A little off topic, but I have a Norinco copy of the Winchester 1897 shotgun. I got it before Norinco produced their version of the Trench Gun, so I installed a heat shield/bayonet lug from one of the surplus companies and sling swivels. Now I have a Trench Gun that goes well with my other militaria. The Norinco action is not as smooth as some other 1897s I've had, but the lock-up is strong and the wood is smooth and dense. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one. I've also owned a Norinco 1911; is was fine as a shooter grade gun, better than the Rock Island Armory Phillipine imports.
