Norinco QBU-88

ah well, they obviously asked the right price because they sold out....people just want unique rifles in their collection, and there you go...expensive conversation piece...

Yup. But.... same thing happened with the FN PS90 too. They were going for 4K (sold out). Then couple years later 2K. Not such a good investment if there's nothing in place to protect that uniqueness. I kind of get the feeling that a $200 Burris Fullfield II E1 scope is better than the one that rifle comes with.

I'd like to have one of these rifles. But.. not going to pay 3K for one. I'd love to see them brought at quantity and a good price point. I like the looks of them and I'm fond of bullpup rifles.
 
I'd buy one right now if A: They were in stock, and B: I had the cash
Tactical Imports said that they can shoot 1 MOA with good ammo, and I'd love to test that, or at least do some videos for it.
 
Bit of a necro-post, but I doubt that as well.
Still, would be cool if whomever is bringing more in would let us know ahead of time so we could save our pennies.
 
Well, the upside is we'll have a few years to save up to buy one, if the RCMP deem us worthy to have them. It seems the RCMP are getting paranoid for some reason....:runaway: THEY HAVE TOO MANY GUNZ
 
I'm a Chinese. Don't buy it. It's not accurate. Our soldiers call it 88散 (88 shotgun，散 means spread out), without tons of adjustment accuracy is worse than a Type 95 with an scope.
 
I've spoken to a few guys on here who own/owned them, as well as general reviews, and all were quite positive on accuracy, hovering around 1 MOA.
I would like to put that to the test though and see. If it sucks, Youtube and CGN will be the first to know.

They already exist in Canada as non-restricted.
There isn't a full-auto variant of it, so there is no way they could pull that card with it.
 
I had a great experience with the 5.8mm T88 a few years back. I did not care for it much at first but after firing away 20 rds I was impressed by the solid hitting of the 5.8 "heavy round". The placement on target was quite predictable. I remembered paying $3 per rd plus a small introduction fee at the training base. However I failed to persuade them to let me keep the rifle.heh.
Good thing is we have the t97 here do we?

Barrel mounted bipods tend to change the point of impact so thats likely the problem.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand he's banned.

So many banned people on CGN wth ? I see this all the time.

What makes you think that post is the reason he was banned?

From what I've gleaned, most bans are due to either the discussion of something illegal (against the forum rules), harassment (also against the rules), making sock-puppets (against the rules) or ban evasion (making new accounts to continue posting after being banned. Very much against the rules).

So, either it was one of the latter two, in which case you wouldn't see any specific posts that were against forum rules, or it was one of the other violations in which case a moderator would have deleted the post(s) anyway.

Not saying that there is no such thing as moderator abuse (That is a fact of life on basically all websites), but let's not jump to conclusions here.

They certainly did pull that card on a semi-auto long gun that never had a full-auto version. That's right, the SVD Dragunov. Too close to the AK for the taste of the RCMP.
Forget the T88, let's tear up the Firearms Act and import some Norinco Type 86 rifles! $2000 for the SVD clone? I'm sure I wouldn't be the only guy buyng one of those!

Not exactly. The dragunov is a named prohib. Not prohib'd as a full auto. Prohib'd by order in council. The RCMP didn't prohib it, the liberals did.
