So, I guess that it's official, and no more of these will be coming into the country.
With so many of them in circulation, and the fact that the guns themselves will probably last forever, has anyone heard if there will be aftermarket parts available?
It seems to me that these are almost totally a copy of the series 1 Colt woodsman. Does anyone know if the parts interchange?

I'd actually like to see this post become a resource for those of us who own these.

I doubt there will be any aftermarket parts due to the gun not being available in the states. I sold mine for the reason that there are no replacement parts anywhere.
 
How hard would it be for a machinist to make a batch of replacement firing pins, or have a batch of replacement springs made.
I also wonder if series 1 woodsman parts would work.

Given the initial cost of purchase, and the quality of the gun, Ivey to differ. I've also owned a gsg 1911, and a Phoenix arms, and both of those where total junk compared to the Norinco. I kept this gun over both of those because the gsg didn't handle high volume shooting, and the Phoenix didn't feel like it would stand up.
The Norinco has stood up to high volume shooting. I. Bought it second hand on gun nutz though, and even though the guy that I bought it from stated that he never shot it, I'm sure he dry fired it. The firing pin broke about a thousand rounds in; dry firing these things is a mortal sin due to the slim firing pin that will shatter if it is done at all. My gun is now we'll past the 6000 round Mark with no sign of undo wear other than a few tired, but still usable mags.

I completely agree about this Norinco. Mine was one of the first pistols I ever owned, and I still have it. I don't ever recall any kind of malfunction with it. And I have owned several of the American made semi's which of been junk.(I also have a Smith & Wesson 422 which is just as awesome and reliable as the Norc, though NEEDS a stripping and cleaning every 300 or so rounds, unlike the M93).
 
I stupidly just about sold 2 of my Norincos a while back, I'm glad that I came to my senses.

What replacement part? The damn thing costs less than 200 bucks, buy them in 4 packs or something.

Springs, if the firing pin ever breaks, magazines......parts do wear out. you can also no longer get them new at any price.

Well, I am keeping mine, even though I have other .22 pistols I would rather shoot. I have learned that I never have buyers remorse, but have always regretted selling guns.

Yup, Im keeping mine too.... although I did get rid of my S&W 422, and I dont regret that one (sorry, Barry..lol ) I just couldnt find anything to like about it...
 
After thinking about it, I decided to keep mine as well. I was going to not have a 22lr pistol, but then, I realized that the amount that I fired through this thing in 9mm or 45 would have bankrupt me in the time that I had it. A 22lr pistol is totally worth having.
