« on: January 02, 2006, 06:20:52 PM »
I would like to find out a fair price to ask before listing for sale or trade.
Any help appreciated.

This is what I got:
It is an Exact Mil-Spec copy, all parts interchange
It is a Blued Norinco 1911 .45ACP
This is not a junk gun, very well made.

I have installed:
Chip McCormick Bevertail grip safety, Commander hammer, Disconect and Sear,
and Comp/Carry thumb safety.
Springfield Match Trigger and ejector.
Wilson full lenght guide rod and buffer and Recoil spring.
Also installed Rubber grips with finger grooves ( I think Houge ? )
Have all factory parts, plus extra new buffers and recoil springs.
Will include 4 or 5 factory mags.
I have fired less than 800 rd. through it.
It function Flawless, it is one of my Carry guns.
I am selling because I found I prefer to Carry my CZ75

Thanks in advance

Norinco's are no longer imported into the US, but they were considered to be a quality clone.  I have seen a couple of them for sale at gun shows and on the internet for ~$350.   As you point out, a lot of parts have been added to the gun, but I don't see that as increasing the value.   If you compare it to a Springfield Mil Spec, you can get most of those parts and have a gun which has a warranty and a gun that people are familar with.

I understand Norico's are still imported into Canada.  I think they go for around $350 new, but I could be wrong on that.

I'll take a stab at it and say $600. But realize that you are competing with new pistols with the same features that cost about the same or a little more.  Try browsing gunsamerica.com and gunbroker.com to see what similar guns are selling for.
