Title: Norinco 1897 with a 30 in. Barrel?
Post by: Coyote Roper on October 26, 2012, 09:28:08 PM

Does anyone know if they made an 1897 with a 30" barrel
A guy has one for sale, he says its a Norinco, but has no import marks.
He says he's had it for about 9 years, only shot about 10 rounds through it and its been in his safe since. Anyone have advice?
If it is a norinco are there shorter replacement barrels available.

Thanks in advance for your input

Use it with the barrel uncut.  You will slam those knock-downs so hard that they will bounce right back up!

They never made the Norincos with 30 inch barrels.  They did make a few with 26" barrels.  (I had one.  They are very scarce.)
