Norc 8.5 Tube fed (Pics/Vids! Range report!)

[Nine]

I received my 8.5" Norc today. So far, I am impressed!

Took it apart and gave it a wipe down/inspection.





Something I was surprised to see (pleasantly) is that the trigger group is polymer.









These things are very cool. I LOVE the forend. The buttstock has to go ASAP. I hate the rubber recoil pad. Stinks! (smokey rubber smell). The OAL is approx 28.75". I plan to install a hogue 12" LOP, a XS Sight Systems "Big Dot" tritium bead and a green hi-viz follower. But before that I'll do some function testing. I'm working the next 4 days, so I'll try to hit the range on Monday. I'll post some more pics then.

PS: A big thanks to SFRC for getting this to me. Great people to deal with!

How much and from where?
It's interesting that they switched the trigger group.... I wonder why? The D.A. 8.5"ers are metal trigger groups or they were...

you will love the xs sights....i put it on mine..it's the best sight .....


also if you take a tac-star 6 shot side saddle, and cut the holder back to 4 rounds..the extra that sticks forward can be modified to install the rail that came for the top on the side....for light..whatever. won't interfere with slide action (hand passes by light with out any interference). also put a cheap little laser on it...opened it up filled it with non-conductive silicone...now it holds zero and is ressistant to recoil

great little gun...have had no problems at all

WOW! That is a short barrel. This looks just like the Remington 1100. I wonder if they have interchangeable parts?
