I own a CQ5.56. I bought this rifle because I was on a budget.Paid 1000$ tx.+ship. included with extra picatinny quad rail.
How accurate is your CQ5.56 ?
do you if I could remplace the stock barrel and get a 24" varmint/target one
will it fit on Norinco ?
are these Target barrel available ?
how much do they go for ?
This could be a really nice option I think if the barrel sells for less then $400 it would still be cheaper then a Stag arms and I would have 2 different possible configurations on the same gun
Those R15 and R25 only come in weird Camo look right ?
Do they have big Beefy barrel of regular hunting ones.

I just picked up a Rock River Arms National Match A4. I'll post a review and a range report in a month or so.
Thats exactly the kind of accuraty I'm looking for
Do you have any picture of you gun actual setup ?
The beautiful part of the AR platform is the fact you don't need alot of extra gear or items to work 'just right' to make them shoot - float a really good barrel and feed it really good ammo; the rest is gravy. No need to spend $2000 on a completed upper. There is no need to blueprint, square, bed, shave or otherwise #### with it to make it shoot. Anyone who tells you otherwise is selling you swamp land....
I use to have a COLT HBAR, and stupid me, I sold it 5 years ago. Recently, I managed to find another one, unfired, Colt, HBAR and 1/9 twist rate (AR-15A3 Competition HBAR (Cat.#R-6731)). It's presently in the mail in this direction. Can't wait to hug it in my arms again! (Tears!) I don't intend to ever sell it and here is why:
My previous one (Colt Cat.#R-6600,1989) was punching close to 0,5 moa. That means within one inch at 200m, 5 shots consecutive (let's say at 5 sec. interval) no cooling pause. I used to make 60 - 100 round sessions at the club, to work my reloads, carefully noting results and velocity (with my chronograph), all this in 60 to 90 minutes. Never noticed that barrel heat-up was an issue. Shot 2000 rds approx with it: never had a misfire or failure to feed or eject. I once downed three skunks in 5 sec, from a little under 100yards. The watching neighbor couldn't believe it. She lately had had to stay inside every day between 16h00 and 18h00, as the mother and 2 cub skunks were crossing her property to go to the lake.
Yes the look is awesome: draws instant attention (and respect...). Terribly funny sound "dong-a-long" from the recoil spring in the stock (if your ear is close to it). No recoil.
I reload and still have my old recipes. I am now in more distant shooting with 308W (300 - 500m). You can bet I will be comparing with the newly acquired HBAR.
If you intend to hunt, this caliber is of course much weaker than .308W you'll be looking at a different spectrum of game.
I do bench rest and an AR-15 is just as fun, different, and very surprising. I could not believe a semi-auto could group like that when you realize how fast a round is slammed in battery. I have 20 plus rifles. If I had to grab one and run for the woods, it would be either the AR-15 or the CZ-858-2L (7,62x39, unrestricted and better suited to put a steak in your plate). But no where near as accurate of course. Enjoy!

All part of the CQ5.56 are interchangeable with Colt M4. Dont know about the rest, sorry.
+1 for Remington R-15.
I always get sub MOA @ 100 yards and 1 1/4" - 1 1/2" @ 200 yards from handloaded ammo if I do my part.
