T97 Gen 2's?

Any word on whether or not they fixed the magwell/feedramp issues of the t97?

I could deal with awkward ergonomics, but not a gun that doesnt work. Not fitting mags it is supposed to be designed for and stovepiping rounds hard enough to push the bullet back in/having gunpowder come out was not acceptable to me. Unfortunate since I liked shooting it when it worked, and thought it was a decent design once I put an FTU on it.
 
Gen 2 not worth it.

I got a great deal on a T97 a year ago - $775 shipped, no tax (on EE) :dancingbanana: and added an FTU. I would never sell it for the Gen 2. There's not enough improvement. However, mine did have the tightest magwell; it only accepted the Norinco mag and barely fit the LAR. Certainly not a drop free.

Here's mine:

Here's what I did with a dremel:
