Norinco Catalog Instant

China North Industries Corporation, commonly known as Norinco , was established in 1980 with the aim of modernizing the People's Liberation Army (PLA) and generating foreign exchange through exports. Its initial offerings were largely clones of Soviet designs, such as the Type 56 assault rifle (a variant of the AK-47) and various Tokarev-style pistols.
