Too bad they're restricted because they're mean looking. Otherwise I'd absolutely pick one up. CAF can't afford for me to go to the range once a year, I might as well try to go myself.

And yes, they work just as well, for the average shooter.
Chief Stoker said:Already own a Norinco along with others. The only factor for me buying one would be the Diemaco markings like CF issue. Hopefully they'll won't be that expensive.
recceguy said:Maybe they'll sell the stripped lower receiver?
NinerSix said:When you can get an imported Colt 6920 for ~$1500 (or a Daniel Defense for $1700), a +$2000 C7/C8 makes no sense.

Mr. St-Cyr said:That is a bold statement.
recceguy said:Not really. I've bought, sold, modified and gunsmithed close to, if not more than a hundred Norinco firearms. I've also custom built a large number of AR style firearms and fixed an equal number for people. I've found.with the exception of final finish (cosmetics don, alter functionality) for the beginner, or averge weekend shooter on a fixed budget, there is nothing wrong with Norinco. I've seen vuys use the Norcs in matches and unless you looked right at the gun, you'd never know what they were shooting.
X_para76 said:I am currently looking to purchase my first civi pattern M4 and I know that there are a lot of different manufacturers out there. Can anyone here please give me some recommendations of good mil spec producers? Your input and any personal experience/feedback both positive and negative would be greatly appreciated. I'm willing to spend about $1500 so that may help with your suggestions.
Many thanks!
