I have held one in my hands but I havent looked at the insides
Do you plan to shoot this gun a lot?
the beauty of the 870 is that it is almost imposssible to wear it out
the norinco 870 seemed ok but for 180.00 you could find a used
Remington 870
I do not know if 870 accessories will bolt up to the norinco.
the rear sight of the norinco seemed flimsy

Norinco Generally makes good stuff
If you like it get it.
I dont see why not.

tough call. I have 2 Norinco products I have had good luck with. I agre w/ Dennis, for the price of a used one you won't wear out, go for the real deal.
