Yeah...the Cimmaron-branded guns that the poster immediately above you, referenced in his post.....Originally Posted by hsatimmy
Mine is a Cimmaron M1897 manufactured by Jianshe, China (read: Norinco). The Sarco Heat Shield fits with some elbow grease. The diameter of the Chinese Barrel is wider at the muzzle than a genuine Win M1897 due to the modern, removable chokes.

The thing is, you can get a genuine 1897 for less than the Chinese ones right now and the repro heat shields will fit. Also you can get parts for the real ones, and most of them won't fit the Chinese versions. My Chinese one is missing an odd shaped screw which has effectively turned it into a paperweight. Lucky I'm a machinist, so that's this weeks project (the same screw for a win 1897 is $3 and it don't fit) It's funny, because the Chinese one I have is an odd mix of English and metric screws. I think they just used whatever they could get hold of when they made them
They say age brings wisdom, and in the same breath say there's no fool like an old fool.
Take my money
Based on the feedback here there is certainly demand for them, just because one outfit failed at something does not mean others will not succeed. Seeing photos of the complete lack of QC on some other firearms out of that place and I'd steer wide to avoid anything that's been through their doors.
NO clones in USA, all came in from China and then re-branded and ordered by specialty shops.
