I just received my Norinco HP9. It operates smoothly. However, it is rusted under the barrel. Does your HP9 have the same problem when you received it?

Thanks and Best Regards,

That's not rust, it's where the gun (pump rails) have been brazed... my Norinco 780 has the same thing.

It does not look like cooper welding. I am not sure.

[Dacton]

Yeah thats too shiny to be rust, plus it wouldn't rust randomly like that when the bluing is brand new

 

[Chip]

x2 for brazing.

 

[Bop67]

ill agree with the above. if you think its rust scrape it with a finger nail rust will leave a residue on your finger and will flake off

 

[Greenbasterd58]

or you could lick it.. if you get lockjaw its rust.. if it taste like zingy metal. its a penny... wait where was i going with this

That's rust. The whole damn thing will be rotted out inside two months at that rate. I'll save you the hassle of the return, just ship it to me and I'll pay you $100 for it....

 

[Chemist]

That's brazing.

 

[YoungGun85]

That's reason 492 why shop class should be mandatory. But in all seriousness it's brazing, not rust.

That's brazing.

[ericling]
