would you?

If Norinco had a clone of the pre 64 Winchester model 70 built, would you buy one?

If it was the same quality of fit and finish as the original pre-64 I don't see why not. Chances of that aren't good, though.

Nope.

I do not purchase Norinco firearms, nor do I willingly purchase any product from China.

No offence to those who do.

Depends on:

1. Price (???)
2. Calibre (.30-06, .308)
3. Iron sights (yes)

If it has those then, maybe.

a few (6-8??) years ago Lever in vancouver had some. In 30-06, 308, and I think they even had a 7.62x39.

They were pretty poorly made and they were around $350 if I recall.

And no, I didn't buy one.

 

[tikka]

No! But i would buy a new winchester model 70.

 

[ben hunchak]

I'm with Doug, there are so many nice guns made in N.A. that are well made, I don't see why you would want to ruin the name of Winchester Model 70.

 

[Rocket Surgery]

What if the gun had a North American or European name brand applied to it, but everything was made in Turkey or Brazil? Surely then it would alright to purchase, so long as it didn't come from China. Can't be supporting the commies, even if we're paying muslims. MERICUH!!1

Despite less than stellar experiences with Norinco in the past, I'd have to think hard on it if they offered left-handed models for cheap.

Never!

 

[two-dogs]

as the new saying in Mb go's: "were not sure"
I know I would certainly not eat any food products from China!

 

[Wrathchild]

Nope, never happen here.

If thats what you want, why not find the real thing, then you've got something to be proud of.

 

[diemaco]

Why would anyone? The new FN M70s are very well built for the price (minus some poorly cut barrel channels)

 

[Claybuster]

No.

Nope! Not a chance!!!!

this question doesn't even make sense. Norinco isn't going to start hand fitting parts to bolt action rifles.

 

[Johnn Peterson]

For the most part, NOT INTERESTED!! For example, my pride & joy levergun/caliber combo is my model 71 deluxe in 348WCF.

I wouldn't mind using the 71 action for a custom in say 50 cal but I'm not interested in bastareizing something classic to get one. However, my buddy has a Browning 71 reproduction, now that I'd use as the basis for a custom 50.

Well, they made a few as I referred to above.

Trust me, there were no hand fitted parts.

 

[kamlooky]

NO.....RING...........KO.............

NOT A HOPE IN HELL.

Doesn't roll of the tongue in a nice fashion either.
Right up there with Jysk.
