Several months ago I heard Lever Arms sold more than 250 T97's, but I've not seen it in person.

More like 50, I believe.
CanAm will be bringing in many of them soon.

I still wait my T97 coming.
But if you are in onatrio. i can let you fire my Tavor and do it you comparison.

Thanks for the offer, but I'm pretty much as far west as I can be from Ontario and still be in Canada!

I found this thread looking for a comparison. What I found was infinitely more fun!

Whenever the T97s actually get here I would be delighted to sit down and do a side by side comparison.

It seems evident now that whatever rifle Type97 owners had years ago is not the same as the rifle that people are currently getting excited about.

Thanks for bringing this back from the dead driller212 I appreciate it.

The Type 97 is already out dated. It's got a fixed carry handle! That's a no go for any decent form of check weld with optics.

or . . . OR . . . the T97 is the wave of the future and you're supposed to aim with lasers.

Why bother with cheek weld when you can put a 10Mw monstrosity on there, paint your target and fire from the hip?

To the guy who intimated Norinco firearms are junk I know he is mistaken. I have owned several Norinco guns and they have all been well made, reliable and accurate, even my 93, the inexpensive Colt Woodsman 2 pistol copy will hit 6" plates off a bench at 25 yards, it won't knock them over, but I had a buddy spotting with binocs and he coud see the strikes

There are two types of Norinco owners: those who insist they're not junk, and those who recognize them for what they are.

There are two types of Norinco owners: those who tell anecdotes about their experience, and those who tell anecdotes about their long lost buddies 1MOA zero failure experience.

There are two type of people.
Those that divide people into two neat groups,
and those that dont.

I'm part of the latter group.

 

[TV-PressPass]

Lets be honest, there's only one type of person. And that person is a smart-ass.

Back on topic. Is it true that this infamous Lecter character did some gunsmithing on his T97 before producing the groups we are looking at?

There are two types of people on CGN: those that get to watch the BANHAMMER in action, and those that get to swing away.

I think the purpose of that carry handle is to increase the strength (2nd moment of inertia) of the receiver while keeps the weight low, rather than actually for carrying...
