*SOLD* Norinco Model EM332 .22 LR 20" *PRE-94 CHINESE MANUFACTURED BOLT-ACTION*

Bryant Ridge's analysis:

The Norinco Model EM332 is a rare and finely crafted bolt-action rimfire rifle that delivers impressive precision wrapped in a uniquely collectible package. Chambered in .22 Long Rifle, the EM332 is often admired for its close mechanical resemblance to the famed Anschutz Match 54 action, a benchmark in competitive shooting circles. This faithful replication makes the EM332 a particularly desirable piece for collectors and rimfire enthusiasts alike. Featuring a 20-inch blued barrel, the rifle balances compact handling with excellent accuracy potential, ideal for both target shooting and small game pursuits.
 
The EM332’s aesthetics and ergonomics are equally appealing. Its smooth walnut Monte Carlo stock not only provides a classic, refined look but also offers improved cheek weld and shooting comfort, particularly when using iron sights. A unique and practical touch is the built-in magazine holder integrated into the stock, allowing users to carry spare magazines right on the rifle—an uncommon but thoughtful feature. Sight-wise, the rifle is equipped with a blade front sight on a serrated ramp and a fully adjustable U-notch rear sight, offering solid out-of-the-box accuracy without the need for optics. While the rifle is generally seen with signs of light handling, most examples maintain excellent bores and well-preserved actions, reflecting the rifle’s durable design and limited use. Manufactured in China prior to 1994, the Norinco EM332 is a sleeper among rimfire rifles—underappreciated by some, but highly valued by those who recognize its craftsmanship, shooting performance, and scarcity.
