This is the only place, I can find that is shotgun related, so I will ask a shotgun questions here. If it is out of place, I am sorry about that.
I have always like the Winchester 1897 shotgun but the prices are getting way up there. Norinco offered a clone with a 20" bbl. I know where I can get one at a reasonable price ($300.00)
The is allot be said for a shotgun that can be stored with a round in the chamber and an external hammer that is down on half cock notch. Shotguns with a round in the chamber and an internal hammer give me the willies.
I have been favorably impressed with the two Norinco 1911A1s I have owned and currently own a Norinco clone of the Uzi B carbine. While the finish is not all that great, they are reliable well made guns.
Anybody have any experience and/or knowledge about this Norinco shotgun, that I need to know before I buy one.
