Norinco CQ-A Missing magazine?

[BigMofoFrog]

I've ordered a Norinco CQ-A from Frontier (chose them as I've ordered a few things from them before- great service so far) and, was delivered today, opened the box to find that the magazine is missing (advertised to come with 1), anybody else having this happen? I'll have to call them tomorrow to get it sorted out, I'm sure it won't be a problem, maybe the next guy in line just got two... Can't do much with it right now without LTATT or Mag...

Otherwise, I was pleasantly surprised as it looks pretty nice for half the price of the "domestic" variety.

The Norc mags were apparantly not up to spec and not allowed in. 5 round Bushmaster mags were subbed at the importers. This one seems to have been missed. Call the dealer you bought it from and I'm sure it will be made good.

That would explain it, thanks eos.

Let us know what he says he is a good guy he should take care of you!

As soon as we get our mags back everyone will have theirs shipped to them. Simple simple.

The norc mags are little more than a p.o.s. paperweight anyway. Your not missing out on anything.

Update, called today, mag is on the way. No problems whatsoever and they were great to deal with too.

Spoke to Badger Arms Supply and they had a similar response, it was a border issue and everyone else should only have 1 mag as well. I told them the site is a bit misleading.. The missing Norc mag isnt a big deal in my opinion anyway especially at $699 and I hear the mags are crap.

Overall how do you like the gun? Fit and finish wise

Mine came with a LAR mag

Impressed, the finish and markings on the lower receiver are different from the pictures I've seen of older CQ-A's. Mine was from the latest shipment (in June). Will post pics in a different thread once I get home.
