RS T97 is home :-)

Just got an email stating that it has been put back into the GLS system and I should be receiving it this week! Here's hoping!

Without going too far off topic, I'm seeing the attempts to scam the elderly going through the roof, so much so that I've had to convince my inlaws & a few friends/neighbors to change numbers & go ex directory, some were getting dozens of calls everyday trying to con or intimidate them, & not all originate overseas.

what a lovely world we live in ?

Absolutely. They are pretty brazen about it as well. The "Company" dropped leaflets around every house and its the same company that tried to scam her. They did all the work, then brought in heavies to demand 4 times the quoted price and took her to the bank to withdraw the money. She shopped them to the bank teller and the police were called. The scammers scarpered quite quickly. So now she is on a hit list. :(

I find that the majority of these scams are from English people as well. It's a sad sad thing.

When they get caught what's the worst can happen, slap on the wrist or a brief "hotel" stay, where they want for nothing & get to catch up with old friends ?

Thank god god the old girl still has her wits about her .

 
Looking forward to seeing what you think of the full size type 97.

Can't fault mine at all.

So it's now home amongst its other expensive bullpup brethren.

Fit and finish is much better then the T97B. None of the trigger bar issues that I had with the B. Currently firing at 300 fps very consistant so will likely have to change the spring out for a stronger one. It seems lighter then the B model due to its weight being spread, less battery space as well due to the shape of the handguard.

I think I prefer the full length to the B!

My Ukara number was certainly printed o the parcel so Anareus are not to blame. It was just pulled aside as a random check. 

Thanks for everyone's advice to me in trying to get this home! It's going to my tech chewie to be given a once over and mosfet installation. 

 
I dremeled a small portion of the inside of the handguard out on mine. If you look down into the pistol grip there's a bit of a lip, I removed some of that, and an 11.1v lipo fits perfectly there now.

I did see that, would be useful if I dont want to keep the battery in the handguard proper but in the pistol grip. It didn't effect the structural integrity?

I can barely fit a 1450mah 7.4 stick if I take the handguard off and fit back on.

Not at all. You're talking 1mm or so of material somewhere that doesn't need it. I'll take a photo when I'm home. Basically the battery then sits in the pistol grip.

 I was thinking of just installing the largest battery I can in the handguard and extending the wires down to the bottom of the pistol grip. Essentially making it a permanent battery and charge it within the rifle. 

But the expense of new batteries that might not fit! 

Cheers for that :)

I wouldn’t, have a battery issue and you’ll lose the gun, particularly when charging??‍♂️
