They are legal. They probably hear Norinco+CA and freak out. Worse case send it to EBR Works in AZ for re-ship to your CA FFL.Comment

I had one at one time. Think I got it from Bud's.Comment

Hmm, I had thought all Norinco's were banned by name. Now I have to look into getting a 1897 clone!Vae VictisComment

Quite Legal!
I bought a lightly used Winchinaster 97 trench gun a year or two ago, before prices hit the stratosphere. There was no problem as to the legality of the purchase or any question as to its acceptance by my local FFL. Unfortunately now the prices of the Norinco riot jobs are mid to upper three digits, getting toward the range of decent condition, used real Winchester 97s.

The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." ~ C.

The Clinton Era ban only targeted rifles and handguns produced in China, Norinco included; they've still managed to import cheap shotguns since the 1990's, including their reproduction Winchester 1897's, which California doesn't care about because it's not a semi-auto or a handgun.Comment

At the prices they are asking for the Chinese copies, I would just shell out a couple more bucks and get the real thing. Now, if you want a Winchester 1897 trench gun, it is going to be way less money to get the Norinco copy.

I have never handled a 1897 Winchester or Norinco shotgun. How are they to shoot and handle? I wonder why they went out of production. (I have handled a Win M12 and it is a smooth and slick shotgun) I like having an external hammer but the design has a half cock safety. Has that been an issue for anyone?Comment
