Norinco M4 CQ5.56 Reliability - You Decide

Got mine about a month ago and haven't had much time, but put 100 rounds through it and must say I LOVE IT.
My first AR and am so glad that I bought it I would suggest to anyone intrested to get one you won't be disapointed.
 
I've just finished putting the 1800th round thru my Norc.
Ended up buying a cheap dot sight (1X) and took it out to the range tonight to sight it in. (Barska 1x30 M16 Sight
Tactical Red Dot - ACOG looking thingy).

Spent the first 40 rounds trying to pretend it was a "normal" scope with my rounds all over the place. It wasn't until I took a couple of quick shots at a 3' diameter steel plate at 200 yards and heard the ting of hits that it occured to me I might be trying to shoot it like a conventional scope (which it is not).

Figuring I had nothing to lose I decided to try and shoot a 12" wide by 18" high gong at 200 yards with the stupid thing (At 1X there wasn't a whole lot to aim at). The only thing going for me was someone had painted it yellow so it sort of was visible in the fading light.
Rather than getting the perfect sight picture I decided to squeeze off rounds as soon as I got a decent sight picture. After two ranging shots (12 o'clock hold) I decided to dump the last 8 rounds from rest into the gong. Wasn't expecting much as the barrel was hot and my previous attempts at grouping sucked (6" at 100 yards all over the place). Was using Fiocci factory ammo.

Nobody was more surprised than me when I proceeded to hit with all eight rounds shooting at a cadence of about 1 round every 1.5 - 2.0 seconds. I actually sped things up on the last 3 rounds as I figured there was no way I'd hit all 8 rounds.

Why do these things all ways happen when you're the only one on the range?
When I went to inspect the gong the group was 8" wide by 12" high.

Yes!

I am one happy camper at this moment :)
Keep replaying the hits in my mind - still can't believe I got this lucky - must of been a good Karma day!

I have yet to see any real problems with these rifles. The one second hand report of feeding issues involves handloads of unknown quality. If anyone does experience issues with appropriate ammunition, please post them. (Appropriate means; 55 gn or heavier, factory ammo or reloads reliable in other factory AR15s with a normal OAL )
 
Awesome! Thanks for the link. I remember hearing something about this but I wasn't sure, you never know about something you just "hear".
 
Holy smokes! I thought the M1 Garand is one of like two semis that are allowed to have more than 5 rounds in a mag. So most of you guys are buying LAR15 mags? Will buy a Norc or something eventually, I'm going to buy one or two of these and a 5/20 and 5/30 for looks. :)

I don't get our laws man. Just make semi autos 10 rounds like handguns. For starters, pinning SKS is sad, scratched out serial #, done the lazy way.

I bought a bunch of LAR15s and PMAGs. At first I just used the LARs but now I really only ever use the PMAGs.
 
what we need is a ruling from a sitting judge in our favor, i would like to have 10 at least, would have made sense to me. and less pinning of mags.
that would have left the sks, grands alone. hell unrestrict anything over 181/2 in and semi only.
