Norinco M4

#1bcshooter said:
Maybe Marstar's M4's are specially made for Marstar & will have a better fit & finish than the ones that are now here for sale , John always said his M14's were specially made for HIM by Norinco (even though Norinco dose not actually make guns )
To bad Can Ammo couldn't get a run of these marked ( Dominion Arms M4 )
For someone who wants to get there first AR @ $890.00 they are the lowest price available right now . I don't need another one that bad right now . But if Marstar's price difference is like they did for the M14's I guess I'll be making room for one more AR .
Guess we will see in a couple months

CanAm has noted several times that the shotgun factory in China that he uses is the only one with its own export license. Notice that all his pistols are marked Norinco instead of DomArms

The "US" isn't everything that Canadian's think it is...

In the US they have what's called CLASS III firearms. These were created (essentially) if memory serves me right in 1934 by the NFA (National Firearms Act) and includes everything from full auto machine guns to short barrel shotguns and short barrel rifles. Any rifle with a barrel under 16" is a CLASS III firearm.

These aren't exactly prohibited but they are highly restricted. First, you have to pay a $200 tax stamp to own one (it's for each gun). Next you have to be approved by the Federal Governement to buy each CLASS III firearm you want (usually takes a few months for each application). Most important you have to live in a State that allows you to possess CLASS III firearms (not all States allow this).

The Americans can't believe when I tell them that we have all the 7", 10.5" 11.5", 14.5" AR's we want and there's no difference between a 7" AR and a 24" AR in this country. They get around it by having what are classified as AR Pistols.

But to have a legal AR pistol it has to be manufactured as an AR Pistol (the receiver) and you can't add a stock, etc. to it. The moment you put a stock on an AR pistol or add a vertical foregrip to it you've created a CLASS III firearm and committed a felony.

This is the same for a handgun. If you take a Glock and put a foregrip on it you've created a CLASS III firearm and comitted a felony unless you first applied for a CLASS III registratio for the gun and paid the $200 tax stamp.

Their laws are as screwed up as ours. Some stuff may be nice (I agree) but some stuff really sucks.

wow , I never knew that , I guess , well no I know that you are right , thanks for the info! I guess both countries have their advantages and disadvantages!
 
This rifle looks like a good buy! Of course, looks do not matter much to me. My most accurate AR is a SGW/Oly that looks like it was finished by a kindergarten student hopped up on Red Bull... shoots like a hot damn! A few years ago I spent a year gathering parts off the EE and dealers and managed to assemble an AR15 for about 850 bucks. 895 bucks for a complete rifle that one can have in a week or so is a pretty good deal for people on a budget or new shooters. The 600ish bucks one saves by buying the norinco can get one a pile of ammo, reloading equipment or 4 PMAGS... :)
 
PMAGS...

I also noticed on levers site they do say that the finish is not that great on them so I dont see why all the fuss about the finish , its not like they are selling them and not telling people about the finish!
 
sounds like my m4 will be getting the VTR matt black engine block rattle can treatment. - just like my old CQ .... looked waaaay better
 
Okay, okay... The FIRST CGN to get their hands on one of these Norinco M4's needs to post a comprehensive fit & finish review, followed up by a range report for accuracy!!!

Really looking forward to some reviews by fellow CGN'ers.

Cheers

P.S. The second thing that is really killing me is; "WHAT will Marstar's price be???" I'm with Claven2 on this one, $600 is a good prediction for Marstar's pricing!!!
 
If anyone in Metro Van wants to compare their norinco to the IDS shorty carbine, let me know, we can do a range comparison and some pics to see all the differences.

"I have a feeling marstar will charge an insane price for those Norc M4s..."

Well thank you for the vote of confidence.... I was asked how much we would charge, I said that the price would be under $800....

What is the problem, has not Marstar offered the best deals around ??

Remember what you were paying for M-14s before we got involved.... ?

Always nice to have your support....
