Intrigued by tiengold's post I googled type 03 and all I got was this:
www.sinodefence.com/army/small_arms/type03rifle.asp Too bad. Just think if the assault rifles of the world's two great Powers, doomed to fight each other to the death, were both derived from the FNC! |
|
Something that China made is a knockoff? Say it ain't so! |
|
|
Sometimes their knockoffs perform better than what they "knock off" I love my 1911 and would love an M1A. |
||
|
Their is nothing to be gained in making a military rifle pretty, it is a tool function is primary. |
|
|
you expect something else from china? |
|
|
Looks better than that Ghastly new Sig 55X at the SHOT show.
At least the Type 03 is not trying to be an AR. |
|
My friend has one of those Polytech M1As, and it shoots darn good. When he bought it years ago, before the Clinton/Norinco import ban, it was something like $600US. And of course he's also kicking himself for not getting the Norinco 1911. |

|
Right, can you imagine using that in CQC and trying to hammer someone in the noodle with that paper folding stock? |
||
|
|
|
|
if it's like any other kind of chinese military equipment I've ever handled, i wouldnt worry about it. it'll break after the first few shots.
i have NEVER had a chinese gun part work properly. |
|
It's heritage is obvious, it screams AK at me. Not that that's a bad thing.
|
|
|
|
|
I've learned my lesson.... i dont buy that shit anymore. i pony up for the made in USA stuff |
||
|
Have you ever handled a Chinese AK? |
||
|
Polymer stocks are often stronger then metal. And it’s not a club, it’s a gun; you know, bullets come out. |
|||
|
|
That is a gross misrepresentation of Chinese firearms. Chinese AK's and SKS's are known for their reliability and quality. To say otherwise tells me that you have handled neither. |
|
|
i never said i handled chinese GUNS, i said EQUIPMENT, meaning scopes, gear, ect. without exception it was CRAP. On top of that, I try to keep my major money in the US, and would NEVER buy a chinese gun at any price, at any quality. i regret every dime I ever spent on any chinese gear |
||
|
Oh man, I'll have to disagree with you on this one. My Chinese AK broke after only a thousand rounds. Pin broke and it turned into a uncontrolled slam fire full auto pile of junk. The hardness of the metal on that gun was close to swiss cheese. Maybe a little softer. |
||
|
Please clarify: Was this actual Chinese gear as issued to Chinese forces, or just gear you bought that was made in China? |
|||
|
are we now to argue over chinese crap?
Its all crap F@ck China and France too while I am at it! |
|
The Chinese can make functional pieces of shit just fine. This new rifle of theirs looks like their entry into the conventional "precision" military individual infantry weapon.
If you want good optics, buy German. If you want good wine, buy Italian. If you want a powerful and robust 4X4 pickup, buy "American". If you want a good precision combat rifle, dont buy Chinese. A Chi-Com SKS or AK variant I might think about, but anything beyond that inthe realm of firearms.... no way. There are way too many other tried and true viable options out there. |
|
Quoted: if it's like any other kind of chinese military equipment I've ever handled, i wouldnt worry about it. it'll break after the first few shots. |
|
In before the guy who will swear up and down that this is the greatest newest rifle that will replace the AR15/M16 style rifle forever.
|
|
If you research this topic, you will find that you are in the minority. Inexpensive does not equal poor quality when it comes to Chinese AK's or SKS's. They are no longer inexpensive due to import bans. |
|||
|
Talk about dumb quote of the day.....sheesh where to begin? |
||
|
My poly-tech M14 is nicer than a springfield I had, and subsequently sold. My friends Norinco is great. All the Norincos I found in Iraq were of very high quality. I like chinese guns fine, why would they be unable to make good firearms? |
||||
|
Yep his credibility is now zero, shows hes never handled chinese weapons. As far as buying a weapon from an enemy I really do not see a problem with capiotlism, to bad some elected dickhead said I cant. Said dickhead was a Republican too. |

|
As soon as Wolf 5.8 mm is available at the local gun show for under 80 bucks a case, I'll be the first kid on my block to own one...
|
|
Weren't some expended 5.8mm cartridge cases found in the LA area?
Urban myth? |
|
I don't see how we're doomed to fight China, they can't get as far as Taiwan yet. We're a little further away.
Funny looking rifle, BTW. |
|
I think I heard about this. |

As soon as the chinese try to invade the US, alot of people will have one.
|
|
