Highest rounds fired from Norinco CQA
- Thread starter faizi
- Start date
Waay back - in 2011 - I replaced the barrel on my Norky at ~12,000 rounds. Starting around the 11,000 mark, it was showing signs of excessive wear via larger than normal group sizes.
A brief history,
2010 - Bought my 14.5" Norky.
2011 - @ 12,000 Rounds - Installed a new Norky Barrel. Replaced extractor/ spring/ misc small parts while I was at it. Spent a grand total of $200 on it - a princely sum at the time given the rifle new only cost me $700.
2013 - @15,000 Rounds - Installed a new (also a Norinco) BCG as a preventative measure.
2016 - @21,000 Rounds - Gave it away as a "parts" rifle. I understand the new owner still shoots it occasionally.
It ran like a champ throughout. In fact - the internals did not exhibit any excessive wear and it functioned exceptionally well. I did not, however, abuse it or shoot excessively hot reloads though it. I did however, keep it clean, lubed, inspected it regularly and used Magpul & KCI Steel magazines (throw away the ones that come with it).
Regret giving it away now! Good times and tons of lolz were had with it.

So, it's Mini-14 accuracy is what you are saying?
Hey man, I don't think that's a really fair comparison.
A Nork with 75,000+ rounds through it is waaaay more accurate that a mini 14
btw to the OP; I got pics of my buddies gun, I'll post them in the next couple of days when I re-figure out image hosting

Bought it New from Marstar. If you are looking - do give Marstar a call. Sometimes they have stock that is not listed on the website. When I had inquired, they had mentioned that they would be able to get one in one of the shipments but that it would take a while. So I ordered and waited.
