I went out looking for some of this online. I found a company in Canada that sells it. At the same store they have Norinco M1As for $450.
Norinco was once allowed to export to the USA but they stopped it in the 90's. Granted they are very low price, but I have a Norinco .45 that does all I ask of it, I can't imagine the M1A is all that bad. |

I'd be very surprised to see that available for sale in the US. I foresee some useful idiot opining that the bright, cartoon-like carton would somehow encourage children to take up arms-just like Joe Camel encouraged kids to smoke
The fact that it is illegal for children to buy ammunition matters not to the useful idiots. That said, I'd buy some just for the novelty if nothing else  I'm very well-stocked with other Hornady products for zombie control, like 75gr 5.56 Zombie TAP.Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

The quality of the late imported MAK-90s was unbeatable. Side by side with an Arsenal, I'd take the Norinco. We have both at my work, and the MAK-90 looks and feels much better, plus I can personally attest that they shoot very, very good for an AK. Better than my own Arsenal. The other guns those red bastards make, I make no claim to have witnessed the quality of. But the AKs they made are amazing. TR85. |

Now if you want to compare the SKS or AK to legit Russian AKs or SKSs of old, we might have to agree we'd rather own the Russian guns.

I've always found it interesting to ponder how cheaply the Chinese could produce copies of the Glock... I seriously could see them anywhere between $150 and $300 MSRP, depending on the finish used. Bet most parts, if not all, would be interchangeable. But that'll never happen, of course. I'd trust Norinco QC over Taurus QC. In Brazil, they don't shoot you for making a gun wrong.

I guess this definitively answers the "what's the best round for zombies" debate...
A word on Norinco M-1A's: their receivers are some of the finest made, being forged and closer to mil-spec in most cases than Springfield or Fulton "cast" M-1A receivers. (The military M-14 Springfield, et al receivers were forged, not cast). Their barrels and bolts aren't so hot and often need to be swapped out with American parts, then fitted by a competent armorer. But the receivers on these are excellent. |

Need more details on the zombie certification process. Does Hornady offer some manner of warranty? As of yet, they have not been very forthcoming. I'm curious about the yellow-tipped projectiles. Are they specifically engineered to obtain maximum expansion in partially-decomposed flesh? For that matter, are they sub-sonic (think suppressor, Hollywood quiet), or especially hot, to promote over-penetration, thereby maximizing the hoard-thinning capabilities per round? Will various bullet weights be offered? i.e.- Will there only be 55gr., for use in a 1:7, 11.5", with Eotech, or 62 or 75 gr. projectiles for long range work? Since Hornady is finally taking this niche of gun owners seriously, they would be well-served to put some of this engineering to use in developing both 7.62x51mm, and 12ga. rounds. Anything else would be boutique, but these cover the basics of most essential firearms. I'm not too concerned about handgun ammo at the moment, as the purpose of these yellow-tip ammo seems to be specifically that of keeping zombies out of anything near handgun range. There are a lot of unknowns with this new product. A lot of other ammo, that is already widely available at many brick and mortar retailers in the U.S., will do the job sufficiently. Hornady needs to demonstrate to me, the consumer, how this exotic round is what I want in my magazines when the zombie apocalypse occurs. I have no problem paying a little extra if this is definitely the best tool for the job, but I'm not going to throw away money on some BS marketing hype. |
