Norinco NP48 Canadian availability?

[Money Cop]

Hi Guys,
I’ve discovered that Norinco makes the NP48, 1911 in 40s&w.
Is there a reason I can’t seem to find a supply in Canada?
Will these ever be brought in by Marstar?
Thanks!

I won't link to a non-sponsor, but doesn't Dark Intl sell pretty much what you're describing?

Yep, looks like they have one for $650 & Wolverine has a SAM that was on for $400, but recently increased to $450. I would hold out for a Norc around the $350 price point, if it were available. And I figured if anyone could get one...it's John/Marstar!

I bought the Sam .40 when it was $400, great deal. Fit and finish is nicer than on the norc

No comparision really, much better quality there.

If I can't find a used one, I guess I'll havta jump on the SAM before they increase the price again?
...looks like I've already learned a $50 lesson on procrastination.

Ouch...they're at $525 now.
Note to self, "If you're adding it to the shopping cart, you might as well check out."

Check out Dark International, they have custom tuned Norinco NP30 in 40SW, which they called Dark 40. It's custom fit, double stack, 10 rounds configuration. About 650$ CAD. SAM's material and durability have no match in with Norc

Thanks.

Also, in case anyone's interested...John tells me Norinco isn't manufacturing the NP48 "at this time".

Oh, please. When's the last time you wore out a SAM?

Probably on a slow boat from China, with the 3 containers of Chinese pistols.

Thanks John!

Wear out a SAM faster than a Norinco. Yes maybe, but I don't think I'll live long enough for that to be a deciding factor. I'll enjoy all the other pluses of a SAM in the meantime. Buy the time I wear out my SAM, it won't owe me anything.

Like John said before, dealing with military surplus is slow business. Of course it's worth it in the end to me lol got my Tula arsenal SKS from marstar and she shoots like a dream. Only had one round that didn't eject all the way out of 80 shots tha day so I assume that more to do with the ammo than the rifle. Thanks for the great rifle Marstar!

I checked out there Web sight....lots of High Priced 12.6 guns, a 45 that looks like the same one Can am was selling "but more expensive". So whats the deal ? They sell Chinese guns with DARK enscribed instead of Norinco and they ask more money for the same gun ?? I'm not seeing it.
