Norinco Luger?

[john@]

A repost of my comment from the previous thread on this pistol....

If you look at the high res photo you can see the quality is not all that good..

 

[Can-down]

Gotta love that checkering......

Holy Crap that looks like junk. Thats got to be the worst machining I have ever seen on a firearm.

Looks like a Norinco to me .
LOL

 

[TheWharGoul]

Id probably still buy it at the right price, mostly as an oddity but Id shoot it in competition just to screw with people...

 

[olansky]

id still buy one for sure its a luger little skim of bondo 10 minutes sanding then arma coat it lol

 

[mardig88]

if the price is right, i wouldnt mind getting one of these
and even a broomhandle if they decide to make some one day

If I could get one for less then $400 and the mechanical reliability was like other norinco's Iv'e owned I'd be down.
On a side note, my turds have better checkering.

Last I heard that was made by a German gunsmith as a project., and is not actually made in China.

I would think if they were actually sold in Germany by Norinco that there would be more than that one same picture.

The quality looks pretty rough, but from what I've seen the quality has gone way up on Norinco branded firearms in the last few years.
If there are any importers out there listening in, put me down for one if they actually exist.

Part of the allure of the Luger is quality.

This.^^^

I'd still be willing to try one..

 

[SCDL]

How many of you Luger owners actually SHOOT them, though? I'd be too scared of damaging one.

Just found this as well:

A restricted Walther clone would be nice, too!

 

[Deckard]

Dealers?

 

[cote_b]

If its true and they can be had at a reasonable price with a restricted barrel, I would buy one. As much as I dislike Norinco stuff and agree with many that a huge allure of Lugers is the high quality, I need to have a Luger at one point in my life.

 

[MauserMike]

I shoot mine!!!

 

[ChiliDawg]

I have two all matching Lugers that I have shot exactly once just to try it. I would buy a Norc Luger

 

[sgt.rock]

I dream of a Norc luger.

 

[jacl]

Talk about an old topic revived, that would be a pretty cool one for them to import to Canada (with restricted barrel), sure the quality wouldn't compare to the genuine lugers but you can't expect the world for the price of a norc.

I shot a friend's Luger a couple of weeks ago and it was great! Much more enjoyable than I ever could have expected. Was hitting 12" metal plates at 22 yards consistently with little effort. It's a quality firearm for sure and not something Norinco could duplicate.
