Norinco CQA M4 Carbine 14.5" .223Rem

because of it's "better annihilating firepower"

I'd say the cqa is worth it just for that manual!!!

I wonder what norinco sells them for. Can't be a very big market out there. Must be a tidy profit being made by the middle man.

And the M&P honestly worth every single penny

I personally have both and while I agree with you the M&P has a much better finish it always felt so cheap in my hands, like a toy would. When I hold the Norinco, it just feels better built.

Granted the Norinco came scuffed up just like the picture and some of the anodizing looks like paint, but damn it shoots anything I give it without any complaints. Plus I love the carry handle and the barrel profile on the Norinco, not to mention that I don't have to worry about getting it scuffed or scratched from use.

Both are great guns, but between the two I would take my Norinco. Just my $.02.

If you get the Norinco get ready for lots of snobby looks and comments though. It really gets a lot of hate at the range.

Including the phone or computer you are posting this reply on. Made in China doesn't mean garbage.

It was what I paid, the painted version. So the dealer cannot deal with Norinco anymore because of the low quantity ordered with high profit margin. I see another dealer following that path now.
