Hi everyone....
Well the day is finnaly here, i bought my first rifle, the 7.62x51 NATO Norinco M-14/S model service rifle. She came factory packed brand new. The box has the Norinco M14/s Logo on it, and "Manufacured in the peoples republic of China" written on the side. It came with 3 Mags, one 20 round, and 2 5 rounds, vacume sealed in plastic, with a little oil in there surrounding the mags too! the sling, as well as the rifle will vacume sealed seperatly and a cleaning kit/multi tool and lube in the but. After close examination, there isn't a mark on the steel whatsoever, anywhere, and the stock is minty, probly Chinees mystery lumber. I haven't fired it yet, and i am holding off until my ammuntion arrives... which by the way is 147gr 7.62x51 NATO surpluss. It say's .308 on the reciever, but don't be retarded, use NATO ammo, around 147gr, reason being if you stick the typical hunting180gr .308 hunting ammo in her, A: 180gr is too heavy a round for a service rifle of this type, and B: it generates too much gass pressure, causing the barrell to warp or foul, or maybe even slam fire or explode. Its a military rifle, use military ammo. I'm glad we Canadians are able to pick up top notch (IMHO) service rifles, and not pay rediculous prices like our yankee pals to the south. I'm going to fire it this week at the range here in NS, got 200 rounds of 7.62x51mm FMJ NATO FNM portugees surplusss ammo today, and will gladly post some pics of the groups i get ect. With a nice coat of break free, it cleaned up the factory grease, and the entire rifle is glimmering like moe-foe. If anyone else got the M14/S here in canada, give me a shout or leave a post !!!!!!!!!
