Are the Norinco 1911a1 .45 70 or 80 series?

All but one of mine are Series 70 style.
The exception is my NP-30NN, it is a Series 80 style.
The additional firing-pin safety bits are the same as the Colt bits.

I own Norincos, Colt series 70 and Series 80 pistols. My opinion is that all three are good pistols. Again, what do I mean? I will take all the Series 80 Colts that people are willing to give me and give them a good home. Regards, Richard
I guess the 70 series seem more simple to me. Must be my simple brain!
Are there any real parts difference between the Norinco 1911a1 and an actual colt? Any weird parts or metric threading I need to know about? The Norinco seems like such a good deal. A little tune up from Armco and it should be decent.

As far as the standard 1911A1 series goes (not the wide-body series), the only difference is the fact that the grip-screw bushings have a different thread into the frame. The grip-screws themselves are the same as Colts.

Their Chi-com Series
John Browning's design as adopted by the US Army in 1911 is the 1911 series. Small changes took place in the '20's and changed the Army designation to 1911A1.
'70 series are basically 1911A1's with some cosmetic appearance changes only.
The Chi-com guns are reverse-engineered copies of the expired Colt's patent.
They are 1911-style clones with Chi-com markings made by the Chi-com army division called Norinco.
Why can't the peoples of Cuba-com buy the Chi-com 1911's?
