Our Assessment: The Norinco Model 320 represents one of the more distinctive civilian semi-automatic adaptations of the iconic UZI pattern. Manufactured in China by Norinco and imported by ACC Intl of Knoxville, Tennessee, this rifle was produced during the 1980s and 1990s when demand for military-style semi-automatic carbines was rapidly expanding in the United States. Built as a closed-bolt, semi-automatic blowback rifle, the Model 320 mirrors the recognizable silhouette of the Israeli-designed platform while complying with civilian configuration requirements, including its 16 inch barrel.
Chambered in 9x19mm, the rifle features a parkerized black finish and retains approximately 90 percent of its original metal finish with scattered handling marks and light wear. The bore is bright with sharp rifling and no erosion, showing only minor fouling and rating 9 out of 10. The front sight is an adjustable post and the rear is an L-type flip aperture marked for 100 and 200 meters, maintaining the classic UZI sighting arrangement. The synthetic pistol grip and forend show minor wear, while the folding steel buttstock displays typical friction marks at contact points. The hinges remain functional, and the stock locks open and closed properly. Length of pull measures 15.5 inches extended and 8.5 inches with the stock folded.
Mechanically, the action functions correctly, and the manual safety and grip safety operate as intended. The rifle includes one 25 round detachable magazine. Markings remain clear, screw heads are sharp, and pins are unmarred. As a semi-automatic import variant of a globally recognized submachine gun design, the Norinco Model 320 offers collectors and enthusiasts a solid example of Cold War era civilian market production in a reliable and compact 9mm platform.
