Vietnam era M16... Very cool firearm.

[call2arms]

Firearm good, weird furniture needs replacing with something more correct.

I dont intend to add anything on it, i dont even know if i will shoot it, i mainly bought it to add to the number of AR out there.

I was lucky to get the last one from Canadammo, i really had no idea what i was buying, everything turn out fine, the look of the rifle is Vietnam era cool Mattel rifle.

Nice!

My norinco, haven't had a chance to shoot it I'd like to fine a bayonet for it.

WTF is with that furniture>

[Leviathan024]

I think that is a norinco cq311. The handguards should be triangular and 3 prong flash hider for the vietnam era

-ish.

As call2arms pointed out, all three pieces of plastic furniture are quite different from a US issued, Vietnam era rifle.

Frankly, I think people do not give the Norinco 311 variant enough credit. It was a legitimate variant unto itself, and I think it's a shame how many people scrap the furniture to go the USGI look. I think the Chinese furniture would sell well to the Americans looking to recreate something they have only seen in a book.

For a history clone this is good enough for me. I find it cool.

[Goo98]

I've dealt with some Americans that collect the furniture because its unobtainium down there.

That is very definitely a Norinco CQ311. Had one years ago . Good rifle actually. Virtually never quite running put a ton of ammo down it then sold it & bought a Stag 3G.
