    If you get a used Nork in the States do as Tuner suggested and have the barrel linkage checked along with the slide barrel lock-up. If you go for a custom job then you have a great platform to start with. New Sights, trigger group, tighter bushing and beavertail would be on my first list then go to dehorning, re-bluing and a little checkering here and there and you will have a gun that shoots with the best of them. I had my ful custom Nork out today and shot a 4" group two handed at 25 yards with a body and a set of eyes that have seen better days. In the hands of a couple of the ERT members of the RCMP the gun shoots 1 1/2" groups off hand with ease.

    OR you can leave as is and have a great shooter in a mil-spec iteration that likely will function reliably with any kind of ammo you throw into her.

    If I were you and was going to spend the money to customize a basic gun I would look at a Para SSP or a Springfield loaded. I suspect by the time you are done playing with a basic gun you will be over the price of one of the Production guns that may be more valuable to you but, like a hot rod, not near as much to anyone else. Today some of the production guns come well equiped and for less money than what it takes to customize a basic 1911.

    sup Bob its me again lol

    I understand what u mean about the new sight but can u explain to me the new trigger group, tighter bushings and the beavertail????? Do the last three add to the accuracy of the gun or just for looks?????

    Well a decent trigger job will add to accuracy as it will aid in your shooting. The Beavertail will spread the recoil over the hand more than the issue arrangement and depending on the Beavertail you buy will raise the grip bringing the bore axis lower which aids in follow up shots as the gun has less tendancy to rise as the recoil is directed straight back along your arm. As to the hammer and sear, looks and may provide a better trigger pull. Just observations I have made when I had mine done.

    The gun really only needs better sights and a trigger job. I have long fingers so I went with a long trigger made by Dlask for my A1. It really comes down to how much you want to spend and your own likes and dislikes.

    Hmm, does anyone know if these newer 1911 norincos (like the ones coming into Canada) have fixed the issues mentioned earlier in the thread? As soon as Marstar gets that very, very very delayed shipment of 1911's and other goodies I will order one.

    It has been over 10 years since 1911 Norks were imported into the US. I have purchased four Norinco 1911's and all have been well made Combat 1911's. Yes they bave less than steller sights and ther triggers can always use some touoching up but they are shooters.

    I would buy a new Nork A1 over any basic retro gun being made by Colt in the US or Springfield in Brazil paricularily when they can be had for $325Cdn.

    We get a pretty nice 9MM 1911 but the .45acp models we get are your basic mil-spec gun both in A1 and Commander size.

    Icon16 love my norc

    I've owned two norc's,the lastest bought for $400 nib at a gunshow.I had some les baer part left over from another project.I put LB.sear,spur hammer and a easyfit Kart barrel.The trigger pull was awesome and very accurate,all said and done it's one my favorite 1911s ever.I am not a pistolsmith in anyway,shape or form,the parts just fell together right.The norcs are a very solid platform to build from.

    Regards,Don

    NIB Norinco

    I had her for sale at one point. I'm glad the would be buyer backed off and changed his mind. Now she's a keeper, still unfired. I have 2 more Norinco 1911s that are my range guns once in a while.
