Good question. I don't have any experience with them.
They are making copies of the Ithica 37, Remington 870 and the Winchester 97. I have not seen one close up yet.

a friend of mine has one of those that eject the shell from the bottom.
he tells me that it is made very well and he uses it all the time. he recommends it highly.
personally I don't know but I trust this guy totally.

A friend of mine has the Norinco copy of the Ithaca 37. Bottom eject. He blasts away with it like crazy with no problems :)
I was looking at one of the 870 copies at the last gunshow. All black with ghost ring sights. Seemed pretty decent.

Dear Sir-I really like my Norinco Ithica model 37 copy,but all of the internals needed deburring by a gunsmith.After 3 or 4 rounds,the action would freeze.In hindsight,I think I would have been better off putting another $130.00 into the pot and buying a US model.My .02 worth:)-Gearhead.
