Just wondering why there isn't a thread on fixin' up Norinco pistols? There is TONNES of stuff on the M14s and other various Norinco firearms but no tuneing and sprucing up of the pistols....

WHAT - Colt grips on a Norinco - Blasphemy......Mine wears Wilson Combat Cocobolos I can vouch for Terry's NP-29 as one hell of a gun for the money, even taking into account what he has invested in it. It shoots great and it looks pretty damn good too. I was pretty much bullseye-ing everything I pointed at within 15m with that gun. The combination of the heavy gun, the (minimal) trigger job, the better sights, and the 9mm cartridge is just superb. When the hell is Marstar going to get more of these NP-29s??--Terry-- said:What I have done to my NP-29 to "fix" it (better sights are the biggest improvement on the original gun, all others are cosmetic):

When the hell is Marstar going to get more of these NP-29s??Now, I'm thinking of buying an NP-28 (double stack 9mm) just cuz that's all they have.
What is the verdict NP-28? Do standard 1911 parts not fit or something?? Seems like everyone wants the NP-29 (for 9mm) but nobody wants a 28.
One other point, yah, obviously you can go buy a super nice 1911 that will put anything Norinco makes to shame, but then there is no fun in working on it. Quite the reverse, most people won't screw around with their Colt, Kimber, STI (etc) too much - not wanting to wreck it. Whereas with a Norinco.... its a $300-400 dollar gun. Go nuts. try stuff. If it doesn't work out, so what. Most of us spend more than that on ammo in a month. I think that's the beauty of these Norinco guns.

Don't buy the hi-cap Norinco 1911. Be patient and wait for the NP-29.
