The Type 97 is back . . .

[TRaTSeRiF]

I wonder how the Type-97 will compare to the Tavor? The Tavor is obviously a better built weapon, but it costs about three times as much, so it should be better. I guess the Type-97 is the poor man's Tavor?

Worried about the selector and the mag change speed.. The height of the carry handle and how we can mount optics on it would be a possible issue.

tavor looks 30 times as good as the type 97.

tavor looks 30 times as good as the type 97.

And it is - at only about 2.5x the price (less for a used one).

For those of us on a budget this is a dream come true... I'll bite when they come out!

Now that I've notified you that posting ####ographic material is not allowed on this site, where'd you get the scope mount?

 

[driller212]

I have no idea where he got it. It looks like a legit Chinese optic though..

I already have a scope earmarked for this puppy.. 2-6x magnification, illuminated reticule (unnecessary at my range but nice to have), 8.5" in length.. The Chinese SKS can borrow it temporarily, but eventually, her little sister will be getting it

I think the type 97 is 30 times better looking than the tavor

I'd make that same comparison but the other way around. That being said I am on the pre order list.

Clobb can sell you a nice optics mount for the T97

Would you happen to have a link?

I'm sure he will be posting them up on EE, but I'd like to see a "proof of concept" or at least get anticipatory pricing (no commitment, general WAG)

I think you could solve this problem by shooting him a pm guys.

Lol. Seriously?

 

[Parabelum]

The accuracy of the first batch was MOA with irons so i think they can be a good contender if they keep the same quality.

Took me a bit to realize we were talking about a member. PM sent.
