The stock folding sight is nothing to write home about, but you just add better aftermarket one, or a scope, or a red dot. I assume in the States, if the mags are not pinned, they also accept 30 rounds or even 40 rounds pmags. The main thing is the reliability and compactness (29.8 inch), about 8.6 lbs. If you clean it, it will actually last a long time. Because it's heavy, you barely felt the recoil, and trigger isn't that bad imo.

You should mention this gun is (somewhat) popular in Canada because of the current gun laws. Not to get into politics but to make is simple in Canada AR and AK variants (among many others in a long list) are subject to tighter regulations requiring registration and restricting use to certified ranges. Ergo weapons like this that are not on the list of doom, and can be classified as "non-restricted", do not need paperwork to own, buy or sell and can be used for hunting and back country shooting (yea we can't hunt with ARs here). Other good examples of this is the SKS, Tavors and the VZ58, which are also non-restricted and very popular here... we like having "for fun guns" too in Soviet Canuckistan haha. I'm sure you know but I think it's important to mention as to understand why the gun gained some traction here where as in the USA there are more alternatives in AR and AK platforms.

[@elijahaitaok8624]

Having owned the FTU version, the gun is quite solid and the metal components are quite strong. Despite the squishy trigger, it has good accuracy. I actually find the trigger easier on my finger than my stock Tavor. the biggest issue with this gun is that it is hard on brass and if you can find it afterwards it all has a big dent in it. So not good for reloading. It's brass flinging is like a close in defense weapon and similar to the AGB42b

[@petershen7949]

Norinco really did their export version dirty. It's one of the worst, most rattly rechambers I've ever laid my hands on. I'm not saying the domestic version is great, but it seems like Norinco really doesn't care about their export market. I guess they're making money, so they don't see any reason to fix it. As for the actual service rifle: has a little more kick. The cartridge, in my opinion, has superior performance compared to 5.56 NATO. Of course, depends on who makes it and what variant it is. The ergonomics are the same old suck. At least it's not an L85A1.

On the other hand dude, its reliability is amazing, it can work smoothly anywhere from Siberia to the Xinjiang desert and South China sea's humid island, rarely gets stuck. Even better than AKs.

I actually am very lucky enough to get my hands on a 95-1-600, 3 power illuminated optic, which is the Chinese military optic developed for 95-1 rifles. It fits right onto my type 97, and it makes aiming much easier comparing to its original iron sights. The only down side is that the reticle was developed for 5.8mm cartridge so I can only shoot it accurately at the distance of my zero.

[@ezioauditoredafirenze9075]

Im from China and i was using QBZ-95, its actually a good weapon in military use. For example turning a corner or inside a vehicle. Because of its short total length its much more convenient than AK or AR system, when they all have the same length of barrels. and maybe you can look up for some attachments for picatinny rail, there are lots of them in Canada, i guess. how do you think of these bullpup rifles? FAMAS, QBZ, AUG, X95, etc. besides im a super fan of bullpups haha

The trigger, mag release, bolt, and safety were all improved with newer versions. As well the carrying handle was removed and replaced with a picatinny rail, and the iron sights were redesigned. Of course the new improved version is now a similar price to most AR15s, around $1200. The older version isn't produced at all, so unless you're buying it used, say goodbye to the awkward but like $400 cheaper version of this gun.

that thing has a substantial amount of muzzle climb for a 5.56.. I'm guessing the thing is made with so much plastic that it doesn't have enough weight to dampen the bolt's inertia. I had a bullpup conversion for an SKS which, while firing 7.62x39 had much less obvious recoil.

[@truly-oni3945]

Link to bullpup conversion? Preferably left handed if you know where.

[@High_Caliber]

Add an FTU to these and a good red dot and you can acquire your target much better, also a bottom metal chassis is available, which improves the trigger...somewhat. I would describe shooting one of these like shooting a really beat up/worn tavor.

Got the FTU and the lower, which make the ergonomics way better (safety switch near thumb), and with scope or red dot, mine shoots quite nicely... and it fits most LAR magazines ;-)

Tools don't kill, the person operating/using a tool kills and we don't talk about restricting car ownership despite the fact that cars are deadly weapons, too :( )

[@Beretta249]

Mass shooters who stop to reload get taken alive; sometimes by the folks they were shooting at. It's a real difference. As for cars, oh absolutely. I totally use my MAK90 to deliver groceries, to transport building debris, and to just generally travel. I'm thinking about getting a larger magazine so it seats a couple more people. I could do more materials delivery if I had a 60 round banana mag. Problem is not having a diesel engine; tow capacity's an issue. Commercial freight volumes of fire takes commercial freight barrel weight. Oh wait those are totally different things. lol. Who'd be stupid enough to think they're at all similar?

[@cougar2k720]

Mainly due to the mass shooting happen in 1989, where they introduced magazine limit afterward for 5 round rifle centerfire and 10 round handgun magazine. The problem with firearm is that, THERE will always be death from firearm, and firearm make it easier with multiple victims. That doesn't change, the only solace is that normal people don't go around shooting other people, and those that did, they already got taken care of. The Toronto van attack in Canada is an example that vehicle can be used as one too, that's why they have lots of those steel pylons now to prevent it, but it's a rare occurrence. Vice versa, if you take away the gang violence, homicide cause by firearm is pretty rare, most firearm death comes from suicide.

[@cougar2k720]

@@pepebeezon772 most of the Canadians don't have PAL, they don't even know about the 5 round limits for centerfire rifles and 10 rounds for handgun. Many Canadians don't event know they can own firearms. That itself is an issue, since the government can just propose silly bans and propose to voters like the government is doing something. The main difference is the firearm culture in Canada and the States, people have to take course in order to apply for firearm licence where basic storage law, handling of firearm, and firearm safety is drilled into you (at least when you do the course) then you have to do a sort of background check to get it. This itself eliminate most of the people who shouldn't have firearm in the first place. Though we don't born with the right to get one, but we get it like a driving licence (to some degree). Can you remove the pin? Sure, can you shoot it sure, you just have to do it very discreetly on some crown land so no one know any better. But most of firearm owners are responsible, and they are trying to follow the laws properly so we wouldn't get hit by weird ones. We don't have that many mass shooting in Canada, it's not perfect, but it's something. Would it work if we have American style of firearm culture? Probably not, since most Canadians are neutral and anti gun, and when it comes to democracy, if majority want to elect a government that restrict them or ban them, there isn't much that we can do.

[@bodhranlowd]

I enjoy fine modern guns, I own Swiss made PE90 rifles (not the US made imitations) , also the newer Swiss B&T APC family of semi auto rifles, as well as decent ARs (LMT MRP, KAC), VZ58s. And bullpups like Israeli IWI. All that being said, I have handled and fired the Canucks T97 before and hit well at 300 yards. I doubt the imaginary opponent down range will be any less dead when shot at by this gun compared with my more refined/expensive guns, despite all the comments here from gun connoisseurs. However, I must say the Canucks version is a butchered job, the original military QBZ version with its original calibre and AK style mags is a much better gun, and the -1 improved version is even better. Additionally, the Canadian civilian gun crowd has some genuinely great after market enhancements for this gun. Both the replacement upper rail and replacement lower hand guard are big steps up.
