Sometime this fall. Looks like Norinco filled the North Sylva order first, CanAm is next.. They'll be getting LOTS of business out of Canada for a while.

Sometime this fall. Looks like Norinco filled the North Sylva order first, CanAm is next.. They'll be getting LOTS of business out of Canada for a while.
I am confused. Why did CanAm's order not get filled first? weren't they the one's fighting for this rifle? ...and pardon me if I have just missed something along the way....so many threads and so little time......
Only people with Norinco corporate can give you a definite answer.
Don't believe you would post that...
It all comes down to Dollars and sense.
North Sylvia = Big Dollars, Big Sales (As in almost every gun store in Canada has there catalog and can order from them.)
Canada Ammo = Still a big importer but is more like a Marstar being stage. Has some retail locations and likes to deal directly to us. Hence why they always have those killer deals cause he can by-pass the middle man (AkA. North Sylvia) and pass the savings directly to us.

Heck would take two if that was the price haha. Just wishing. But even canam's price is not bad considering others are charging lot more.
Where the heck is this guy getting his info, neverland? I count 3 service rifles in the last 57 years. The Type 56, the type 81, and the 95.

This sounds like the dumb rumor that Red Dawn changed the villains from Chinese to North Korean because the Chinese government complained about it. When in reality they changed it to get into Chinese movie market. I even saw it on the news. China's movie market is second only to the U.S.' Did everyone forget MGM going bankrupt?
Rumors and the internet, figures.

I can pick off a couple easy. The type 63. The type 86s. The type 03. Designing and testing a gun does not mean it will go to full production.
So including your list, that is 6 different rifles. Wait, 7. Type 56 carbine (sks) and type 56 rifle (ak47). I'm sure they could have thought up 4 others since 1956.

He said designed and tested 11 rifles with variants of those 11 rifles being made into 30 variants. Small things, like barrel lengths, load outs etc. designed and tested does not mean fielded as regular issue.
The type 81 came in rifle and LMG. The type 97 as been made into variants.
Anyone have an issue with the gas regulator being hard to get out? I gave it a quick wipedown and the regulator came out fine, after putting about 150 rounds through it I had to pry it out as it would no longer drop free. So cleaned all the carbon off it and put it back in. Was there just too much oil left on that attracted the carbon? Any thing I can do to stop the buildup?
Still new to this.

Thanks for the video.
Easier to strip and assemble than I ever thought.
Only surprise is yes the trigger bar ca be assembled upside down with the trigger pin slot facing up instead of down as it should. Whooops! Easy enough to solve.
Thanks again Adriel.

Yep.. Same here, especially shooting the dirty Norinco ammo. 5sec fix is worth the trouble considering the savings
