Which is better armscor or norinco

Last edited: Jul 5, Get an estimate on whet you wish to have done by a qualified smith then use that to make your decision, what you spend probably would never be recovered in resale. Myself NO I would use the funds on another. Daddy A said:. I realize this is an old post, but it may be as simple as a sear spring adjustment. Increase sear tension with leaf spring bending the sear leaf a little forward usually all you need to do. If no fix notch needs to be redone and top of sear.

It don't take much remember. Last edited: Jul 6, Thanks very much for your detailed report. I thought that Norincos were banned during the Clinton debacle, so it's good to hear they're still available. I really like the enlarged ejection port and the ambidextrous safety. Thanks again. A lesson I never forgot. I don't know what you paid for your Norinco, but I do know that they are worth considerably more now, then they were.. I f you want to build a custom or "race" gun, it'd be a good starting point.

I believe the issue you have is a very minor thing.. Check Gunbroker, to see what sellers are asking for theirs.. Joined Oct 8, Messages 4. I had a Norinco back in the 90's when they were cheap and plentiful. I still kinda miss that gun. Accuracy out of the box was a little poor to say the least. After that, it shot as well as any I have ever owned, shooting 1 hole groups at 15 yards all day long. It always functioned, and never gave me any issues.

I got much more into nicer 's and parted ways with it. It is also likely to be a decent shooter for you. I would say to try and correct the issue you're having and either enjoy it, or let someone else enjoy it. Joined Apr 18, Messages Isn't Norinco Chinese? Kevin Rohrer said:. What type of good magazine should I test? I found that the mag springs were weak causing feed problems. This place has great prices on mags.. I'd suggest trying a few different brands , to see if you or your pistol like a particular brand.

Joined Mar 11, Messages I have a friend who had a Norinco which we call his "pachinco" that had the same problem with doubling. He took it to a local Smith who fixed the doubling problem but discovered the barrel lugs did not properly mesh with the lugs in the slide The smiff fixed it and it shoots fine now As to a little rattle in the gun loose slide I would not let that bother me at all To me the Armscor Rock Island etc.

I recommend them highly. Last edited: Sep 12, You must log in or register to reply here. Latest posts. Jokes and funny memes User Panel. Login Register? I gave the Armscorp one a lookover and noticed the receiver was one of the M21 type receivers with the rear lug I am definitely not an expert on these rifles and the rifle looks very good externally, albeit the FH has a little side-to-side play.

Polytech M14S rifles are far and few in between and an LRB receiver build is way out of my budget; I could go for an SA, but I would prefer this one because it has the rear lug which in my uneducated opinion is better for a DMR build.

Armscorp M14 type receivers were made in the USA. I have a non-lugged receiver and it is the foundation of a great rifle. Polytech M14S rifles are far and few in between.

Ok, is it a National Ordnance or a Federal Ordnance? I have several friends that have service rifles built on Armscorp receivers, all shoot well, no issues,. Good; so I am on the right track The Armscorp M14 receiver production ceased in March The Government of Taiwan received a complete set of inspection gages and machine tool fixtures from the U.
