I have two .45 caliber Norinco 1911 A1 copies of the Colt 1911 A1 pistol. I picked them up in the mid '80's when they were almost giving them away. Most people who thought they knew all about them almost laughed at me when I mentioned I bought them for about $150.00 They said why in the world would you buy that Chinese junk ?? I don't think I've fired a full mag. through either of them. Shortly after I bought them I was assigned to positions overseas. I applied a liberal coat of gun grease over the Norincos and put them away, almost forgetting I had them in my safe. The way things look now, Norinco guns will likely never be imported into the US again. I also have a .22 Norinco Olympia pistol I think I've shot one or two mags. of .22 LR through and a 9mm Norinco Mod. 213 copy of the Russian TT 30 pistol My two shooter SKS pieces are Norinco also.
I'm wondering under current political conditions if Norinco firearms, especially Norinco copies of the 1911 A1 pistols will attain a collector's status in a few years. Does anyone else have such thoughts?? Thanks for your opinions.
