Presenting the Norinco Hunter, a semi-automatic rifle that combines the power of a military firearm with the appeal of a sporting rifle. Manufactured by China's North Industries Corporation (Norinco) between 1985 and 1990, this uniquely designed gun is based on the iconic Kalashnikov design and was imported by Valley Gun in California.
It is in very good condition, showing only light, superficial signs of previous handling or use. The bore condition is excellent, and it functions perfectly. The sale includes one 30 rd mag and one 10 rd mag. There is minor finish wear on the barrel, front sight, and mag release, and some small minor scratches/dents in the wood stock. However, these do not affect the gun's operation or performance.
The 10rd mag has moderate rust but remains functional.
The Norinco Hunter operates on a gas piston action, making it reliable and durable. Chambered for 7.62x39mm cartridges, it boasts significant stopping power, making it an ideal choice for hunting or home defense. The blued finish not only adds to its aesthetic appeal but also provides some protection against wear and corrosion. The Hunter's capacity is 30+1 rounds, reducing the frequency of reloads. The stock is a checkered chu wood 2-piece stock with a rubber recoil pad for added comfort.
As a collector's item, the Norinco Hunter holds significant value. American importation of Norinco firearms halted in the 90s, making them rare and sought after in the collector's market. This rifle, with its mix of performance and rarity, is a must-have for any firearm enthusiast or collector.
Don't miss the opportunity to own this piece of firearm history. The Norinco Hunter is not just a gun; it's a story, a legacy that you can hold in your hands.
