Hey everyone. I own guns because I look queer and I live in America. I suddenly got kinda interested in the QSZ-92, and by extension Norinco guns in general. Looks like there was an import ban on Norinco guns since 2003 though, so the only Chinese firearms I can find for sale are quite old that must have been imported before the ban. Plus they're chambered in more common 9mm whereas I'm kinda interested in seeing how well the Chinese 5.8mm caliber shoots.

Does anyone know how strict this ban is or how hard it would be to be to get a hold of a Type 92 pistol or Type 95 rifle, or at least shoot one of them? Just curiosity honestly. I doubt I'd actually go through with smuggling guns, especially when I already have them and mine work just fine. Also community rule 3 says no discussion of illegal action, so if that's the only possibility, I'm not interested.

But if some kind of legal aftermarket clones of Chinese guns exist that would also be neat, if anyone knows anything. That might be neat to look into. some background: I'm a real big fan of CZ firearms, I like manual thumb safeties, all metal frames, and I like recoil operation in pistols. But I mean I'm also not picky and a standard polymer striker operated pistol is fine too.

Anyway thanks comrades, you're all a lot more knowledgeable than me. (not actually interested in buying/selling illegal firearms and this is pure curiosity, please don't send me down a rabbit hole of black market importing please, thanks.)
