Norinco 223/5.56

[Audet]

Any more Norinco .223/5.56 crates coming?

No. CanAm has stated that Cosco, the shipping company, stopped shipping ammo.

No Chinese ammo anymore until something changes shipping wise.

I picked up a crate at lanz yesterday morning

to save you some reading, Norinco will wear your barrel much faster than higher quality ammo. its offen out of spec, and has poor quality materials in both the coating on the projectiles, and powder, so all that crud adds up to accelerated wear in your barrel. Not a big deal if you plan to keep the rifle for years, and are wiling to replace the barrel, but if you go to sell let others know you used Norc ammo, as many would not buy your rifle, if they knew.

I bought a bunch. I did a search before purchasing and only read that reloading can be an issue as the brass is less malleable. (figured annealing would help that)

Came across that post, think there is any validity to that statement.
I'm not worried as it was the cheapest ammo and I'm running it through the cheapest AR.
I'm glad to hear your'e not having any issues reloading it.
My GF wants a higher end AR I'll probably only run reloads through that to be safe.

I am curious to know why Norinco's 95/5 gilding metal from Europe or South Africa will cause more wear than another 95/5 gilding metal.

cause some guy's aunt's mother in law's sister's red headed step child got picked on by a chinese classmate in middle school, so he decided to make a post on CGN about how bad Norinco products are…..

LOL - thats funny ! ! If Canam is asking I'm gonna bet there's nothing to that claim.....................

 

[Haakman]

Hey Canam are you in talks with any other shipping companies maybe seeing if they're willing to ship ammo or maybe convince them of a policy change? Or are they all being pretty stuck up about it?
Just wondering
Thanks

Yes...inquiring minds want to know. As a bunch of Nork ARs just got sold, I'm sure there are a similar number of people looking for a good deal on ammo...especially in Onterrible where 13% tax and $50 shipping cross country are real killers.

Hey! Lay off the Gingers!!

Works fine in my XCR, but only when the bolts aren't falling out....

I've noticed that a lot of websites that were "sold out" now seem to have stock again. Never hurts to load up and have a few thousand rounds in case supply dries up.

Which dealers, and where? As I said above, Ontario taxes and out of province shipping tend to ruin otherwise good deals on ammo.

It has to do with government, military and line policies. We are trying.
