Norinco copy of Win '97. O.K. or not? What's good price?

[Oleg Volk]

Don't know about the 97 but the materials, fit and finish on the 870 copy was better than on the Remington original. The bolt cycling was a little rougher but sights were better, metal trigger guard had no sharp edges and it had no built-in lock.

Unfortunately, the shape did not work right for me, else I would have been tempted to pick it up...but the gun tended to roll in my hands during mounting.

If the 97 is as well-made, then it wouldbe a keeper.

Folks, I fully understand and back the anti-Chicom thoughts.

Popeye can search the archives if he needs the info.

If you would like to offer your advice on a firearm, he and I welcome it.

Bought an 870 with mag extension instead.
