Norinco AR pattern rifle availability

A CQ-A at anything over R15k really is a shit buy. At least with a US made budget AR you're getting a rifle with known specs that'll take all your upgrades.

Remember when they first came in with none standard buffer tubes and slightly odd rifling twists, chambers that needed polishing?

Precisely. They had civilian buffer tubes, among other non standard stuff. I was put off then and I still wouldn't waste my money on a CQA when I can get a Troy AR for a couple 000 more.

Ok I'll try again

AT the price point

CQA or local AR15s (of varying quality and parts)

I'd give serious thought to a truvelo gun, when I emailed them for a semi custom build they were quick to reply and answered all of my very specific questions, even gas port size.

I've never seen a truvelo firearm I wouldn't be happy to own.
