hallo to everybody, I live in Italy and I've a great passion for guns; I've two Norinco: M16 A1 (changed in A2 with Cavalry Arms parts) and M14, an L1A1 Fal, and 2 cal. 12; a semiauto Tanfoglio Force L and a Glock 17 (all pistols 9mm.). Now I want take a Norinco 1911 45 acp, do you can let me know some web-sites to buy for custom and shipping in Italy? Someone can help me?
Sorry for my english....
Have a great day!
Ciao from Italy :)

I do not know much about American laws pertaining to exportation of firearms, but I believe that any person or company seeking to export even a single firearm has to have an export license. And I doubt very much that the custom gunsmiths have it. Also, as you may or may not know, the importation of Norincos into the U.S. has been illegal for a number of years.

I am certain they are available in Europe, but I can't direct you to a specific web site. Sorry.

quity, hello, sounds like you have greater avalibility to the produts than
the US market does. I have heard of the AR-15 clones from Norinco. I
bet they are nice. Maybe a Canada firm could help, Marstar, I think
is the importer in Canada. Some Canadian members will see this, and
provide a contact there. Welcome, and best of luck.

Dear Hawkmoon, thank you for your answer. Maybe I've make a mistake to explane: I need for "accessories", the Norinco I must buy in Italy....

Hi Surf99;

I don't think CDNN will ship outside the US but you can send them an email and see. There prices are good and I have not heard to many complaints on their service.

Take Care

Hey neighbour, what parts do you need for your Norinco?

[quity]

Hi John,
I'm interested for grips, hammer, trigger and the slide stop (hold open).
ciao
:)

[John]

Grips, I am sure you can get from any of the grip makers shown in the sponsors panel in every page of this site. Hammer, trigger and slide stop, you'll have to find a shop in US, which can ship these to you in Europe. If you have decided on the brand you want (like for example Wilson Combat), email the company and they'll tell you if they can ship these to you or not. If not, they will definitely suggest a distributor of their products, who does ship world-wide.

Thanks John,

Hi all of you guys, i'm Marco from Florence, Italy, nice to meet you.

I have a new Norinco from about one month and a Colt AR15.

The pistol is very fine and shot very well, (cannot tell the same of the shooter!)

Ciao

Marco

ciao Markino
I was born in Pisa (we were "paesani" one time ago), now I work and live in Brunico from a long time.....(since 1986). I've (not only) the Norinco's M16A1 and this month I order the 1911 (Nork, off course). With some "after market" parts, they can be very very nice guns and any problem to shoot (sometimes better than others, believe!). ciao

hi Andrea,

wath parts you want change? I have change only the grip with a pair of black rubber grip but, in my desire, is the hammer, and the trigger. I have no idea wath part fit in the pistol without work or machined.

Ciao

[John]

Hello Markino, how are you neighbour? Nice hearing about your Nork, let's see some pictures of it. Instructions on how to post pictures can be found in the FAQ, the link is towards the top of each page, above the Sponsors Panel.

As for the pistol itself, I would definitely change the sights, too small for my aging eyes. The springs are also something you would want to change, just to make sure. Other than that, the Norks are quite reliable and serviceable pistols. It will give you years of pleasure.

Hi John, i'm very well tks, the sun is on the sky and for this the life it' ok!

A question.... how can i change the front sight? The sight is fixed to the muzzle and it seems not to be able to be disassembled.

The rear sight is simply but the front?

[John]

It can be easily removed, but to install another one, you need a staking tool. Don't you have a gunsmith there? If not, you need to order a staking tool from Brownells. If you want, I can give you instructions.

By the way, are you allowed to have such rifles in Italy? I assume they are semi automatic, right?

God, we are the only ones who are not allowed to own these! :(

[quity]

Hallo
it's right John! we can have only semiauto rifle with 10 round mag. at the last....(sob!)
For Markino: as I've write, as I have my Nork, I'll change the grips, hammer, trigger and hold open (than I'll see what to do....).
ciao

Is right John, in Italy we can have only semi automatic.

My carbine is a Colt match target hbarII with 16" barrel and a lot of accessories.

For the sight, i think is better a gunsmith! :) :)
