Section 8: Handguns Subject: Norinco 1911 Msg# 1029543

The Nork was indeed a good base gun and cheaper than the Colts and Springfields to boot. Before their importation was cut off, gunsmiths here were saying that they met mil-spec criteria including hardness and were excellent candidates for customization!

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: They were equal to, or better than most US made 1911s, in fit, accuracy and reliability. They were only made to feed ball ammo like everything else those days. I had a Springfield GI model from the same era that I certainly would not have traded for a Nork. Colts had started improving ever since the Series 80 models and Colts in the 90s worked pretty well. Most of the junk from the 70s was no longer made. In my opinion, the Norinco was a good base gun, but so was the Colt and especially the Brazilian-made Spfld. |
