So my t97 still hasn't been fired yet, its waiting for my dumb friends to shoot it, and frankly I'm personally in no rush to shoot it, I'm really not a fan of anything Chinese from food to women with firearms in between... I have other rifles that I'm enjoying right now.
