Norinco Before & After (Pics)

[November]

A few months ago, I stole this mint Norc at a show for $299:

Here it is now. I "modified" the grip safety to resemble a Commander's and it's pretty darn close. Bought a Commander hammer on eBay that dropped right in. Added a $5 main spring housing from eBay. Put on some Pearce rubber finger grooves underneath my Ahrends wood grips, and got very aggressive with the dremel and the mag release. For the mag release I used a cutting wheel and a criss-cross pattern and it is awesome for traction.

Thanks!

Very nice! There is just something cool about modifying a gun (especially 1911s) that make it "yours". I would find it VERY hard to let my SA GI go after the mods I made to it.

Thanks fellas. I tried to keep this one simple. The rubber finger grooves are the "loudest" visual part of the gun and they are easily removeable, but I like them for now. Here is the last Norinco I did with CTC laser grips, add-on Caspian rail, etc., etc.:
