Norinco Type 97 FAQ (small update 01/04/09)

My friend "Bob" had to sell his to a gun wrangler

Bob got a letter saying that the RCMP were going to seize his legaly owned registered firearm. Bob was lucky and sold it to a gun wrangler. I am sorry but this is BS. That is stealing 100%.

Is that a box-fed shotgun underneat?
 
Quick question for all you Type 97 guys who are up-to-date.

I got a comment from "Too Tall Dean" on youtube today that said that Type 97A owners were getting compensation.

Is this true?

If so, is it FULL compensation- taxes, shipping, all the addons you bought, etc!

very very curious

Ive been looking at all the Type 97 threads and didnt see anything about compensation yet.

We don't know yet. Compensation will be paid (I was told full compensation by my MP's assistant). But we're unsure as to how this is going to happen.

Can we infer then that if the MP is giving you information about compensation, that the government/minister has looked into the matter and the non-restricted Type-97 is a dead wish?

Probably. But it should be noted that there is still an FRT # for a non-restricted Type 97. The other two FRT#'s are now prohib class.
 
unless it can easily be turned full auto, why would they go to this trouble?

We'll the non-restricted ones must be different...but who really knows?

If they can turn any gun to full auto- and they can- then they can reclassify any gun to prohibited status.

This statement is almost true, but the RCMP seem to loosely follow the criteria set out in Hasslewander. Though this criteria seems to be very broad.
 
It might but there is a slim hope. They made the ones imported earlier prohib but the ones can am has are still listed in the gov database (frt#) as non restricted. I hope that they don't class them as prohibs as I have one on order and when I get it I will email a pic of me holding next to my bare ass to the libs.
 
Anyoen know whats happening with these?

Lever has one on there wall, its a different action, is semi-auto only as it never had a select fire version so we don't need to worry about it being converted, and is big enough to be non-restricted. Oh, and with 10 round stanags you'd actually be using the proper mag for the gun. This would be a wicked gun out in the bush and I'd buy one as soon as I could.
 
Couldn't Norinco change the design to make them different then the prohibited ones then bring them back in? The RCMP banned them because they were basically converted autos. If they redesigned the action like with AR-15's then we could maybe get them again.

Thats not the problem. According to CanAm they ARE NOT converted autos. CanAM had there own staff at the factory during production to guarantee this.

I will find the post. It may have been in the Politics section.

Is the only difference between the early restricted T97s under confiscation orders right now and Canada Ammos seized 2nd order of non restricted T97s the barrel length?
Is the receiver and internals identical between the two rifles?

I’m just wondering if we will have to go through two court battles if there are differences between the receivers and parts.
 
The ones ordered by canam that are on hold are identical except the guts ie op system ect because they were not made from converted autos. Fingers crossed
