    Just checking: Can you take any sort of 14.5"/10.5" AR south of the border? ever?

    I personally doubt there's enough demand for a 16". Remember that Norinco isn't singling out Canadian civilians as a "market". We get the extras left over from major foreign military and police purchases.

    If you want a 16" barrel on a norc, buy a new-used one off the EE and put it on yourself. It'll only take you an hour.

    ^pretty much.

    If they already had a "real order" for 16" barrel from Iran or who ever buy's their guns I could see us getting one. But if they had to manufacture one for us specifically and had to add a couple hundred to the price tag, it would price itself out of the market.

    Nothing. Anything you can do with a 16", you can do with a 14.5" and sometimes better.
    There are only two types of people in this world, those who want to control others, and those who have no such desire. The former is the enemy of humanity.

    Stand together. Stand strong. Don't give them an inch for they will take a mile.

    That wouldnt happen because no military or other country would be ordering 16" barrels. The only reason 16" barrels exist is for sale to US civilians. Since norinco cant sell to the US they have no reason for them to ever make a 16" barrel.
