My father in law has one and it is a tack driver. The stock is the plainest grain hardwood I have ever seen on a commercial rifle. I would like one of the synthetic stocks for it. It was bought for about $100 just before the Clinton administration blocked Norinco from doing business in the US.

They have been around for some time down here (almost 30 years or so) - they do shoot well. There does seem to be a preference for second hand CZs though because of the better timber.
Whatever you said...everyone knows you are a lying jerk. That's a bold assertion. Point out where you think I lied. Well?

Their firearms construction runs hot and cold. Some are okay, others are pieces of junk. Unfortunately, Canada didn't stop importation. I thought that odd, considering how anti-gun the feds were here at the time. You are better off without Norinco. Buy American.

Shoots better than most $100 dollar rifles. Had to cut about an inch off the barrel to eliminate set screw marks from a previous owner. The barrel is VERY hard and the bore is not centered. Tried to stain and refinish the ugly wood but just made it worse so went with paint, webbing and satin clear.

I've got one, new in the box, but haven't shot it. Bought it out of curiousity more than anything. Safety is majorly stiff to put into the fire position. I've seen some take a CZ452 stock and modify for the Norinco to fit.

My dad bought me one years ago when they were like $90. Looking back, he should have bought a whole crate of them! The rifle has a perfect trigger, and is a true tack driver. It has led to decades of fun, and hopefully many more to come. About 10 years ago we both scoured the countryside for another one. Finally found one NIB, a painted dark brown stock instead of the blond wood on mine. Let's just say it's not near the rifle our first one is. Trigger is on the low end of manageable, accuracy is not the same, and the bluing is a tad rougher. But all in all it's a nice rifle for plinking and the woods. I would love to come across another one like mine but I think they have suffered the fate of a lot of inexpensive .22's. They were cheap, people gobbled them up, trashed them out and now they're hiding in attics, closets and garages. I bought a CZ 513 a few years ago and they're close to the same rifle but with a plastic magazine and not as nice a trigger.

Dennis Olson used to restock those with a nice piece of walnut, remove the sights, repolish the metalwork and reblue, slick up the action and trigger, inlet the bottom metal and turn out a nice little custom rifle. They shot like blazes and looked great when he got done with them.

What kenoh2 said, "the bore is not centered". Don't know if they were all like that but it wasn't on mine. I never thought to check for that. Plenty accurate and functioned as it should but seeing more steel on one side of the bore than the other got kind of old.

While I may, if the need should arise, consider picking up another Chinese woman, I'm staying strictly away from their guns.

I have two of them. I know a couple of others. You cannot pry them away from any of us. This gun is a wonderful hunting rifle. I had one of my stocks cut in the wrist area and a wedge installed to straighten the stock. What is not to like about a 22 it’s a metal magazine that shoots? If it gets dinged while hunting, it just adds a bit of character.
I am thinking these were originally imported by a company in Kansas and sold for about $60.
Do not pass if you see one available.
