Norinco1911a1

I also bought one in the early nineties. I was going to use the frame and slide as a start for a build as was popular at the time.

It was so reliable and was and still is very accurate the only thing I changed was a trigger job,Hogue grips and Novak sights.

One of my favorite guns.
 
Norinco m1911a1

I completely disassembled my Norinco M1911 before sending it out to get a WWII Slate Grey / green Phosphate finish

and every part was interchangable with GI parts except the grip screw bushings, any standard GI grip screw fits though

I even installed a brand new GI chrome lined barrel and it fit and functioned perfectly

the factory Norinco mags are very reliable, but I like to use GI surplus mags

the quality of the cheap plastic grips were the worst part of the NORINCO M1911A1

I replaced mine with WWII Colt brown bakelite GI grips
 
I can't speak for other Norinco owners, but mine is an A1 model.
Shorter trigger, scalloped behind the trigger guard, rounded MSH, lanyard loop, lowered ejection port. Came that way outta the box.
 
To get back on topic. The Norinco was an excellent value when you could get them around $250 and were still a solid deal when they shot up to even $400-$450. Now where you see them selling for $500 there are better opinions IMHO.

So what would that be? Springfield Mil-Spec (for a little more)?
 
I had one, the barrel shroud had a huge gap on the left hand side. I think it was .011", when good 1911's have .001" or less. Other than that it was a good gun. I should have kept it for the frame, though it may have been the frame that had the shroud fit problem built in.
