Can anyone identify this shotgun?

I came across this pic of a pump shotgun that I'm not familiar with.....I like the semi-hump look, which is similar to a few older semi-autos (Franchi, Beretta 390's, Browning B-80's and some of the older Browning Gold Hunter's).

Can anyone identify this one? Don

I looks like a copy of the Remington 870, only with a humped receiver. I would venture to guess it was made in Turkey or China.

Yep, the handguard screams 870, but the receiver looks Turkish.

Could be a NORINCO copy of 870 Remington. The Chinese company made them for H&R before they went out of business. I have one with a receiver that looks just like that and synthetic stock. H&R Pardner Pump.

Thanks guys.......yeah, I think TJm15.38 nailed it. Seems to be a H&R Pardner with a wood stock. Don

If this was 40 years ago, it would be a Franchi.
Now it’s one of the Others.

A Chinese Remington 870 clone. Specifically the Norinco Hawk series sold under the H&R Parnder Pump brand. A regular Norinco Hawk 981 is just a regular 870 pattern receiver. For H&R, they slightly changed the shape of the rear of the receiver with the hump.

The funny thing is, those guns were being imported from China by H&R when H&R were owned by Remington.

Yup, Remington was importing a Chinese 870 clone and selling it as direct competition to their own 870. And the worst part of it all. The quality of the Chinese made guns were better than the Remington made 870 Express models of the time.

I cannot think of a better example of the lunacy at Remington before the bankruptcy than that.
