It’s a nice little rifle. I had a Romanian M-69, but the workmanship was rough to the point of distraction. I eventually traded it off. When I saw that Norinco, it brought back memories of happier, pre-ban times. I guess that’s why I still buy up any Norinco 7.62x39mm ammo I happen to run across, although it seems a bit costlier nowadays!
So what I'm hearing is that Norinco is putting out quality products to compete with the rest of the industry, it only makes sense that they would improve thier products to compete, junk quality products do have a way of disapearing from the for offer shelvs.
