[Jarvy]

I would take 14.5 every time for reliability and the ability to shoot longer distances. It's still plenty short.


Also bayonets.

lol. i like fire and loud noises

than 10.5 for sure, I've got a MK18 (10.3) with a BCM comp and it is more "fire and loud noises" than I expected compared to my former 11.5.

Hard to go wrong with either however I'd learn more towards the 14.5"

Another vote for the 14.5" as a general all-round unit. Will let you get decent accuracy at the bench & also for any CQB or 2/3 Gun event you may want to try in the future

 

[GuiltySpark]

10.5 for serious CBQ competitions or illusions. 14.5 will give you better accuracy and range but is also still very good in an CQB environment.

 

[shredder]

14.5" would be my choice were it me. Still plenty short, but should be more accurate if you want to reach out to 3-400 yrds (such as Service Rifle competitions and maybe 3-Gun depending on your range).

What are you using it for?

If you need range, go with the longer barrel. If you only shoot out to 200m, the 10.5" will do fine. Longer barrels only help with accuracy if you're using iron sights.

14 5 has my vote !

14.5 hands down. Still plenty short, yet provides more versatility than the 10.5

For sure.

Why don't you get both if you can afford it. Trust me, you will be upgrading various parts of your norc, which will eventually cost you over a grand easy...
just my two cents.

 

[Ganderite]

14.5 I have one. main mods are a Rock River trigger and a float tube. Works very well.

 

[lone ranger]

I asked the same question earlier this year. Well...I had both. I sold the 14.5 and kept the 10.5
I honestly thought I would hate the 10. I heard all sorts of FTfeed & extraction,and accuracy stories. They are simply not true. I love this shorty. I have never had ANY problems, and believe it or not,...its more accurate than my 14.5
I can hit the metal Pig targets at 300 yards no problem at our range. I tried it for fun, ..I didn't think it would. Very impressed ! I am running a Red field 3x9 scope. The cool facture is at night "muzzle flash"

When Larry Vickers was up here, did he try both barrel length uppers when he was playing with the Norcs?

 

[MikeDelta]

14.5" gets my vote. Norinco however does not... not to derail the thread. I put a 14.5" barrel on my carbine not too long ago and I love it. Maybe it's all in my head but it seems more versatile than the 16" I had on before. I've handled the Daniel Defense MK18 and loved how short the carbine is. I still see more advantages in going with a 14.5" barrel though.

I've seen Vickers use mostly 14.5" carbines on the 'net.

 

[JTF#]

the 14.5 is the better gun.

 

[Moe]

Go 14.5 your filling will rattle out of your head with the 10.5 and reliability is better with AR rifles the longer the barrel gets.

All I know about the 10.5 is what I have read on CGN. However, my 14.5 Norc works great. I get some pretty decent accuracy with my reloads, even with the crappy original trigger.
