Norinco M334 Bolt Action Rifle .308Win 22" Wood Stock with Iron Sights

[BeaverMeat]

Action looks Mauser M98ish so likely a copy.

Look like a short action copy of a FN98 deluxe

 

[Light Infantry]

The fit and finish of the wood is atrocious.

 

[Undergiver]

It would sell better if it was a Kar-98 copy.

Got little bearing on where the bullet ends up. And you'll never have to worry 'bout babying it in the bush.

Actually it does. Poorly fitted and bedded furniture, with poor wood to metal contact greatly affects accuracy.
Basic riflemanship.

Didn't consider that, but a very good point.

Or you could just buy a $399 milsurp off intersurplus and get the real deal. Never had a problem with norinco stuff, but its mostly just shooter grade stuff. And its kinda BS to reward a company for just theiving designs, instead of making something fresh.

Just for the sake of discussion (I don't have a solid opinion on this at all), how long is acceptable before a copied design is not considered "thieving" anymore? For instance, there are many companies who make AR-platform rifle systems. Some have improvements, while others offer similar quality at a lower price, but without any new innovations. Same with all the companies (Turkish, American, etc) that copied/cloned Glock firing and safety systems.

I wholeheartedly agree that innovation is important (I work in design and engineering), but at the same time, I have a gut feeling that it's unfair to negatively treat companies that put out decent quality products (for the price) just because they didn't design it themselves.

Meanwhile, there are many companies that put out risky/innovative/fresh designs that I wouldn't ever buy again because I've been sorely disappointed with the quality (Kel-tec for example).

Disclaimer - I also haven't owned any high end rifles, so I'm probably only seeing it from a poor person's perspective. The most expensive rifle I own is a $700 Ruger American Ranch.

20 moa rail for the Space shots

 

[mbogo3]

Wonder what base it's drilled and tapped for?

 

[Craig0ry]

I wouldn't pay $500 for that, but funny thing though, if that came with a 16" barrel I would pay 500, a 13" barrel I would pay 600 haha

For 100$,I'll shorten the barrel for you

Not even blued. Probably dipped into the same bath as the type 81 "special edition". This one is so ugly. Most people would probably accept it if it would be in 7.62x39.

MSRP $499

 

[stang]

MSRP $499.99
Way over priced for what I see here.

Im down with the finish. That actual MSRP listed somewhere? (Didn't notice the edit above until now)

Surprised how much less interesting it is at $500. Could have been a neat economy option, but that's how the dollar is right now.

SHHHHhhh - that's a 'State' secret ~ {Comrade} ~ ..along with the MSRP ~

 

[Abramshunter]

Would jump on one of these if they made a 7.62x39. Crazy that the MSRP is more than double what you could get a an SKS for about 3 years ago.

 

[lone-wolf]

Oh the jw105, but now with more shrapnel!

Don't skip your eye protection when using norcs

 

[CZ Shooter]

Did anyone notice the wood around the hinged part of the mag well? (third pic down).
Almost as if the stock was originally made for another firearm, unless it is some kind of an reflection/pic angle at play here?
