Norinco M14 Shorty....Back in town!

[nntw]

This is one of 5 different videos saying China got the tooling.

i wonder if the 'mericans- are confusing Taiwan, the REPUBLIC of China, with mainland China, the PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC of China

Taiwan bought the M14 and also the tooling, according to Wikipedia

and also
Chuck Hawks, who I admit I take with a grain of salt after his rant about S&W.

Selling the tooling to Taiwan would make a lot more sense than selling it to mainland China.

Preliminary range report...

Out of the box, free standing at 25 yards (indoor range), absolutely nothing done to the rifle other than wiping it down from all the grease.

First seven were test shots (random up top), then I got serious, standing up.

The rifle showed up at my door exactly one week after I ordered it, great service, great product, damn you SFRC, I love you, I hate you (I shouldn't post after a Martini).

mmm.... no Hungry clinic, no shimming, no tweaking.... mmmm.....

This is what I think is going on. Taiwan refers to itself as "China", as does mainland "China". They are separate governments (although mainland China feels it has claim to the island of Taiwan)
