I was wondering if any one had experience with the HP9 18.5?

How is it any different than the new style 870 Tactical. The new ones with the one piece tube?

Note that the Norinco has a 18.5" barrel while the Remington is 18.0" barrel. So it would appear that their tube mounting points lie in the about the same spot on the barrel. It looks like the barrel tube mount on the Remington might be slightly forward of the Norinco. What do you guys think?

The Hawk Industries Website

These guys make the HP9 for Norinco and the Grizzly for Canada Ammo.

Also if any one has an HP9 18.5, what is the magazine capacity? The Hawk Industries Website says that it is 5 rounds ? I suppose that this is for 3'' shells. Also what is the one piece tubed Remington 870s tactical's capacity?

Is the magazine tube on the Norinco HP9 18.5 dimpled like the hunting Remington 870 Express? I know that the new one piece tubed Remington 870 tactical's magazine tube is dimple like the hunting variants.

Also are the old 870 Wingmaster magazine tubes dimpled?

What should I look out for if I wish to accessorize the HP9? Is everything compatible with the Remington 870 (except the magazine tube of course) I would like to mount the Magpul SGA stock so I can get a longer length of pull.

How is the quality control on the Norinco HP9? I have heard that the quality control at Remington sucks! I don't want to by a broken gun out of the box.
 
the HP9s with a 14inch barrel do have dimpled tubes - probably a safe assumption that the longer barreled version would be the same. Quality control on hte Norincos is as good as, or as worse as, lol, any. Good shtoguns - they work well.
 
I remember reading that the 18.5" version is not compatible with all 870 parts and the barrel cannot be swapped out, however the 14" will accept anything and everything 870. I am not sure if this is true.
I love my HP9 14"! Built like a rock.
