I know that the U.S. will not allow Norinco/Poly Tech M-14's to be imported from China. Perhaps someone could set up a Canadian/Taiwanese/American subsidiary to import parts or whole guns to the U.S. Marstar has beautiful M-14's with forged recievers and chrome lined barrels for $399 ($322 U.S. funds)...it would be great to have Sarco or Tapco do some kind of business venture to bring whole guns or parts in legally. Any ideas on this????

The recievers alone would be worth that much. 'Course, thats probably all you'd want to keep anyway.

Ya, known about cheap Norincos up in Canada for a while now. Even tried to lure a few notheren neighbors down for a hunt on the ranch for Elk. The only stipulation was they had to leave their rifle behind. 8O :lol: No takers yet. On the other hand Lou wouldnt be to happy about these Norincos reaching the USofA

Canada manufactures M1A receivers and imports them into the US already.

I don't see it happening. Norinco or Polytech would have to manufacture some parts here and probably assemble some here. Whatever Beretta did with Interarms, I don't no what the loop holes are exactly. Or, we would have to repeal the gun act that banned evil firearms from being imported here. Either way, we wouldn't ever see those prices in the U.S.. I guess they are so cheap in Canada because there just aren't many countries that they can sell to legally. 15 years ago a new Polytech was going for around $900 here :roll: .

Image of a Norinco M-305 mated to a Sparrowhawk stock. I have two other Norincos and an M1A. My hunter M-305 and the Sparrowhawk consistantly outshoot the other 2 (M1A and my wife's 'Rinc sniper). All rifles use the same load so I assume it's the optics. Different scopes for different folks. Of the 2 good shooters 1 is bedded and one is not. Same goes for the other 2 (M1A bedded).

All in all I would have to say the Norincos are a great buy. Hell, for $399.00 CDN, add 3-400 dollars to trick it out with whatever, keep the loads below 168 gr., treat it the same way you would any other of your firearms and you have an outstanding shooter.

As an American who happens to now live in Canada, I guess you all can see my love affair with the M-14 that started in the 60's still lives on at an affordable price.

Pappa Bush's '89 import ban would prohibit the importation of these rifles and their receivers, since the BATFE inteprets the receiver as being the same as the actual firearm. WRT SA Inc's importing from Canada, a Canadian company does the casting and SA Inc does the final machining in Illinois, so they aren't actually importing a receiver since it isn't finished.

As for importing other Norinco parts, Dubyah has a ban on importation of all Norinco products, as they have been selling missile technology to Iran, Pakistan and other countries that are trying develope nukes and the capibility to deliver them. Given the administrations support for a renewal of the AWB, don't look to them to make any loopholes so that us "evil assuault rifle owners" can get spare parts for our "evil assualt weapons."

wow

it looks like there is at least one thing "right" about canada !

 

[target4fun]

what if one was to go to canada and buy one and come back home too the Good ol USA. I know Canada has some bad gun control laws so dont think it would work but a m1a for 300 ... thats nice

You could always get your FFL to declare the import as a Polytechnical Miss Norinco gas operated semi automatic shoulder fired firearm, weighing about 9 1/2 pounds unloaded and see what they say. If they say no , ask why not, my buddy next door had no problems getting his. (Only do this if you hate the guy next door) :lol: :lol: :lol:
