    Thinking of buying a Norinco NHM 90

    Hello everyone. I'm thinking of buying a Norinco NHM 90 that has a dragonov stock and a scope and torch, laser, suppressor and forgrip from guncity for $2400. I was wondering are Norinco NHM 90's good firearms? My dad seems to think that since Norinco is a Chinese company that its automatically bad. I already own a Norinco SKS and havnt encountered any problems. So wondering what you guys think of the gun and whether its worth buying it.

    Good guns, but $2400 is a massive rip off.

    I have one chambered in 5.56 and a mate has one in 7.62x39. They're great fun, not super duper accurate but still group well enough to be a worthwhile firearm to own.
    Wait until they have one of their "sales" on, so the price is more in keeping with what it should be or buy one off Burley Arms. Quarter Master in Hamilton have the ATI stocks to suit.

    Very good rifles, but please don't pay the price that guncity is asking for a $1000 rifle with a couple of hundred dollars worth of parts.
    As has been said, contact Steve at Burley arms

    You can get an AR off digit for less than $1000 now.

    Go see Steve at Burley Arms for best value on AK's

    Dont, its a cheap and massively over priced Norinco and its gun sh*tty, if it was $1500 OK.

    For that money you can buy what I just got, A good quality US made Stag AR15 rifle,

    Stag Arms Model 4, 5.56 NATO 20" A or E Cat

    incl a red dot from Bushnell,

    BUSHNELL AR Optics TRS-32 5 MOA Red Dot Sight

    for $2260

    A suppressor about $250~300 for a good one.

    Or a NEA from,

    https://nzar15.com/store/index.php?i...roller=product

    at $1899 you have $500 to spend on goodies.

    If you want the same Russian ammo as the SKS,

    https://nzar15.com/store/index.php?i...roller=product

    $1699.

    So $800 left for goodies. So a first class suppressor $300 and a better red dot than I have, say,

    https://nzar15.com/store/index.php?i...oller=category

    $359

    and it has a x2 magnifier,

    https://nzar15.com/store/index.php?i...oller=category

    $100

    All up $2459.

    and then you can slap any upper you want on it.

    Yep, pretty much now. The ai is going to go soon so it'll give me some money to look for an AR. Though its a tough choice cause I was going to build a 22-250
