I think I'll keep the 870 and buy a grizzly down the road. I'll probably get a little cash for christmas.
This is my second Chinese shotgun where if I pull on the trigger really hard the hammer will release with the bolt when chambering a shell.
I thought my Norinco HP9-1 was just unlucky... but now the Grizzly has the exact same issue. I suspect all Chinese triggers will do this.
To recreate the problem (with unloaded shotgun):
1. Work the action (i.e. rear then forward)
2. Dry fire but keep the trigger depressed after doing so.
3. Work the action rearwards while still applying pressure on the trigger; when the bolt is all the way back pull on the trigger harder - You will notice that the trigger will move back another 1~2mm (doesn't feel right).
4. Now close the action with the pressure still applied on the trigger in the farthest back position and then release the trigger.
5. Attempt to 'dry-fire' the shotgun. Notice that the hammer is not cocked because it was released while the bolt was closing.
Not cool.
Oh well. I guess I will order another Remington 870 trigger group for this one too.
Aside from this... I do like the Chinese 870 receivers. I've got no complaints with anything else.

I bought the original grizz with the intention of it being a beater sg. Well, ended up tricking it out with Wilson sights, rem. trigger and sear, vs comp metal follower, hogue forend, spec-ops stock, knoxx power-pack, s&j single point sling adaptor, mesa tactical side saddle, limb saver pad, vs comp oversized safety..... you get the idea.
Would I do it all over again? Not a chance. Wish I would have bought a real 870 and worked that up. Also wish I had left the grizz stock and used it as a beater/trunk gun as intended.
Don't make this mistake. Don't get me wrong, I like the grizz and think its decent for the money, however I will never buy another chinese gun.

PS:
Also fell for the norc M14 and norc 1911 thing and "improved" them. Don't do it. I really think these cheap chinese copies are fine but leave em essentially stock. If your going to do them up buy a real gun. Just my experience and opinion, do what you want with it.
