    Norinco 16" AR15s - is it possible?

    Norinco 16" AR15s - is it possible?

    I think Norinco skipped an important barrel size for us Canadians. Any chance of them making this?

    :D

    Not to mention, what are you really gaining with an additional 1.5 inches of barrel?
    I survived the gun control scare of 2013 and all I got was this t-shirt.......
    And 30 PMags, 5000 rounds of .223, 3000 rounds of 9mm, 5 BCG's, 5 stripped lowers, and a really pissed off wife.

    It does help and 16 inch barrels are one of the better choices for all around ballistic performance.

    The only reason other AR makers use 16 inch barrels is the 14.5 does not comply with US law , A carbine length AR should have a 14.5 barrel so the bayonet mounts proper . Chinese guns are banned in the US so theres no reason for tham to make a 16 .. I wish they made a 18 or 20 inch with a full length gas system .

    Norinco finish may be questionable but it is an excellent reliable item if you take good care of it. Yes there are exceptions but the AR, M305 and the 1911 in my experience are excellent buys and will hold their own any place anytime. In addition, the 1911 is better than some US made brands without mentioning any names and I won’t so don’t even ask….lol
