[6GunJustice]

Does anyone know the differences (if any) between the Norinco CQ-A and the CQ-B?

From what i've read the only diff is finish the A & B. Don't quote me on this though lol

 

[A.T.R.]

I believe 14.5" barrel vs 10.5" barrel.

Thanks ... I saw some in stock at a dealer labelled as CQ-B (both 14.5 & 10.5), but I just checked back and they are now changed to CQ-A ... ? So I guess it's not an issue anymore.

when I baught mine both the 14.5 and 10.5, they both have CQ-A. Its just a labeling thing. sometimes you'll see CQ-A1.

Which would you buy if you could only afford one, like me ... trying to decide which one to get?

10.5 usually needs some parts upgraded to work 100% out of the box if that makes a difference.

well the thing to look for when buying a 10.5 is ask the guy/girl at the shop to open the rifle up and take the bolt out of the carrier. ask if you can remove the extractor to check for a little rubber stamp under the ejector spring, if that rubber stamp isn't there then you defiantly are gonna have extraction problems. using the firing pin to remove the small pin that holds the extractor claw (who needs tools lol)

I would personally buy a 14.5. slightly better accuracy out of it cuz of barrel length. both run a carbine gas system. both use the same parts with the exception of the barrels.

The only thing it may need is an extractor upgrade kit which is a very cheap fix. The 10.5" models being sold now may already have the extractor issue fixed.

my 10.5 runs perfect! Bought it earlier this year from Al Flaherty's in T.O.

Buddy got a CQA 10.5", had some issues with not ejecting brass, I happened to buy years ago a baggy of extractor buffers. Threw one in, it been running flawless since.

Was like 5$ for 10.

I'm aware I was just letting him know since some people loose their #### if they have to replace a part out of the box.

I bought my 10.5 in December, got it in late January. Mine must be the factory upgraded gun, I have shot around 1000 rounds and the only issue I had was on my last outting when I forgot my mags and had to borrow a LAR-15 mag with the grey follower, I had 2 rounds not feed right and the bullet actually pushed into the case. With the factory 5 rounder and the 2 LAR-15 mags I own (orange followers) I never had a single issue EVER.
