Someone used the phrase "at the speed of govn't"...indeed. Plus there's the fact that the GSG Stg44 has been in the hands of the RCMP since, what? Early 2012?
Ya, I am not holding my breath on my pre-order for the T97...
 
As of at least today there is an frt for a type 97ns prototype, i believe in the notes it was one that was one submited july 2012 and imported by north sylva. Thats all im going to say though.

Post the number? Or even better a screen shot? Will believe when I see it. Too many false alarms.

Edit: don't worry about.

It is not as of today, it is as of last year, and the classification is "prohibited" (because it falls within the definition of "automatic firearm" in s.84 of the Criminal Code, that is paragraph (c) of the definition of "prohibited firearm"). That is the newest change regarding anything "Type 97" in the FRT... and that all happened last year. Anyone who claims there to be anything new... POST THE SCREEN CAPTURE. Everything else is rumour and bumpf. It's all public folks. There are no "secret" or "private" FRT numbers, allowing for secret Chinese factories to secretly build secret firearms secretly approved by Canadian authorities. If there is no FRT #, there are no firearms. Period.

Some of the dealers are obviously deeply in the dark about how any of this works. The guns won't even be manufactured until a "non-restricted" or "restricted" classification is given, and that has not happened yet. I would strongly suspect that, at this point, nothing is going to happen this YEAR, let alone this month. Back in December, NS put the "Type 97NRS" in their dealer book with an ETA of April 2013. Why they did that, I'm not sure we will ever know, but it certainly wasn't because they received a non-restricted FRT for a prototype, and then put in a big order for these new firearms to be built and delivered in April 2013. Whatever the truth turns out to be, we know for sure that it wasn't that.

This is the FRT for the T97NS Prototype from last year.

While I admire their enthusiasm (customer service too :D), I'd be more inclined to trust ghostie's analysis of the situation. Also, I'm pretty sure the importer (NS) will know before the retailers. Which brings me to my next point.. NS, when's that boat with the 14.5" Norc AR's supposed to port in Vancouver? :D
 
Yes let's see how long it takes for all the naysayers to apologize !!!!! Lets thank North Sylva for taking the initiative and bringing back the Golden Fleece to our market !!!
