Define a "real" gun. I'd assume to not scare you it would:
-Keep Wendy and her kind very happy
-Not fit in a convenient case
-not be portable, so as to render it useless for backpacking and other legitimate activities in the wilderness, where a "real gun" might be useful.
Now what point are you actually trying to make here? That we should try and choose North American made goods first? Yes, we do. But if we can get similar or better quality goods for a fraction of the price, people are going to look at their options more closely.
Look at the car market, the electronics market and every other type of product that is widely used. Guaranteed your home contains items that could have been bought for a much higher price if made by North American workers.
That said, my 870's are all Remingtons.

LMFAO! You summed it up nicely.
After handling both a month ago I'd buy the Norc.
Is Marstar selling the 14" ers yet?
Also Geo you could always buy some snap caps if you are worried.
I often simply leave my pumps action open most of the time anyway.

Decisions, Decisions...
So, what would you guys get to make a 14" rig?
Norinco N870-14 14" ($345.00) or a Dlask 14" barrel ($299.00) to put onto a reciever?
I already have a Remington Express and AGW set. I just need a 14" barrel. For a difference of $46.00, you seem to get a lot more from the Norinco. Then again, after swapping trigger group, forend and bolt, I'll end up with left-over Norinco parts and frankly, who wants them? For that matter, would anybody buy just a Norinco receiver if I took the barrel for myself?
Here's the decisive question: Can Norinco 14" barrels take screw-in choke tubes? For another $90.00, Dlask will make you a barrel that accepts choke tubes.

Marstar has the 14" Norinco 870 clones in stock for $345.
I wanted a 14" reliable pump and don't already own an 870
so I opted to take a chance on the Norinco. The feedback on these have been fairly good.I'm going to shoot the snot out of it to make sure that it is 100% reliable (gotta love that Marstar guarantee!). Once I am confident in it's reliability I am going to install the following mods: Wilson +1 extension, spring and follower, Wilson Trac-Loc ghost rings with tritium front sight, Wilson oversized safety and a light mount for either an M3 or TLR-1 light.
It won't be too mall ninja
And yes, I'm going to get some A-Zoom snap caps.

Don't forget that you could choose to sell your current express barrel to subsidize the cost of the Dlask purchase.
I noticed that! I just learned brazing steel with brass at SAIT on Wednesday, and I clean my shotgun on Friday and see brass! I guess an advantage would be that it is easy to melt the brass and switch parts, and the steel isn't distorted by too much heat.
I was going to buy a norinco 870 from marstar and was told they were a few weeks away. 2 months later I picked up an 870 magnum Special Purpose for 15$ more than the norc would have been.
I own a norinco jw25a bolt action .22 and this may not be much of a comparision but pieces have fallen off that rifle but the shotgun has held its quality.
I think the majority of Norinco supporters own guns that are proven designs and have interchangable parts with the "real" ones. If something goes wrong on their clone they can replace it with a real part.
I also think the majority of Anti Norinco posters have owned or handled a Norinco like my JW25A...I've had to put a lot of work into that rifle to make it not feel like a piece of junk compared to my 10/22.
So in some cases you should probally forgo the norinco purchase and use the money you would spend on real parts and buy the real gun.. Saying that I will be buying a norc 1911 when my restricted shows up..
