Norinco NZ85B --Thanks Canada Ammo!!!

[Meroh]

The level of service and great communication is as good as it gets!
My brand new Norinco NZ85B arrived yesterday, it is nicer and way more well finished than I expected from Norinco! It and both mags have been stripped, cleaned and lubricated. Fit on everything is very tight, and machining marks are shallow and smooth as one would expect from any of the more costly pistols. I have applied a light application of die-makers grease to all sliding surfaces for break-in, and will be taking it out to the range on Monday.

The grips are also a little hard, smooth and thick, but I have a very nice block of rose-wood waiting in my shop for such a project.

No rivets on the mags; cool integral leg on the mag follower instead, leaving the mags smooth.

The only criticism I have is UPS dropped the package on my front porch without a signature, and instead, sent me an email asking me to sign for it via email. It was not there long, but still Canada Post and Can Par would not leave a Toaster without a signature; let alone a firearm; and in this case a restricted one.

Anyway, thanks!

A bud noted that stock CZ grips may need to be modified with a Dremel to fit. I think these are based on mid-80s Tanfoglios.

Canpar pulls the same shenanigans. They left a pelican case I ordered leaning against my front door a couple weeks ago.

Fired hundreds of rounds down the pipe in my nz85b without any problem! Excellent handgun!

Mine has just a little over 500 rounds. Slide is super stiff still but it goes bang every time. Gets better the more rounds I put thru it.

Nice. Is that Satin Nickel, hard Chrome or Polycoat?

Wow. You just made that pistol look like a million dollars.

I did not know they are so nice. I should get one myself.
