I found blueprints for a M1 garand reciever on the internet, would norinco be willing to make new garand recievers? ( i have high resolution drawings)

edit: possibly found Blueprints for the entire rifle.

they will run out soon. And when they do the prices will go up. Im looking for all the manufacturing blueprints of the m1 garand. so far found the reciever only. Maybe if the blueprints are found for the rest of the parts we can see some norinco garands?

edit: found a book that contains all of the blueprints for every single part for the m1 garand, so what can be done canadaammo?

Same as the receiver the market is not there to make it profitable

perhaps it will be in a few years when available garands dry up? if they can make the m305b for 5-600$ it shouldnt be difficult to make a garand for 5-700$. I am not sure if they already had the tooling set up for the m305b before they started selling them here. Im just brainstorming about norinco making garands here. if it cant be done then oh well.

The Norc M14 was possible because they had the tooling as they made full auto M14's for military contracts .
Same reason we have Norc AR's
The M1 Garand is a far more complicated rifle to produce than the M14 .
 
I would buy several Norinco M1 Garands. I love the rifles, and being able to have a cheap beater one would be great! I think everyone should own a Garand because they absolutely rock.
 
Good point bcshooter! But seeing as a "parts gun shooter" M1 goes for around $1400 -$1700, even if Norc could produce them with good enough quality control for $700-$1000, I think they'd be dandy. Ultimitley the cost of tooling and such will probably kill whatever hopes we have of this anyways, or drive the price higher than most are willing to pay for a commy pinko Norinco.
 
china made m14 clones as far back as the 60's I think......
but the majority of production was done in the early 90's, including the receivers of rifles sold today.
those forgings were made under lower material, labour and energy costs than we have in china today...... so I would think hoping for a Chinese garand for under a 1000 would not be realistsic. I also don't see the Canadian market being an effective driver to entice the Chinese to take up the task.

now a company like wayne machine might be able to do it, they are already tooled up for making much of the M1A rifle parts, but again, there wouldn't be any reason to expect the rifle produced to not cost well over a grand.

if it was a good idea..... some American company would have been on it much as they have done for the m14/m1a ie SEI, LRB, 7.62firearms, SAI,JRA ect
 
If they are the same quality as their m305 ( wrong thread, barrel spline off centre), then I rather spend 900$ on an old beat up beretta,sai,hr and dump an extra $1000 for restoration.

Good point. I was going to buy a M305 until I examined the quality of one at my local gun shop and read about all the problems people been having with them.
 
Norinco M14's were available and cheap because Norinco already had all the machines and tooling ready to go.
I can't see them setting up shop all over to turn out an inferior rifle and all that cost, time and effort to sell a couple thousand rifles to the tiny Canadian market.
