Norinco Type 97-1 shotgun

1897 trench gun

I have one now and its because I was sorry for selling my first one.
I also have an original take down that is converted to riot gun configeration.
I love em!!! love the looks the feel. The Norinco is the one I shoot most because it is a copy and it is a good copy. I don't shoot much bird shot out of it mostly 2 3/4" 00buck and 1 oz. winchester hollow poing slugs. It holds 6 rnds of some pretty potent ammo and the bonus is you can slam fire it if you must. I have a friend who has two original 1897 trench guns and a bayonet for it, super cool, nice price too. You will like it buy it and beat the heck out of it, it can take it. I don't like the wood on the Norinco but when it goes it will be replaced with real Walnut. Good copy but they too are getting hard to find now. People seem to be hanging on to them now. I pack mine everywhere and it is a constant companion up at the cabin. The wife likes it for confidence it gives her.
