NORINCO VALUE
« on: February 22, 2005, 01:12:37 PM »
Several years ago I bought two Chinese Norinco 45's.  I've never taken them out of the box.  What are they worth.  If memory serves me I think I paid $189.00 each.

I'm gonna guess about what you paid, and upwards towards $250.

I paid $279.99 or so for my Norinco 1911A1 back in 1993.

Check with the guys over on m1911.org.  They have a Norinco forum and there seems to be quite a bit of interest in the guns if you are thinking of selling them.  44 Man

Would agree with what night0334 said, maybe a little more depending.

Are these in the Styrofoam/box or Plastic/Slip Sleeved box?

Sent you a PM, you have my interest if you are offering these.

Regards,

Richard

Norinco Price

I paid $189.00 at the Ammo Store in Mesquite, Texas.  The store was going out of business. The box is brown cardboard.  There is an extra clip, a tool and a skimpy manual.  I'm not trying to sell them, would just like to know what their worth.

For a real look at what they are valued at I would reccomend checking the auctions.  I myself am looking for a new one in the box that doesn't looks so crappy.  I have seen a few used and a few new.  The last new one I saw was missing the manual and the tools that come with them.  I would say that depending on who is looking $350 - $400.  Hope this helps.

RELIABILITY
« Reply #6 on: February 25, 2005, 12:55:42 PM »
I've been all over this internet checking out the Norinco 1911A1.  They say their ugly, have soft barrels, show tool marks and won't shoot as accurate as some $650 1911 clones.  Not once did I read they were not reliable.  Hey folks, reliability is what I'm after.  As a matter of fact some said they operate better under adverse conditions than the original 1911's.  CHEAP does not always mean no good.

Triple chromed barrels are not generally soft... and as far as them being junk... From what I have read, they are the opposite.  Made of extremely hard steel, enough slop to shoot under bad conditions...  they may not be target accurate out of the box but they are good enough.  I have read where they were base guns for popular smiths to build full blown customs on.  People like Bill Wilson and the like.  I would say that you have two really nice guns and it should be time to take them out and see how they shoot.
