Marstar, would you consider bringing in Norinco 97 bullpups?

Would you buy this bullpup from Marstar?

  • Yes! I trust Marstar to bring in this unit at a fair price.

  • Most likely. But I'd appreciate rock bottom pricing. It depends how low the price is.

I don't have any Chinese firearms in my collection out of principle. If you want to pay top dollar for this piece of S**t then you're a fool. You're supporting the Chinese Nationalist Communist Government.

Spend your hard earned dollars ethically. These guys are arms sponsors to those currently shooting at Canadian troops. Think it through before asking for this product (or any other Norinco product). The US has already properly banned all Norinco products and this plastic bullpup falls within that category (IMHO).

Deckard has already flamed me once already for speaking up on this already and I'm prepared for it again. Sometimes gun owners need to stand back and think about who (and what) it is they are supporting with their purchases. This is just a friendly reminder.

OK let the flaming begin.
 
Riflechair,

No flaming by me. :)

However anyone know if Norinco would sell a SINGLE box worth (20 rounds) of 5.8x42mm DAP-87 (their current standard) ammunition. :confused:

Who?
In the early 1980s, the CIA and the ISI (Pakistan's Interservices Intelligence Agency) provided arms to Afghans resisting the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, and the ISI assisted the process of gathering radical Muslims from around the world to fight against the Soviets. Osama Bin Laden was one of the key players in organizing training camps for the foreign Muslim volunteers. The U.S. poured funds and arms into Afghanistan and by 1987, 65,000 tons of U.S.-made weapons and ammunition a year were entering the war.
The Taliban were based in the Helmand, Kandahar and Uruzgan regions, and were overwhelmingly ethnic Pashtuns and predominantly Durrani Pashtuns. They received training and arms from Pakistan, the U.S. as well as other Middle Eastern countries who had been recruited by the U.S. to thwart the Soviet invasion of this region...
 
I am totally disagree with Riflechair. I buy firearms whatever suitable for me. I don't care who makes them. Do we buy German or Italian firearms ? Who started the World Wars ? Do we only buy everything made in Canada ?

Guys, keep the politics out of the firearm forums. They belong in OT, not here.

Thanks.

Quite right.

Back on track, I have played with the 97A a tiny bit, and enjoyed it.
Some say that bullpups are ugly. My opinion, FWIW, is that ugly beats boring any day. I would like to buy a T97A, but being the cheap prick I am, I'm not paying $1450 for it.
If it can be had for $900, I'm all over it!
 
It is well known that they cost $450. If they retail for $899, they still make some coin - about $150,000 given the interest here. As they hit the ranges, even more sales will happen.
 
Shown for research purposes, the long barrel type...

I'm down for either the Carbine, standard, or long barreled version, especially the marksman rifle that has the 10 round magazine standard. Luckily I live in Vancouver so I can get my hands on one through leverarms sometime soon hopefully.
 
For our research...Well we keep hearing about the sniper version. If am pretty sure the sniper rifle is another design altogether from the 95/97A. The long barrel 97A is based on the LMG pattern.

This is the 88...
