$99 norinco pistol

I've had one for years. I also bought the 9mm drop in kit. It shoots both 7.62 and 9mm with perfectly acceptable accuracy. The 9mm doesn't like hollow point in mine. I could probably fix that if I felt like tinkering with it a bit but FMJ is cheaper anyway and I'm shooting paper.
If you want an inexpensive pistol that will shoot longer than you can, and give you lots of fun and practice this is your firearm.
It doesn't have the mirror finish of my Gold Cup, but I enjoy it just as much.
And 7.62 is a scorcher of a round!
 
Mine seems so have a jam with the shell not slipping into the chamber and getting stuck at an angle going in but not on the first manual action, but the second shell. I smoothed the feeding ramp to a shiny mirror finish but it still happens once in a while.

I'll keep playing. That's what I bought these guns for. Not a huge deal, but one of the trigger groups has a little bit of a break off the bat, that you can reset by pulling the hammer back 1 mm. It's like some kind of 2 stage trigger. Like a clunk and then a nice trigger... oh well.. any ideas? All the parts are very clean and oiled.

The other has a very nice trigger. A little bit of play before it happens but it's smooth and not too bad.

I took only the one to the range to learn it. I picked that one because all of the magazines slid in and fell freely out of it. The other one only did that with 2 of them. Now.. by dissembling and cleaning/oiling/playing/smoothing, both seem to like 3 of the magazines and 1 of them only pops about 1 cm out with the button. At least it's now the same for both guns.

Oh well I want to bevel the edges where they go into the web of my hand. After 120 rounds if I didn't consciously hod it a certain way, it was starting to get annoying. Can anyone suggest a good instant bluing that will match?

No regrets, I knew I was looking at a project

North American doesn't automatically equate to being good...you realize this right? Hell, the worst FIREARM I've ever shot was the browning hi-powers the CF has, built under contract in Canada*. Multiple stoppages in a single magazine, to the point that I had to manually load the last round.

Also, point me to a Canadian manufacturer of pistols (that you can actually buy, Para Ord doesn't count). There really is not much of a difference in supporting the U.S. firearms manufacturers versus ones based overseas.


*Yes, I realize those guns were built 65ish years ago, just trying to illustrate a point.
