    Norinco M1 Garand ?

    I found blueprints for a M1 garand reciever on the internet, would norinco be willing to make new garand recievers? ( i have high resolution drawings)

    edit: possibly found Blueprints for the entire rifle.

    Why is there a shortage of them ?
    Pre-orders are horrible for everyone involved. They never go smooth. We will not be doing a pre-order to bankroll this project.

    I'm all for it, but I doubt Norinco could beat $50.

    they will run out soon. And when they do the prices will go up. Im looking for all the manufacturing blueprints of the m1 garand. so far found the reciever only. Maybe if the blueprints are found for the rest of the parts we can see some norinco garands?

    edit: found a book that contains all of the blueprints for every single part for the m1 garand, so what can be done canadaammo?

    Because they don't make them anymore, and too many people want the ones that are left.
    Today could be the last day of the rest of your life.

    I'm sure the Chinese will tool up a factory to produce M1 receivers for the tiny Canadian market

    perhaps it will be in a few years when available garands dry up? if they can make the m305b for 5-600$ it shouldnt be difficult to make a garand for 5-700$. I am not sure if they already had the tooling set up for the m305b before they started selling them here. Im just brainstorming about norinco making garands here. if it cant be done then oh well.

    The Norc M14 was possible because they had the tooling as they made full auto M14's for military contracts .
    Same reason we have Norc AR's
    The M1 Garand is a far more complicated rifle to produce than the M14 .
