Norinco 1911 Serial Number Lookup Serial
There are two threads over on the 1911forum under 'Other 1911's' (Norinco Research and Norinco Ban Politics) that are dedicated to the norincos and their info - a few people have been trying to piece together their U.S. 'history' (serial#'s, mods, changes, etc). Anyway, under the anti-gun 'Buy Back' scheme, the Federal Government bought the 1911 (A true 'government' model indeed!) and then - along with thousands of other surrendered firearms - they destroyed it. With the generous funding he got from the Australian taxpayer for the doomed Norinco 1911, my shooting buddy purchased a Glock.
