ONE MOMENT PLEASE;
Norinco is NOT producing any ARs at this time....
YES they have examples on their site....
We will import them if and when they are produced

I think given enough $$$ Norinco would make just about anything. I bet they monitor this site too ;) Well it has been my experience that companies don't put kewl looking rifles on thier website to show you what a kewl gun looks like compared to theirs. So I am looking forword to seeing this one once it is produced. If the finish is better then the Paint on the CQ I may pick one up as a beater.

The funny thing is, the more I try to crunch the numbers the least it seems to add up.

When you consider that the Chinese have to import the raw materials, have practically no commercial CNC capability to speak of, then there's the whole issue to export from China, transporation to Canada, import in Canada, everybody that comes within sight of the thing tries to make a buck ot two (gotta pay the bills after all) etc... Even with lower individual wages, seems to me like this would be offset by the extra people needed to compensate for their lack of technology... How much does the U.S. military pay for an M-16 ? (since they pay 1200$ for a hammer worth about 10$, that gives you an idea of what an AR is really worth). So the Chinese varieties sell for about 700$, and the western versions about twice as much ... hmmm .. what gives ?

You have to remember - things don't always sell for the price they are 'worth', they sell for the price they command!

Look at the damn "Pasta Express" they are selling on TV for $19.99.... it's a damn tall plastic cup for pete's sake!!!! Cost of manufacture is less than $1.00. But they sell them for $19.99... well, mostly because people are idiots. :D

the $1200 hammer and other uber priced tools are special alloy tools. they are a type of metal that doesn't spark or rust. the no spark thing is kinda important when servicing missle and bombs.

kinda makes you wonder if they use the CNC machines they sell to us to make these firearms.
