I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

What happened to the 5.56mm version available to Canadian citizens? Last I heard the RCMP was approving, banning, restricting, and then approving it.
1, Type95 and Type95-1 are both national project comissioned by the General Armaments Department. The production is subcontracted to varies army factories. Norinco is mostly a exporting company, same as PolyTech.
2, Picatiny Rail or mods with similar look are not officically approved, so far there is no such attachments issued. the official view is neither support nor against, however the doctrine prohibites any modification done by individual solder to weapon.
