"Redesigned" from what I heard.
Just got email this morning from a sponsor taking pre-sale orders for spring 2013 delivery, but no pics etc. yet as far as I've seen.
19" barrel, 5.56, AR mags.
 
A redesign was mentioned.........

I did not know that there was a specific item of the original design that caused it to be classified as prohib.

But if these are already classed as restricted, so be it :)

My plans for a KRISS V might have just been cancelled....



List of know sponsors so far?

SFRC
 
Canada Ammo, Wanstalls and SFRC as far as I know for sure.
Here's the email I got:

From: SFRC-The Ammo Source (South Frontenac Rental)" <sales@theammosource.com>

Yes that's right a redesigned T97 that is non restricted. 19" barrel,
223/556 chambered and it takes AR mags. Only $999

The Type 97NSR is a gas operated, magazine fed, semi- automatic firearm
with a bullpup layout. It has a short stroke gas piston and a rotating
bolt. The charging handle is located at the top of the receiver, under the
carrying handle. Comes standard with open sights.

This is a presale, they should be arriving in April/May 2013.
 
Just got this a few minutes ago.

Chinese quality control in a bullpup design with the round discharging right beside my face. What could possibly go wrong? :p

Neat to see these back in the market, wonder if they'll make it across the border hassle free.

aw c'mon, that's bordering on an urban myth, this fear of bullpups.
The case head is heavily protected. Catastrophic failure like detonation OOB is designed to blow down the magwell and out the ejection port, away from face. It's not like bullpups are unproven designs unless you consider 3 decades to be "unproven".
