Actually, I haven't heard of "plenty" of them not working - in fact, if you have a reference to a Norc not working, I'd love to see it. If we were talking Oly, I'd be right with you. I've fixed 3 or 4.

peruse the black rifle threads. There is a fair few. I don't think they suck to the level of nea/bcl, olympic, dpms panther but they aren't that great. Might be good enough to be a hobby grade ar, but as epoxy stated the time when it held the spot as the bargain basement ar that quasi worked is gone, especially with the m&p sport out.
Have to agree 100% with this. Most people bashing Nork/DA havent shot the hell out of one of these rifle or haven't shot it period.
Are they pretty ? Nope
Do they work ? Yup
I work with a Colt Canada C8 and beside the fun switch that I havent used in years, my DA556 does the same thing, shoots the same ammo and finishes ahead of a lot of people at CQB matches
I think a lot more people abuse the Norc rifles - shoot iffy ammo, neglect cleaning, and "torture test" them in an effort to see if they'll fail. I've yet to see anyone do most of the stuff that you'll see done with Norcs to their $2500 DD - things like mag dumps of Norc ammo for example, run nothing but steel case, or shoot a case of uncrimped 40 grain WWB after a case of whatever was cheapest last month at the gun shop. Considering the crap they go through, they do pretty well. After all, when was the last time someone said "I'm not running that ammo through my Norc"? Add to that the number of folks who have never stripped an AR, but buy a Norc to "rebuild" into a tacticool mall ninja special, and it's essentially a recipe for failure. Like I said, they don't do badly.
I'm mildly surprised that Colt LLC ARs are placed on the same level here as Diemaco/Colt Canada rifles. For one thing, I have a huge respect for the cold forged barrels standard on the Canadian rifle, I mean they are after all the heart of the firearm and the Diemacos are supremely accurate. Then there's the fact that Vermont Americans I know, who can of course own whatever they want openly and freely, have only a mild respect for the US Colt LLC ARs. I've been told that the main reason to own one is that they make them for the military but that there's really nothing special about them other than the slightly higher price over, say, a Windham Weaponry AR.
The noveske is such a smooth gun to handle, never shot an MR223 so I’m gonna have to buy it , will be my first piston AR. Looking for an 11.5inch ones seem to be impossible lol
