Norinco Hunter - opinions, and regulated?

I don't think I have interest in converting it. Maybe it isn't common, but I think I'd like one the way it is.

I think another thread covers this - http://www.mdshooters.com/showthread.php?p=610698

All versions of AK and Galil (fundamentally what the Norinco Hunter is) are regulated.

They typically dont sell for much as the market is somewhat limited, usually between $300 and $400 for used and $450 to $550 for NIB unless they are one of a few rare configurations.

I looked at one at the show in Spring Mills last weekend, until the dealer told me they were selling for 3-5k before the panic, but would make me good deal on this one. He also said they were easily converted to AK configuration. I just smiled and was glad I had boots on to make it thru that BS.

Page 3 of MSP Bulletin 96-1 says sporterized versions are exempt.

FFL told me the same last week.

Except sporter version that don't have the naughty bits, as stated in 96-1. It depends on the individual FFL to interpret how clear it is to cover their hide. Fortunately I had some who were reasonable and followed the clarification of 96-1 as per the MSP.
