Some dealers have been talking about it on the CGN Forum and while it is not a sure thing yet it does sound promising!
The Type 97 is an export version of the PLA's current issue infantry rifle, the QBB-95, only chambered in 5.56x45mm. You can read more about them here and here. Supposedly, the rifle has already seen it's first action, with the Chinese contingent in Haiti.
It does look crude, but it's the only bullpup in town, and it's going to be priced to compete with other 5.56mm restricted class rifles, at hopefuly $600-$800 bucks. Half the price of an AR, and just maybe we can get a non-restricted version too...there is a longer barreled DMR version.
