Norinco M4
- Thread starter The Cocker
- Start date
Well if they are like the Cq-311 , you can swap out uppers and lowers and bolt carries and all that , but the stock and barrel are threaded different so you need an adapter to swap that.
But I guess if the M4 copy comes with the telescopic stock you wouldnt really want to change it ?

From what I've heard, they aren't like the CQ they are much closer to an AR than the CQ. M4 feed ramps and proper threading. I think they'd make a great plinker (are these the ones that were sold to Chavez? If so, they'll be pretty reasonable copies)
It has been said many times,
all threads on the M4 copy ARE STANDARD THREADS,
NOT METRIC as the old CQ's.
I have checked these threads on few of the M4 copies
and ALL ARE STANDARD, NOT METRIC:
-barrel/barrel-extension
-barrel nut/upper receiver,
-muzzle/FH,
-buffer tube/lower receiver,
-pistol grip screw/lower receiver,
-mag catch/release button,
-front sight block/front sight post,
-carry handle cross bolts/nuts,
-rear sling loop/screw,
(maybe I forgot some, but who cares?).
The rear sight ramped "thread" on the original M4
is a special thread with a special pitch.
I have compared (by eyeballing)
the military Colt rear sight "thread" with the Chinese M4 copy
and I don't see significant diferences,
but I know that the Chinese one is calibrated
for 14.5" barrels and 62gr. BT bullets,
and it is reasonably accurate to about 300m
The Chinese M4 copy lower accepted
all standard uppers that I put on it.
These pics are of some Norinco parts compared with LMT.
This particular Norinco has about 850 rnds, the LMT is brand new.
For easier ID in all these following pics,
the Norinco parts are in the upper side or the left side of the pix.
Also, the Norinco bolt carrier is lighter in color, the LMT has a darker color.
Both carriers are chrome lined.
One aspect I don't like on the Chinese carrier is that the outside finnish
is a little rough for my taste,
but this particular gun has a very low serial number
(it is mid 2006 production).
On the newer ones,
the finnish and the overall quality are much better.
