That's me: you're friendly neighbourhood arms dealer.![]()
to save you some reading, Norinco will wear your barrel much faster than higher quality ammo. its offen out of spec, and has poor quality materials in both the coating on the projectiles, and powder, so all that crud adds up to accelerated wear in your barrel. Not a big deal if you plan to keep the rifle for years, and are wiling to replace the barrel, but if you go to sell let others know you used Norc ammo, as many would not buy your rifle, if they knew.
Thanks for the responses.
I don't plan on getting rid of the rifle any time soon. About how many rounds do you usually expect a barrel to take?
