Looking for oppinions

Any of you guys had any experience with this norinco 5.56x45. I found a pretty good bit of it in an estate sale fore cheap and I'm wondering if it's worth the risk to buy it

Well it's not for sale(yet), I have an opportunity to buy 8,000rnds but I cant find much info on it so I'm wondering if anyone on here has any first hand experience with this stuff

No personal experience. Based on what I’ve read, if it was a steal of a price, open a can, examine a box, test it. Everything I’ve read said inconsistent velocities, probably corrosive, and can sometimes be “hot”.
Basically, the Chinese trying to F you, indirectly.

You could pull the rounds, weigh the projectiles just to see, collect the powder, refill with consistent powder measures, and reseat the projectiles. At that point, should be consistent and safe, but might still be corrosive.

Just thoughts...

What price per round would you be looking at?

If I could open a can I would but I don't think that's on the table

I've read the same thing about hot loads and faulty crimps too

If it’s a deal then buy it.

I buy any ammo at a deal - even if I don’t have a gun to match.

Or - let me know where I can get it.

.25/rnd

I have some individual Norinco 20 rd boxes of 55 gr brass case I bought sometime in the mid 90's. It goes bang every time! About that same time I bought a bunch of made in South Africa PMP 55 gr brass cased ammo. I am down to my last 2 boxes. That stuff was very accurate and clean all for about $3.00 a box at the time. I have never seen it for sale since then

that norinco stuff is corrosive and CRAZY inconsistent in my experiences with it. i'd pass unless you have a norinco AK chambered in 5.54x45. ymmv.

That's pretty much what I've been reading
