T97 Gen2 coming to Canada

[Jarvy]

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

It would be a great part if it were available on it's own

The KAC clone sights come standard?

What other dealers have gotten these in?

Same questions!! Anyone know?

^ I don't know, but for the asking price, I would say they have to come with it.

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

Is the charging handle movable from side to side?

Is it reciprocating?

Anyone know this? Won't be able to get to a store to fondle one for a bit.

Yup .. reported on TFB, by Edward.

The Gen 2 demonstrated at the North Sylva dealer show features a flattop rail and ambidextrous magazine release. Also included in this new model is a non-reciprocating side-folding charging handle that can be installed on the left or right side.

Personally I’m still hoping to see one of these in 7.62×39 running off AK pattern magazines.

Actually I'd like to see Type 81 magazines with their last round BHO device. Also move the safety to the grip area.
I guess I will have to wait for the Gen 3 version LOL

-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.

Any updates on this?? better feed ramp??

to me these two feed ramps are the same. my eyes are getting old

It is definitely hard to see, so I am pointing out where it is easiest to notice in my opinion. Compare the reflection spots length and angle.

I should have taken pics with the mag inserted, it was easier to see based on where the mags sat in regards to the feed ramps.

There's a few for sale already. Anyone has a range report on these yet?
