- Those are great prices for the Springfields!

- #Someone recently mentioned a shop that sold new Norincos for $339.
- #If the prices for Norinco and Springfield are about the same (for new

- Norinco quality is unknown and I would not pay over $275 for one. Get
- the Springfield; it has a proven track record and may become a collector's
- item.
