    Don't think we could get these tactical-cool rifles coming in with current stupid law...
    Also, considering how small Canadian market is, it is unlikely that the manufacturer in China would specifically made civilian version of these rifles for Canada only...

    Because Thailand wants to ensure their military is not reliant on the support of a foreign entity?

    Norinco had no issues with making 1000s of type 97s and Type 81s for the Canadian market so I really don’t understand why they would not try to make a few bucks selling a civilian model of the QBZ-191 here. There is only a track record of success for China in the Canadian firearms market.

    Last time I heard, this company has submitted this for RCMP to review last year. Months before bill C-21 came in effect.

    BTW, the manufacture SDM, it is the most famous small arms factory in China. It is the first factory making type 56 Semi or SKS for PLA.

    Type 56 with factory mark 296 is made by them.

    OC & Scale effect.
    The scale of Canadian market is just too small to make whole assembly line solely producing these Canadian specific model, when comparing with other business they have elsewhere.

    Have you tried the IWI X95? It looks funny but I wouldn’t discount it without running a few mags thru one. Awesome super short NR platform.

    I did actually, but it just wasn't for me. Not saying it's bad, but I prefer traditional layout. Those who like them do like them however and that's really driving a great community for that platform which is cool.

    People who say that don't seem to know a lot about the import of goods into Canada. I'm not saying that's the case with you, but Canada has this for tens of thousand of goods across the country many of which are actually made specifically for the Canadian market not to mention Quebec.

    I discount nothing. The original T97 rifles were literally redesigned exclusively for us. The T-81 has been redesigned exclusively for us. Many other firearms such as the CZ offerings we had and have, Skorp Evo, 858 etc even Wolverine had a special version of the 858 built just for Canada at one time.

    You discount the actual purchasing power of being able to markup the product to an EXTREME premium for insanely low effort. Many many firearms companies continue to do this here and other places around the globe. There is also the prestige of selling in the North American market, which is a factor in scaling and offering the product to other places. If it's successful here, it's often good to go for Europe, the Philippines etc. Selling 5k rifles in Canada is actually a big deal for many firearms companies as that covers the extremely limited R and D needed to create a rifle to our spec which is then easily offered all over.

    The T97 version we have is showing up in other countries, the CZ offering became the Skorp Evo Carbine, all that good stuff.

I think that many Canadians love Chinese rifle’s especially with their cool factor in the USA. I would easily pay $2000-$4000 for any one of these rifles : )
    Tactical imports is only interested in crooked Chinese guns that they probably pay $300-400 a unit for
