One of our Canadian members got a Chinese M4 clone a few years ago and did a review. The pictures are no longer hosted unfortunately.

I wonder how much of a piece of shit that thing is If it's anything like the Norinco 1911s, then it's probably not a piece of shit at all. It's not like machining an AR is rocket science.  Exactly, Norinco is one of the few chinese manufacturers that is on par with american made. I'd take a norinco 1911 anyday over a Kimber, and their M14s are pretty nice as well. I would really like to get my hands on some of their sub guns.

Commando units of many countries use M16/C7/M4 rifles. Jeez, I wonder why?  This is the truth. Pretty much any special unit that has leeway to choose whatever long arm they want uses an M4 / M16 variant. I saw this in AFG with Poles, Brits, Germans, Aussies and Kiwis. I am sure there were others, but those were the ones I saw up close. |

Last pic shows the carrier sticking out of the upper and the back end of the carrier is wonky/has a weird downward flaring piece that looks like it wouldn't fit into the buffer tube.  That's the back end of the forward assist. Every pic of the right side of their rifles shows a round forward assist not the older tear drop type forward assist.

These photos are were purportedly taken by a Chinese Private Military Contractor of other Chinese PMCs protecting Chinese interests in Burma. Chinese businesses own a lot of farm land and many quarries on the Burmese side of the border which are used to fuel the Western Chinese economy.

I wonder how much of a piece of shit that thing is Norinco made some pretty high quality stuff for the US market - great AKs, great M14Ss, and some very good Browning .22 copies among others. Chinese industry doesn't innovate very well, but they are exceptionally good at copying things. |
