Norinco HP9 barrels question.

[Buster95]

I have a Norinco HP9 with a 14" barrel (with ghost rings) and I would like to know if Remington 870 barrel will fit on this gun?

They should but the indexing might be a little off. I traded the 14" bbl off my old HP-9 for a 12.5" DA Grizzly barrel with no issues. Claven2 posted a bit of info on fixing the indexing if it bothers you.

I had an HP9 14" and put a 28" Remington barrel on it without any issues.

There was a thread recently where someone had to do a little machining to get an 870 barrel to index properly. Mine just fit fine. (Rifled factory 870 barrel onto an HP9)

Though I haven't had a chance to fire it yet.

YMMV

I've got two HP-9

One I fit a 26" 870 barrel to it no problem. The other wouldn't accept it

I can sell you 28 inch barrel from Remington 870 I have fitted on HP9. You can PM me for details

A 18.5 in Remington barrel wouldn't fit on my HP-9 .

A 18.5 in Remington barrel wouldn't fit on my HP-9 .

Do you mean it would not go on at all, or that it was out of index, or that the action would not lock in battery?

I've never had a Grizzly or HP9 where a Chinese barrel would not go on nicely and lock up properly, in index. The majority of them will mount a Remington 870 barrel and lock up safely, but will be about 4 degrees out of index, requiring a 25 thou (or so) adjustment at the barrel indexing notch. This is not always noticeable without a vent rib, which makes the mis-alignment obvious.

Lots of people claim that the Rem barrels fit and index. Every one I have seen in person was out of index and the owner simply had not noticed. YMMV.

I know very little about shotguns and it was probably out of index as you mentioned.
It wouldn't go on so I got rid of it
