It's second gen. The top row is not M-LOK, it's just air flow ports.

Sorry my bad...should have looked closer..lol
Are there any notable differences between the gen 2 and gen 3?
I have seen bunch of videos comparing the gen 1 and gen 2, but wasn't able to find anything on the gen 2 vs gen 3.

Have all 3, as far as I can tell, just the accessory side rail attachment method. People call it the third gen but realistically that is incorrect, it's just a 2nd gen in a different attachment method.

Thank you again.
When you take off the bottom handguard with the trigger, is there a trick to putting it back in a proper way, so it correctly hooks up to the trigger pull bar?

I'm hesitant to take it off, because in all the T97 videos I seen to date, I only seen it being taken off, but not installed back on.

I'm thinking that when you have a rather flexible strip of metal with a cutout notch to which the trigger is supposed to connect, there is a possibility that it may not couple properly during re-instalation and there is no way to visually verify that it is actually properly seated in there once the handguard is back on.

Em I missing something here, or is it designed in such way that there is no way it can miss-allign itself?

It's been a while since I took one off but if I remember correctly there's nothing really special to it other than that can be a little fiddly. Just don't force anything and you won't wreck anything. When you think you got it back together do a function test and see if it properly fires and resets and feels as it should. If it doesn't then try again.

I'm assuming that part does not come off too often then?
I'm not so much concerned about wrecking anything, I'm nore concerned about the pull bar being only half way in the notch type of a deal, where it might appear to function for the time being, but might jump out at any given point since there is no way to visually confirm that it is indeed securely latched on (assuming there is no audible type of "click" either).

I would draw a lose analogy with hooking up a trailer to your hitch without visually verifying, that the ball is seated properly, only to find out that it wasn't at the first corner or a traffic light...lol

No, it's pretty easy. Just may have to wiggle it a little bit, but you will know when it clicks in.

Regardless, always do a trigger function check after reassembling any firearm.

remember, this was designed for soldiers in all sorts of conditions, they cant be fiddling too long when bullets are flying.

line up the cross pin in the lower about 1/2" in front of the seat that is attached to gas block with the back of the lower tilted down, spread the back of lower apart and move up to about 1/2" from the horizontal line then slide back the lower. move up the back of lower up one more time and insert the crosspin. check trigger works. simple, just need practice.

Thanks for all the replies.
It is a bit of a learning curve with the T97 for a life long 7.62x39 platform guy... :)

Is there any general concensus, as far as what brand/type/grain of ammo is the preffered, most reliable choice with the T97?

What I would like is to make or modify the lower to add a guard in front of the pistol grip and a pic rail to add a fore grip, give it a bit of a Steyr/TAR 21 look.

Adding a vertical grip is pretty easy, I've done it. Just buy an M-LOK grip module, mold the mating surface with a dremel to fit on the handguard, drill holes for M-LOK screw(s), and you're done.

As far as Knuckle guard - I can't think of a good way of doing it.
 
Looked everywhere for an extended charging handle for the T97 Gen 3 and couldn't find any. So I decided to make one myself from scratch. Made of Polyamide and test fitted with over 100 prototypes. Now it clears optics mounts and is low still low profile enough for sling work.
