The T97 Thread!
- Thread starter Clobbersauras
- Start date
so my friend just bought one of these and we went out today to have a little fun with it.
my first thoughts:
- it's heavier than I was expecting.
- it's louder than i expected
- the kickback was less than i expected.
I really liked how compact it was and we were using it with the sights that it came with.
we were shooting canadian surplus .223 ammo and we found it was denting one side of the case a bit. there were also brass filings inside where it ejects the rounds from. upon inspection the roughing looked to be coming from where the extractor pulls the spent case out from. There was scuffing evident on the spent rounds on the ground. has anyone else experienced this?
over all a really fun gun. makes me want one too!

How did u attach the t-pod?
Why use 5 when u can enjoy beowulf mags?
HepatitisJ, I cut down a picatinny rail (used the one that came with my ruger 10/22 as it is very thin) and cut it short enough to slide the T-pod on from the trigger guard side. I just drilled straight through the hand guard to bolt the rail in place.
For certain games like the FQT Black Gun shoots and CQB, 5/30 mags make more sense.
I had the pleasure of shooting the t97 on the weekend. Very first shot I got nailed on my chin with brass (lefty). Oops forgot all about the bullpup issue. Sliding my face back works but then it feels in un natural.
I thought the SKS launches brass....at least it's consistent in where it shoots it, it's all in a 3' by 3' area 30 feet away....
The recoil pulse is weird. It's a very long and gentle push compared to other 223 that punch you abruptly.
Friends t97 had the issue of pushing the bullet in the case but only with one lar mag. Sure enough that mag sat lower in the magwell than the rest. I told him what the solution was, he's not a CGN member
As of now I'm on the fence. Honestly I prefer my su16 more. It's much lighter, optics are easier to mount and I don't get punched in the face with brass.

I wish there are more of them here so more T97 owners can have better options for mounting accessories.
