Most what was disappointing in Norinco 97 me it that, stock is not a wood.
I check again 2 what i have now and yes one is made from wood. Second hard to understand. Maybe i should apologize for wrong information about the stock.
No need to apologize. I was just sincerely curious as to different variations within one batch of shotguns. I believe they were made last year as that's what indicates the factory inspection sheet. Can't read Mandarin, so the date is the only thing that I can tell. Wood on mine looks like Chinese catalpa. Which is a good news, because while very difficult to work with (I have some actual experience) it's highly resistant to mold or rotting. It's however soft, so it should be sealed properly.
Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes the reason is that you're stupid and you make bad decisions.
My stock looks like MDF or particle board
Add glue to sawdust then pour into a mold
Or they had a block of MDF then shaped it like you would a regular stock
Just don't get it wet
When you take off the butt plate the debris from the screws spalls out then you can see the texture of the end and down the stock bolt channel
the weight and finish of the stock felt funny to me
This video is horrible i dont buy one because of this video
