We demo'd this rifle with a Meprolight M21 reflex sight at the CSAAA Industry Range Day event on Monday June 5th in Ottawa with our dealers and we received plenty of positive feedback!

We need a replacement lower that is the same but has a built in thumb safety! Thats the reason I do not and will not own any T97 until it has been fixed

Also: please consider a x39 model with a VZ mag well. This would get us closer to the QBZ-95 design. And make this a viable hunting platform! :)

The T97.ca Lower Hand Guard does that. But it also costs $400 bringing the rifle to $1700. Not exacly a cheap plinker anymore.
 
Gen 1 was okay, nice entry, Gen 2 was an improvement but not quite there, early adopter on both and paid far too much. I'm sure that Gen 3 is where it's at, fingers crossed =)

Did they improve the mag well at all? I heard it was hard to insert/remove basically anything not a USGI style mag.

Not that I've seen, the "sample" that we got did not accept certain aftermarket magazines. I say "sample" because we happened to receive serial #2 which now belongs to an employee, which may have been somewhat of a prototype.

On another note, if you've been looking for a set of KAC iron sights, this rifle is a good buy. It happens to come with an arguably exact copy of KAC flip up sights standard, I was impressed, very positive feel. The rifle itself is awesome, the rail is very well made.

I have one of the early first generations and it runs perfectly with the right magazines. I use the 10 round LAR mags and it is as reliable as any rifle I've used.

It won't take all STANAG mags and some mags will cause a nose down failure to feed. Find mags that work well and use them exclusively.

Great gun
 
So when do we get the new model 97-1 with the better plastic & safety that's close to the trigger guard rather than all the way hiding in the back?
