Two reviews of Type-97 (QBZ-95) from Canada where it become legal to purchase again. More videos of it in youtube.

Non-Restricted Bullpup in 5.56x45mm (.223). Uses AR type magazines, piston action. Made in China. There are some huge fails in the ergonomics and layout of this rifle but a few hits as well. Watch to find out.

A first look at my T97NSR, a quick tear down and re-assembly.
The T97NSR just hit the Canadian market, it's a non-restricted 5.56 NATO bullpup rifle.

Nice, but I would prefer the original Type 97 with the 5.80 round instead of the NATO standard 5.56 round.

that would be type 95.
looks like the Trigger needs work and I would really like to see features form the QBZ95G like the improved safety, and it sounds like the Chinese might want to switch to checkering or Stippling on the pistol grip and forearm, changing mag release the Still would like to see rails and deletion of or modification to the Carry handle.

Review from a gun blog, many Canadian shooters say that sights and ergonomics need more work.

Had a range session with another buddy that has a T97, and we’re back with some feedback:

-The iron sights suck. I don’t mind peep sights, but these are not round, small, and I found my eyes straining quickly. It grouped alright close in, but at 100 yards I was all over the place. I’ll take the blame on this one.

-Adjusting the sights for height is easy due to the included height adjustment tool, but adjusting for windage is much more difficult, because you have to drift the front sight pin over.

-Even with a low profile red dot on the accessory rail, a cheek rest of some kind is required unless you’re happy with a “chin weld”. I’m not.

-Due to the short overall length, the end of the barrel will rest well inside of many covered shooting positions and makes this rifle sound pretty loud and mean.

-The magwell is not well enough relieved from the factory. I gave my magwell a bit of a bevel, while my other buddy did not. It was much more touchy to seat a magazine in his rifle than mine.

-I experienced 1 failure in 100 rounds; a round that hit the breech nose first and collapsed the bullet inside the case (and sprayed unfired gunpowder everywhere). I may polish my feedramp as a precautionary measure.

-Don’t bother with a front bipod. Most of the weight is on the rear right hand and the front is easily stabilized by your left hand. Fired prone, the rifle is very steady and fired offhand, it’s better than non-bullpups.

-On a sling, the rifle is amazing. It’s compact, the flat sides make for easy carry, and the sling points allow for a ton of different carry options. That all said, good luck finding a 3/4″ sling.
The trigger is alright! It’s long, but light and clean.

Conclusion.
Ultra reliable, decent build quality, extremely compact, ugly like a glock, awful ergonomics, needs better optics options, incredible price.

Nice to see that it is unbanned. I wonder if the government will receive complain from the previous owners that have the gun taken away from them
