Okay I'm looking at buying some shotguns in the future.

My holy grail is the saig-12, but I'd also like some pump actions.

AIM has a pretty nice deal on that UNC 1201, plus I've heard great reviews about Norinco's M97 trench gun reproduction.

My concern with these chinese shotguns is spare parts avalability. the UNC 1201 I can live without, I want a Mossberg 590 really but its cost turns me off, but I'll eventualy get one.

However I really got a hankering for that M97 clone. Does anyone know if its parts are compatable with the real thing? Would spare parts be available at all? Or should I just avoid Norinco Products in general?

I think those Norinco shotguns would hold up pretty well actually. I've seen some gunsmith specials on those at Century before, some damaged in shipment etc.
