    Recoil helps with the nudge forward.

    You can only feel difference during dry firing. Recoil will take care of that.
    Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes the reason is that you're stupid and you make bad decisions.

    With the 1897 the nudging forward to cycle was a feature that was incorporated by John Browning and I believe acts as an out of battery safety for the shotgun. It was a feature of the original Winchester produced guns and is not a defect in the Chinese replicas.

    I’ve shot skeet and 5-stand with mine (also singles trap, thanks to it having removable chokes). Handle it with authority and it cycles fine. I’ve had other, ostensibly better, pumps that have caused me more grief on doubles than the 97 ever has.

    Some cheap shells sometimes stick, but a chamber polish would probably help. I just shoot Score 1145fps target loads in mine and it never causes issue. 1200fps sometimes fails to extract.

    You may need to remove the bead sight first. The barrel is probably a little too thick for the heat shield to fit, so a fitting will be required. Same may or may not refers to the forend. You may need to make relief cuts there.

    Thats not too bad. As Long as the barrel isn't too think to make the notch for the cross bolt then I am happy. I've heard speculation before that the barrel might be too thin make that notch happen.
