Milsurps / Prohib Norinco QBZ-95/97 Appreciation Post

Post image

Howdy folks!

The Texan is back with yet another gun appreciation post.

Today, we got the Type 97, which for a while was actually popular in Canada, and yes in this one, I did include THE Canadian Flat Top version that was available. I don’t know if you can get them anymore, but these things are actually pretty cool in my opinion.

I know some people will say:

“It’s Chineseum and it sucks!”

I know, still over here in the US I wish we could buy them, but unfortunately we cannot due to how Norinco was banned from importing rifles into the United States, and now we can only get Norinco Shotguns in here. In particular the Hawk Industries Hawk 97/982, which is better known as the H&R 1871 Pardner Pump and Blue Line Solutions BL-18

Anyways if y’all have experience with the Type 97, let me know about it!

Enjoy!

Gun is good was forced to buy all 4 iterations. If you're a lefty, as they say in Chinese go adapt. Never jammed on me once, sent cases flying to the shadow realm. 1.5 moa rifle.

Accurate description. Last time I shot (still need to upload the video) it went 120 rounds in 5 minutes with no issues… except the barrel melted the case when I put it down 😂
