So anyone has more info about these? First Arms Unlimited had them and now Atlantic.

I see from the pics on Atlantic that these are current production from Factory 26 with current B&T USA importer marking. How's B&T USA getting these in? I thought they're banned from being imported.

OOS for now. Nice looking rifles. But they are not cheap!

Yeah they're nice! I'm not buying since I already have an original one and a couple TIGRs. Just wondering how new production Norinco rifles could be imported.

What I find more interesting is that supposedly these are 2025 manufacture.

I didn't know that Norinco was still making them.

Makes sense I guess. Clients still want to buy Soviet era arms.

Perhaps imported from China the way shotguns are for "sporting" purposes? They are not high capacity and arguably in a "Sporter" specialized target configuration?

Very interesting import. Would love to hear the story about how they were approved.

a loaded gun won’t set you free, so you say…

Somebody is trying to capitalize on the recent drop I guess

Best price I've seen on one in a while, they are typically $12-15k on GB
