Why get a LMT over stag over norc?

That question doesn't even deserve a straight answer.


Yeah dood just get the Norinco, it's the same gun as the LMT... NOT.
 
They let Norinco M4 knock offs into the country, but they don't let the Norinco SVD's into the country? Norinco SVD's are very nice. Laws gota change.

I've had my Norinco M4 for a couple of weeks and it is the only way I would ever have owned an AR platform. Worth every penny. That said, the trigger really sucks. I don't have any knowledge regarding the merits of the premium M4 brands, but I know a s**tty trigger when I pull one.

A rough trigger is not exclusive to Norc (no, I'm not saying LMT/Noveski/Stag have crappy triggers) but I smoothed it out by following this advice by Longshot. It worked really well for me.

Don't waste your time and money on a new one. Give yourself a .25 cent trigger job!

How do you do it you say?

Stage #1
Take off your upper. Find a piece of para cord or other similar rope/twine. Put said para cord under the hammer. #### the hammer. Pull straight up on para cord as hard as you can while squeezing the trigger slowly. Trigger will be extremely hard to pull. If it is you know you're doing it right. Eventually trigger will break and the hammer will go forward. DON’T let the hammer slam into the frame. Enough of this will dent the aluminum and make it so your bolt catch does not function. Repeat as much as necessary. Put back on the upper and try it holding the rifle as per normal.

Stage #2
Enjoy your new smooth trigger.

Note:
This method does NOT change the trigger weight. What it does do is smoothes out the pull so you don't notice the weight.
There are other options including honing the sear, but I have never really had to after using this method.
Doing this has smoothed out the triggers on all the rifles I have shot in competition including 2 second place CFSAC finishes, a third place at NSCC and a good showing at Bisley. You DON'T need a fancy light trigger on these guns to make them shoot. Save your money for practice ammo!
 
Currently own both the LMT (16" MRP) and Norc (14.5") and put over 10k rounds through each. Advantages of an LMT over my Norky:

- vastly better fit and finish throughout with tighter tolerances
- much better quality components that should yield, on average, lower failure rates
- much better trigger (although the Norky smoothed out with use)
- slightly better inherrent accuracy of the rifle
- slightly better reliability (the LMT yet has to FTF and FTE)

In saying so, the Norky retails for $700 whereas a comparable LMT retails for more than double that. Is the LMT twice the rifle ? Maybe for some who demand bleeding edge performance, but the Norky is an excellent starter rifle that won't break the bank and still perform within 80% of the LMT. YMMV.

My suggestion: Take the cost of ammo into consideration and get what you can comfortably afford. Of-course, if budget permits, get the LMT and don't look back :D
 
My opinion, for what it's worth, if you are new to AR's the Norc is great because you can put the difference in purchase price into ammo.

However if you like nice guns, the norc's fit and finish just isn't as good as others.
