Mechanics and Disassembly of the Norinco QBZ-97 / Type 97 NSR
Forgotten Weapons

18m
The Chinese military introduced a new 5.8x42mm cartridge in 1987, and then developed a new bullpup rifle to use it. The rifle was the QBZ Type 95, and it was a bullpup rifle with a rotating bolt and short-stroke gas piston operating system. Shortly thereafter, a commercial export version was released in 5.56mm NATO, designated the Type 97. While Norinco rifles are barred from importation into the United States, they have become available in Canada. The rifle we are looking at today is a Canadian import Type 97 NSR.
Thanks to Daniel and Colin for arranging this opportunity for me to take a look at the rifle!
