Awesome! I'm most interested in if there's any internal changes to enhance reliability!

-KAC clone 300m and M4 micro sights. Not to shabby either.
-keymod is chamfered.
-feed ramp looks improved, second feed ramp pic is an old T97.
-amdi mag release is a god send.
-still mag picky.
-still the same old crap safety.

Those are decent updates.

Well crap. Now I need a third T97...

Is the charging handle movable from side to side?

Is it reciprocating?

 

[Redblack]

I may be tempted at $999 not so much at 1199

Yeah I'm not sure why a factory Chinese one is $100 more than one with an aftermarket Canadian made upper....

 

[xdmer]

Ditto for both.

Weren't the original carry handle T97s $999 back 3 years ago?
Not my thing, but $200 more for the FTU, Keymod ( if they work!) and ambi safety sounds fair. Yea or nay?

Or did I get the price wrong?

 

[PinaKaleada]

Can someone tell me what the difference are with the feed ramp?

 

[D3vin]

Hope for the best, expecting the worst. I really want to give this a chance but my last t97 was a huge pile is every sense.

Looks more open.

I'm going to give it a second chance. Everything is happier with things wide open.

Doesn't really matter what someone tried to sell one for 3 years ago.

$1100 for FTU ones and $760 for carry handle ones I've seen.

So $440 for the Chinese upper apparently.

Not the same old feed ramp. It is a longer slope that starts lower by a couple mm. Hard to notice in my pics though.

Thank you onetwentyish for your pictures. I was a fan of the 5.8mm version but I have to say that the 223 nsr conversion created a longer than usual action with such a hight rate of mag / feed issues which ruined this rifle.
Either way, only my 2 cents, Gonna give it the benefit of doubt.

Nice ambi mag release! I wonder if they can see the part....
