Norinco CQ-A ejection issue

[faizi]

Hi guys,
I fired around 150 rounds from my Norinco yesterday.What I noticed that it was throwing empties only 4-5 feet away.
is this normal???

what barrel length ? it makes a difference. You need the extractor "upgrade for some 10.5 rifles. Its an O-ring and a stronger spring to help with the ejection on short AR's.

It has 14.5" barrel.

Sounds about right, until it stops extracting keep on enjoying your annihilating power

The distance seems normal. I own the same rifle and noticed a difference in ammo used. Steel case, brass, 223, 5.56 they all eject slightly differently. I did have a hard ejection problem with steel case. The cases don't expand enough and blow back accumulates in the chamber eventually causing jams. I have cured the problem by adding 1 brass round every 5th. This self cleans the chamber. They say you can do 1-10 but I like 1-5. You really see the black crud on the spent brass. Best to shoot brass only if available but bulk brass ammo at a good price is hard to come by these days.
