Had to see what one looked like...............

 

[Scarecrow]

You will see these for sale in Vancouver by summer time.

At the price they charge for the norinco service pistol I'll wait. Probably cost over a K.

 

[Longshot]

I don't know what pricing will be but my guess is in $600-$800 range.

 

[Leonidas]

The one that sold on the board sold for 2k+!

I'd buy a non-restricted one for $800ish.

 

[Slavex]

wasn't super impressed by the on Van Nostram had out, but I am sure some of you'll like it.

 

[northwind]

yep,it is kind of impressive,eh?

We will see some in Vancouver soon.

 

[Thor]

Can't wait!!

Sweet!!

Can't wait. Hope they are unrestricted!!

 

[JeffMan]

How much?

Do they take AR mags?

What is the satus? Resticted / non-restricted?

Any other info would be nice like accuracy and so forth.

...but... aren't bullpups prohibited?







JK!

Is it some big secret as to who's bringing them in? It's not Lever is it?

 

[Longshot]

From what I can tell they aren't non restricted ,but they are working on getting a non-restricted version.Whether it comes through or not is another story.

 

[Calum]

Those are normally 3 shot burst/full auto, so they would have to do some work on the insides to make a non restricted, which would not be hard to do, and if they do I'm selling some guns to get one.

 

[Calum]

Call John at Marstar. He is the biggest Canadian importer of Norc stuff.

So is anyone with a pulse and a guaranteed bankers cheque.
Just keep your paperwork in order, or demurrage at the docks will kill your bank account.

 

[Skullboy]

UGH...........FUGLY..... .........Think I'll pass on one of those............

SKBY.

Holy Double Negative Batman!



Those things are Ugly as sin! I'll keep my pennies in my pocket.

Export model is semi-auto as evident by the 2 of them that where sold here.

 

[palinak]

Yup semi restricted for the few that are here and as Mr.Longshot mentioned non restricted are being manufactured.

Actually not a double negative....batman

 

[Longshot]

Supposedly there is a longer barreled "Sniper" version which may or may not make its way here.

I agree that it's fugly and would be better suited with a picatinny on top.But when we looked at it and took it apart we found that it wouldn't be that hard to make it so ourselves.I think it would be great fun as a tac carbine and/or bush gun if it manages to get here in non-restricted.Here's hoping so.

 

[slicknick]

If they sell in the same range as an Cz 858 ($700-800) I'd grab one in a heartbeat. Anything more and I'd have to go AR for available parts.

As for the looks, I dunno. The more I look at it the more I'm starting to like it.

We will see some in Vancouver soon.

Just how soon we talking? And which dealer will have them? I personally want one of these, 'specially if it's NR. But I'll settle for a restricted version.
