Is it a 100% clone of the AR15? Are all parts interchangeable with an AR?

I can't find it on DealExtreme's website.

Seriously, here are details.  It's the Norinco CQ.

I remember a few Canadians here saying they were ho-hum at best - about on par with the worst of AR-15s. Fun to shoot, usable, enjoyable but don't allow your life to rely on it.

The pic in the OP does have a 14.5 in barrel. It also has a happy switch..

eta: And MIM has got to be the shittiest method for making a metal product. You do not want to fly in an aircraft or drive in a vehicle that has critical parts made in this manner, yet alone shoot a rifle with receivers produced like that..

Listen up and don't be a schmoe.

American ARs are very expensive here.  They are expensive because of the crazy US export policies.  And this can make it very expensive to import a US firearm.

Believe it or not, it cost me $800 to import a Tactical Operations F-51 rifle.  I wanted the gun so I paid Questar International their fee to import it.

Anyway, back to the Chinese AR.  I had a chance to examine one last year at the range.  The receivers were forged and I was very surprised with the apparent quality.  I took a look at the bolt carrier key and it was properly staked.  The whole thing looked like a solid rifle; however, it had a goofy pistol grip.

For the record, I do not own a Chinese AR.  My AR is a frankenrifle that is made of Bushmaster, RRA, US GI and Stag Arms parts.

No, casting is stronger.  MIM is metal powder that is injected into a mold which is then heated.  The metal fuses together at that point, but is only surface hardened (think case hardened).  If the hardened surface is worn out, the exposed metal is subject to disintegration.  At least with casted parts, the hardening is more uniform throughout.

For restricted rifles, the bbl length doesn't matter up here, but in exchange, we can only shoot at a range.

Go to 1911 forum. Ask about MIM. Wear asbestos suit so you can survive the molotov barrage.



Basically, it's one step below casting on the QC scale. Casting is pouring liquid metal into a cast. MIM is pouring powder medal in a cast, and then heating it up so it melts.



Lots of 1911 parts are made this way since it's hard to cast and machine some of the more intricate parts.
