Anybody shoot one of these? What is the best thing about it? What's the Worst? Am thinking about a purchase of an AK type in this cartridge. Any info on these is appreciated. Have a Norinco 84S-1 in mind. Anybody got one of these they shoot? Thanks in advance!

At that time the magazines were more expensive. I haven't had to price them lately but I would expect that the magazine supply problem is far worse now. Even then I sold them for quite a bit more than I paid.
Anyone else know about these guns? Let me know! Thanks again!

When I was a dealer, I sold hundreds of AK's...including a few to the Branch Dividians (my claim to fame).
The quirk in magazines someone mentioned is this: Early on, Polytech made a very few AK's in .223 caliber. And for some reason, they made a unique magazine for it--the Polyteck .223 mag would not fit the .223 Norinco gun, and visa versa. People would buy Polyteck AK's and find extra magazines extremely hard to get, even back when they were not banned. So that is the thing you have to watch for. If you buy a .223 AK, don't buy the Polyteck unless it comes with all the mags you think you will ever want.
My humble suggestion and 2.5-cents worth,

edit after the first post: Clays--the mags you have that won't fit your Norinco are the Polytecks. They are extremely rare...and valuable to the right guy. Don't sell them cheap.
