While visiting the range / gun store in Lodz, Poland, one of the two Chinese AR15s was this carbine with an 18.5” barrel. I asked why the barrel was so long, especially since the other Chinese AR had a 14.5” barrel and the RSO said he didn’t know. Maybe someone in the community can help us understand the reasoning on the barrel length?
This one was marked “CQ-A”, apparently also made by Norinco?
The gun shop / range was C4 guns, they were really great guys and ran a safe range. I just showed up and they were happy to show me some of their inventory of guns. If you’re near Lodz, Poland I highly recommend checking them out! https://c4guns.pl/
