Has one gone through the CFC / RCMP ?

ha ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I believe these have been around for years and there are several in country. The irony is they are very similar to the type 97 which has been confiscated.

 

[Mr.4x4]

That's why I'm hoping all the work is done and it's not a sh!t show like the T97 is causing the person who brought them in.

 

[Clobbersauras]

Interesting. Does anyone know if the scope mount is the same or similar to the type 97?

 

[mrsmitty]

3k for a norinco? Pass if I am paying 3k it better be for US made or swiss quality

 

[firemachine69]

Was hoping it was a forward-eject design.. Doesn't look like it.

Still trying to sell those mounts, eh?

 

[Stevo]

What's the barrel length and OAL?

I have $3000 worth of them sitting in a box ready to go.

There's no market for them, unless I try to sell them to the Airsoft crowd. Which would be a waste of a good piece of 7075 IMO.

So aprx. 25" barrel and 36" OAL, then. Specs in inches would be nice for those of us who don't think in metric.

 

[pbr streetgang]

The price for one of these would have to come in well below 2K to make them a worthwhile purchase. For the same price or less I could rebarrel a Tavor or Kel-tec RFB and have a far better product.

 

[twyeh]

Tell us more about the scope it comes with, what is the average MOA out of this thing?

 

[Ebola]

nice rifle but unusalble for me as i am a southpaw. that and i cant justify 3k+ for a chinese rifle. 3k for a israel tavor sure no problem but not chinese.

i never heard of this business before until this thread was started. but wow i am looking at their website and holy #### these guys are importing some nice interesting stuff.

 

[Deckard]

I still have the southpaw deflector vacuum former I made for the 97s.

 

[Dmitri]

how is it compare to RFB...?
Personally i think RFB is better... but again, i havnt seen the 88..
RFB is lighter, shorter, more advanced design, more powerfull round,and CHEAPPER price... the only advantage i see on 88 is a longer barrel...

Any thoughts on this..?

 

[Bracketman]

3k.. not a chance. I could see this gun selling for $1k under the RFB pricetag.. until then...

BUT they are also rare.. so this has to be taken into consideration
