What series is a Norinco Commander?

[joecrow]

I bought an old one for a project and some parts seem to distinguish between series 70 and series 80.

I think they are all M 70's, at least the ones I have had are., All the DA arms NP27 I sold where 70's

 

[terBC]

Agreed, the one I have is a 70 too.

 

[joecrow]

Great thanks.

All the Norc 1911's I've encountered, including full size & 'commander' size pistols have all been Series 70 types [ie devoid of the Series 80 internal firing pin block junk in them].

They might be Chi-com junk to some but at least they got that part right....lol....

Series 70s have collet barrel bushings, IIRC. I guess other than actually taking measurements of parts dimensions, it is safe to say that, the Norkie Commanders I had were similar to 70 series or the old government model. No firing pin safety plungers.

Actually I think they're Pre-70. Solid bushing, no FP "safety" no oddball levers on the grip safety. Good materials, simple design, work great.

They are a copy of the colt gvt 45 at least the old one's are
