Norinco 334 Bolt Action Hunting Rifle

[Mumbles Marble Mouth]

We do see on the sporting rifle threads someone has successfully mounted a scope on one of these.

You can put lipstick on a pig but it's still a pig.

At least you can eat a pig.

Its not just the bases, they are drilled for metric or some non standard threads. If you have the skill and equipment to retap to 8-40 and modify the bases, you can mount a scope. It's all in my thread where both myself and mumbles mount scopes. That being said, these things are horrible crudely made guns.

Looks nice, rumour is the accuracy on these is questionable. Have they been tested?

If you read my thread on these accuracy should be your least concern. However, it was surprisingly good on my example.

#8 is .16" OD and 1/40 is .025"
M4x.7 is .157" and .7mm is .027"
In reality, both will thread into the same hole. Not sure why firearms are always using UF threads which are just a pain to source.

Is it chrome lined?.......

I wish they were $200. I could use another disposable course gun for the CFSC, and filing off the tip of the firing pin on one of these beauties, then watching someone drop it on a cement floor would not concern me unduly.

Regrettably, for $500, there are many less aesthetically challenged options for the bolt action rifle buyer. I wish the vendor luck in getting these out the door. Norinco is capable of much better work, as they've demonstrated. These are "double-plus ungood". C- for execution, F for effort.

The norc 334 is an insult to paul mauser and anyone that appreciates the m98.

I predict major discounts as the market rejects this turkey.

It's kind of interesting how the M305 was such a loved firearm meanwhile they were also very crudely made. Everyone was willing to look past it's faults and accept it as a functional project rifle. The M334 is essentially a replacement of the M305. A functional project rifle.
