Thoughts on the Norinco Type 56

[GAZZAMCK]

For a person who has rifles in both calibers, I would rather go for a 223 than a 7.62×39 because it is a lot cheaper to reload.

But for the price of 7.62x39 surplus, is reloading worth it?

In all honesty, a “shot out” barrel on a T56 shouldn’t have much of an impact on its accuracy….

How rude!
You meant to shoot them over your shoulder while running away anyways

Horizontal and overhead while looking in the opposite direction is also good form.

Currently I'm sorted on 223 reloading components at very acceptable prices at that time.
But after finding out that a 7.62×39 doesn't really use .30 bullets I decided not to reload 7.62x39 and just use surplus steel cased.

That is the reason why any stocks are just in the way, for that style of shooting. The spray style (no praying for those beings).

Found this now. Seems like misunderstandings regarding the chrome lining of the barrels are common...

Basically, i need someone here to tell me whether or not the ones that are currently being advertised are chromed?

I think you are overly concerned about a surface coating on a non-precision barrel in a non-precision rifle. Get the T56 if can do the type of shooting you want to compete in at a good price. Get a Saiga if you want to spend more for better fit and finish but still have an AK. Get an AR if you want the adaptability and ergonomics

I've just called Spartan Arms to asked them about the chrome lining and the salesman says that they themselves cannot say for sure because norinco doesn't really give detailed specifications on their toys. He says that the last lot that came in was the best lot that he has seen so far, he mentioned that this lot came from factory 13 and they are mil-spec. They are also threaded already. Also reassured me not to stress about the lining.

Spartan arms are sold out.
Brothers arms are sold out.
African arms are sold out.
Bellum arms are sold out.
Tactical hq has them for 20k.

So I've decided that i want one and just WhatsApped the dealer who has them or at least had them in stock yesterday! Hopefully he replies soon with the good news...

The chrome linied bore (chrome lining) is a visible item.
It will be visible on the chamber side as well as on the barrel end.
The barrel end will unfortunately probably be concealed by the flash hider, if it is a screw on unit then removal will expose what you need to see.

Do a google-fu exercise on the chrome linied bore then go and physically look at the FA you intend to buy to check on the chrome lining if you specifically require it.

Done and dusted with the first part of owning my first semi auto! Just done the eft. Paid 9k after negotiations which is a good deal I think. Bought the gun from tactically armed.
