True, the Norinco 1911's were, in fact, beloved by some people, but in that firearm too, the cautionary tale was that you might get one with a slide that was way too soft in the metal-hardening department and if you went to have the slide dovetailed or something you found out yours was made of mush.
Chinese SKS bolts had a reputation for cracking.
I've owned more than one Chinese AK that had a receiver rivet that would loosen after a few thousand rounds, or a front sight drum that wouldn't stay tight, etc.
Chinese made firearms are junk. Crap. Feces. And that's being generous.
I hope it's illegal for the Chinese to make M4 parts.
All we need is for soft Chinese M4 parts to find their way into top-tier LPK's or BCG's or something and it's game over for avoiding junk.
Just look at the way Chinese counterfeits of other items have been confused with the real thing, and you can be very afraid.
