One never knows when the opportunity to sweep the trench of the Hun presents itself.
Negative, it arrived today and I tested it in the side yard.
It's built like a tank like most Norincos.
Here is a better picture.
It seems a bit dry and needs a good soaking if oil.
I'd say it's one of the best buys I've had on CGN.
It's built tough and surprisingly smooth.
I've spent more on a steak dinner than I did on this.
I haven't figured out what the muzzle threads are for, it has a thread protector also.
The folding stock hinge design could hold up a building.
Neat find. Id advise a teardown and cleaning, but for sure add a drop of green locktight to the smaller lockscrew. I had mine fall out after a session of breaking clays and had to order a spare from Numrich. Like the look of the heatshield and folding stock

I love my norincos. Had the little semi 22 pistol. Loved it, kicking myself for selling it.

I have some of that, best polish there is in my opinion.
Ive already stripped this, polished up some internals and removed machine tool marks, applied purple loctite to where the trouble spots are and applied grease and oil as I saw fit.
It shoots great, feeds and ejects without issue.
Polishing those big sides might be a good way to spend this stormy Sunday.
I have owned a few Norks over the years; their bolt action .22s were surprisingly and consistently accurate, including the "Scorpio". I still own one of their 1911s, satin chrome finish, adjustable target sight set up; accurate, reliable and fun to shoot for IDPA. I also have a Two-tone NZ85B; also great gun for IDPA; reliable, tight, accurate. I would have bought both this shotgun and their 870 clone when they were available. Those who have them don't seem to sell them.

One of the more expensive and disappointing guns i ever owned was a Springfield M1A.
It was ok for accuracy ( minute of M1A)
but the quality was ####.
Had a soft bolt and the bolt lugs were peening over. Springfield acknowledged that there was an issue with that s/n range and the bolt heat treatment was faulty.No way to access the recall program from Canada and had i sent the gun to the US it would have been ineligible to leave the US back to me.
I eventually sold the rifle to a fellow who collected them. He knew the full story and i gave him all the correspondence from Springfield. Paid me what i had paid for it and seemed to be happy.
My 305 ran and ran and was actually a bit more accurate,paid under 500 for it new.
Extremely close since the Stevens 350s were made in China.

2-3 months ago. I asked him about it because I couldn't believe it either. I dont recall exactly what it was. But I think it was He compared ice agents to certain Europeans from during the 1940s I believe in jest.
