All the new Norinco's have that. Just sand off the burrs and machining marks inside the frame and your fine. What do you expect for 350$?
 
I racked it back a few times looked at it, and the damage was done, wish I knew I had to give it a little sand before hand...
Is this fixable?

Can I buy a new chrome slide ? Prolly cheaper.
 
This gunsmith does, and I have seen his work, very nice. Best part is, he likes Norcs. They even make one that he puts his name on, a .40 double stack. I am taking mine to him in a month or two, soon as he finishes some work on my Girsan. The only problem is because it already has a hard chrome on it, he will have to acid bath and glass bead it to get the old finish off, so a little extra. Mine would need a glass bead and polish anyway to get a nice gloss finish. You could just send him you slide, no ATT needed, so would be easy. Get a nice gloss hard chrome on the slide with the matte frame. You can get SAM Thunderbolts with matte frame and polished slide, or other way around, I can't remember, so it should look good. Anyway, here is the link. I will be going out there
in a couple of weeks, he is only a half hour from me, as soon as I get mine done, I post pictures.

has anyone had any luck changing their sights? i'd have to say thats the biggest draw back to these pistols, other than that they are great and smooth shooting.
 
Hi guys,

I am a bit of a newb when it comes to the bomar type sights on these pistols and I think I have damaged mine potentially.

I took my pistol out to the range and it needed a lot of windage adjustment to the right.
However it would only move so far (to the right) and it would not adjust anymore.... even though the rear sight had room to slide over to the right more (meaning the left side of the rear sight, was not flush with the rear elevation portion of the sight)

I did initially feel clicks when adjusting the windage, only very slight. I used some more pressure on the screw and it moved maybe another half turn (of adjustment to the right).

I decided to see how it would react on the left side, and started to adjust the windage to the left, It went all the way over to there left, where the right side of the rear sight was flush with the elevation portion of the rear sight. I adjusted left more and the screw/nut on the left side of the sight (as if you were aiming) fell out.

Should that screw be able to fall out? I screwed it back in, and found it can cause the sight to stop adjusting depending on when I attach the nut and tighten it. So i attached it fully adjusted to the right, but it can screw out quite easily now.

I pushed on the sight without this nut as well, and feel that it is spring loaded somehow... Can anyone explain this? I also was looking at the windage screw head and notice little cuts in it, I am not sure if they should be sharp (and I blunted them due to my potential over torquing, or they are normal)

It seems almost to me like that screw should be staked, so that it remains still, yet the windage screw will keep spinning, thus adjusting the rear sight left or right. However I do not know anything about the bomar sights and cannot seem to find much information on their detailed inner workings.


This leads to my second question as well..... what is the little allen set screw on the right side of the rear sight for?




Thanks!

the allen screw on the right side of the sight locks the elevation screw in place. I have fully taken apart the rear sight and its inner workings are pretty simple, dont tighten the nut too much or your windage adjustment will be limited , mine works fine but does not seem of high quality.
