Marstar, would you consider bringing in Norinco 97 bullpups?

[Polyshot]

the chinese converted mp5 mags for the 9mm

Huh??

 

[Cartman]

FRT# for this Type 97?

Hi Guys,

Does anyone know the FRT# for this nice toy?

Thanks,

Cartman.....

 

[Longshot]

these guns are also made in 9mm besides 5.56. I saw them today, wasn't all that impressed. the chinese converted mp5 mags for the 9mm and made m16 mags for the 5.56. Their m16 mags are nice. They don't convert over for left hand shooters----you shoot right handed or nothing. These cal's are not factory-----they both have to be converted from the chi-com issue cal.

Not quite.There is a 9mm that is similar but not the same.The mags are not MP5 mags but similar.Made specifically for that gun.They look like pretty good quality.Ours worked perfectly.

Then why would they not make them unrestricted!

Sooooooooo, I imagine you guys ordered a bunch for movie use and Lever piggybacked your order........which means more could theoretically be brought in, if they were special ordered far enough in advance.

Huh I thought that was what airsoft was for.

Longshot works for (or maybe owns?) a company that does movie/tv rentals of real guns and has occasonally posted pics and such of some of the super cool toys they get.

Well it's too bad. If we ever got these rifles in cheap enough I had a little project in mind.

I'd love to get a non-restricted and have it redone in .204 . I think that would kick A@@. But at the current prices. No thanks. There are too many good alternatives out there. Frankly the mini14 Target model would be a better buy. Or for around the same price a Stag AR.

At the thousand mark and less, I'd buy one. Once you're over that, it's not financially competitive.

I'm not cheap!!! I'm careful

 

[suprathepeg]

How come john hasn't chimed in on this in a while?

 

[PeteL]

John, were practically begging you here, throw us a bone! Take our money!

There are 500 folks here that agree. I want it cheap because I shoot left and will attempt a mod to make it so. Experimenting at $1500 is a non starter for me however.

 

[johnone]

OK, OK ALREADY;

How many of you would buy a non-restricted M-97 in .223 for around $800. ?

John

 

[Doc911]

I'm in

 

[tootall]

Yes.

 

[springfield armoury]

I'm on that like a crack addict on crack.

 

[Epoxy7]

Yup. I'd buy one. I'm in. Maybe for 2 if I really like the first one.

 

[suprathepeg]

I would deffinately consider it at that price but I would wait till enough had bought and see what they have to say about it first. If it were between $600-$700 I would probably jump like a bunny on crack.

 

[suprathepeg]

I'd buy if it were in 7.62x39 at that price for sure, but I don't think it is a viable option.

 

[Deckard]

Importers should not ignore the restricted compact version as well.

Price is King.

 

[Memnoch]

I agree with the others 600 - 700$ would be like throwing fire into a can of gas.

just my opinion.
