That's probably cheaper than the EE
I ordered 3. oh lawds I done won the lottery..
You are probably right ,whats with the crazy prices on the ee, sks that I can get untouched for $169. fom tradeex and the EE guy wants $350 . By the way I was just kidding about selling,it will make a cool conversation piece if nothing else,,,unless he's serious about paying $300. ;0)
so asking if something is sold out is now trolling??
btw checked their site again... yes its sold out. i was waiting for some guys to get them and find out what the problems were before "pulling the trigger" on the purchase.
great markup, but yet still under the MSRP
i love the un modified "NIB - only used twice at the range"
glock17 for $900 +shipping... new they are what? $700 and some shops had them on sale for $650 ish around christmas.i dont know about you guys, but ive had a few pistol days at the range where my sig has seen 400+ rounds..so 2 range days is far from new.
I should have bought more than one. I've had three friends offer to buy mine, and it hasn't even come in the mail. If it is a POS I'll sell it to one of them, and tell them my fiance is making me sell it when she found out I bought another gun.

These have been sold out since like page 3
What's wrong with it? Mine didn't work out of the box but a after few hours of tinkering, it's running 100% now.

So I am clearly not the only one who is confused about the fact that used things are being sold for more than new things?
On another note, I should be getting my 2 Norcs today, hope they shoot or it's gunsmithin' time.
Just got mine,no extra one :0( . looks like it was cycled a few times cause the is blueing wear on the mag tube,cycles ok bead is off to the left on mine and barrel is a bit too. will take her apart tonight and start cleaning and honing. Some of you guys that know what they are doing should lead the way on this one , perhaps on the shotgun site with tutorials or video!
Cool looking gun though!

The Ups man just came and dropped off a pair of cosmoline soaked Norinco 780s plus some ammo.
After I used half a can of brake cleaner to remove the cosmoline and tinkered for 5 minutes here is what I have to say.
Did I get a $300 shotgun for $90...no
Did I get a $200 shotgun for $90...no
Did I get a $150 shotgun for $90...yes.
For what I paid, I am very happy, they will make excellent ranch/farm/barn/truck guns that you don't care about and can throw around.
Are they pretty,no, is the bead centered, no. the exterior seems very well built and heavy as hell, the internals appear to be another story however. If I had to compare them to anything, it would be that of a powerfist tool, will get the job done, just not as well built as a snap on tool.
Here is a pic of the two next to my Mossberg Maverick 88 aka Mexican Mossberg 500.
Is it comparable quality wise to the Mossberg, well no, however I am damn happy to have a working shotgun for $90. As long as everyone respects the price they paid for it and is willing to tinker a bit, they will be happy.
Bottom line: SFRC gave an accurate and honest description of the gun and everyone who received one should be pleased.

Just finished cleaning the cosmoline off of mine. Once she was cleaned and oiled I ran some snap caps through to check how it worked, and so far so good. Loaded and unloaded without any hitch, no tinkering required.
The fit and finish does leave something to be desired, but as far as I can tell she functions like a beauty. I'll run a couple boxes of shells through it this weekend. It will make a great truck gun, I have a feeling I'll take a few grouse with this thing next fall.

Bummer. I tried the barrel from mine on an 870 and vise versa. They are definitely different. You could be lucky with bolts or bolt parts being swap-able. I just did my trigger group and the parts appear similar....but a bit different.
mine came in today..... and this is what i found when i disassembled it to clean it
Wonder if there is a parts supply for these or if this could be fabricated?

You can probably get someone to weld that for you for less than $20.
