Im thinking about a cheap norinco shotgun for a "truck/camp" gun (to shoot buckshot, and slugs through). Has anyone owned one of these shotguns? How do they preform?

Im thinking the Norinco N870 with a 24" barrel.
 
Go for the Remington 870 Express or an older Wingmaster.

If you are going to get a Norinco make sure it is the HP-9 (14" Barrel). The Norinco HP-9 will accept all 870 barrels but because of the length of the mag tube on the other Norinco models they will not accept all 870 barrels.
 
I've shot and handled a handful of them, quality seems to be superior than the 870 express, mind you I don't own either but have a couple of old, beaten up wingmasters.
 
For a truck gun, you'll probably want short and the HP9-1 suited the bill. However, there are plenty of usable Wingmasters as suggested above that work as well.

The Express isn't bad, but does have a plastic trigger guard and rougher finish than Wingmasters do. The Express would be about the same money as a HP9-1.

Apart from Remington and Norinco 870 copies, you might consider Mossberg or their lower priced brand Maverick. Cheaper than gas, reliable and also light(alu receiver).

I have an HP9-1, which was originally bought for my bro and out of curiousity, he didn't want it, and I never regretted having it for myself :)

They have it listed as the N870-14. It's the HP9-1. Plus their website is a tad confusing... what happened to the drop down menu?

Get the HP9-1, AWESOME little shotgun. A cheap and effective way to get a 14" barreled shotgun. I was happy with mine, sold it to buy a strider hatchet. I'd get another one in a heart beat.

If you just want a 18"+ shotgun, just get a REM from "where ever", they are about the same price.
