Which is why I'm very careful not to earn any more infractions, haha!
I bought a lot of norcs when I first got into shooting, and it was the Norc CQ-A that drew me in because for the first time, an AR was affordable. I've collected a few of the brand-named Gucci toys since then, but I still have a few of my Norcs. I’ve never had any issues with any of my Norincos, and I would normally recommend them to anyone as an inexpensive way to get into the game, but with the prices of US made ARs dropping faster than burning Zeppelins, it’s not that far a stretch to get a Colt or DD.
Still, I wouldn’t go around trashing Norcs, their owners, or try to make people feel bad for owning them. I’ve pretty much read the “lipstick on a pig” comment in just about every single thread when a Norc owner is trying to get information on tinkering with their Norcs, and I just don’t see the point other than the whole “free speech” bit. Buddy’s asking a simple question, standard response is “sorry, your Norc’s junk and it’s not worth modding”. Believe it or not, some folks aren’t concerned with resale value and to many people, their rifle’s aren’t like investing in stocks and bonds. Some people plan to use their firearms and run them into the ground.
Anyway, back to my original point, this is CGN and there are all kinds of people here.
