Norinco 5.56 1120 Round Spam Can Deal

[Bigfooter]

There are umpteen threads about the quality of the Norinco 5.56. Do a search. In a nutshell, the majority have shot thousands of rounds with no problem and also reload the brass if you're into that. At 25 cents/rd, who needs to waste time and effort reloading?

Non-corrosive. And there's a thread somewhere with pics from CanAm to prove it.

PMC is better quality with a (MUCH) higher price tag to match. For the money, Norinco 5.56 can't be beat.

I have done my search, and I am looking for CGNers feedback.

Damn. I don't really need .223 right now but I might have to order atleast one of these.

Words of wisdom from Canucklehead back in February (regarding the cheap price of Norinco 5.56 crates):
People who buy silver are IDIOTS. This #### is gold!!!!

Price of silver in February 2013: $29/oz. Price today? About $10/oz less!

Bargain Norinco is holding steady.

Look at the pics (blow 'em up in size): Year = 1996. I'll guess the headstamp is CJ96.

yea, my 5.56's head stamp is CJ 95 ......so what does CJ mean ?!

 

[Bigfooter]

CJ = China North Industries Corp (Norinco manufacturer).

Anyone in Red deer area, let me know if you wanna split one!

 

[ryanthony]

For those who ordered from canadaammo before how long did you have to wait to receive you items?

 

[Ar180shooter]

how reliable and good these norinco ammos are? I have never used them. Feedbacks?

It's OK quality wise. I get about 2MOA out of my Swiss Arms, and it seems to hold that out to longer distances (i.e. doesn't fall apart after 300).

I placed an order on july 1st, was shipped on the 11th and will get it around the 17th........

I ordered two, got to stock up well I can. Does anybody think it's silly to spend $3000+ on a rifle, then shoot the cheapest ammo through it I can find?

I am thinking the same thing too. Do you think these kind of ammo won't do any damages to your rifle? I am tempted too

 

[cl_82000]

Couldn't resist had to order.

 

[Leviathan024]

If you did a search. You would have read the feedback from all the CGN users.

The only thing silly is that we as Canadian have to spend 3G on NR rifles. Feeding them non expensive ammo like this is a given as for the most part non of the rifles this ammo is being purchased for could be qualified as tac drivers. Buy cheep and stack deep. Another 5 cases that aren't needed on the way. Thanks CanAm.

Not if the scope of my search was outside CGN.

For all those of you who is wondering about rivetc78, he is my biggest fan and he trolls around the forum to bash on my posting. He told me that it makes him feel like a real man.

Enough of the squabbling....back to the matter at hand: Cheap bargain-priced Norinco 5.56 ammo.

From another "buy cheap Norinco thread":

A walk down the 1600rd crate pricing drop since the Norinco influx of 2011 (based on CanAm's trend-setting, free shipping movements):

July 2011 $679/crate (42 cents/rd)
July 2012 $569/crate (35 cents/rd)
Oct 2012 $499/crate (31 cents/rd)
Jan 2013 $449/crate (28 cents/rd)
Feb 2013 $399/crate (25 cents/rd...Group Buy rate)
July 2013 $399/crate (25 cents/rd...short-lived sale)
July 2013 $279/crate (25 cents/rd...1120rd crate)

To repeat those words of wisdom: "Buy it cheap and stack it deep".
