Shandong

Good morning everyone. Looking for information for a friend. He acquired a Shandong 1st Machine works 12gauge pump. Any information about it would be greatly appreciated.

The Chinese have exported many types of pump shotguns. Does this one look like a Winchester 87, Winchester 97, or Remington 870?

I haven't seen it...I will have him send me a pic. What kind of quality/value are they?

 

[jimbobborg]

Is it the Ithaca Model 37 clone? http://parallaxscurioandrelicfirear...8/Chinese-Model-37-Clone-Shotgun#.VQmrPC5pCKI

Trying to get the pics he sent to down load on my computer so I can upload them. It does not look like an 870 clone...it is bottom feed and bottom eject, black synthetic stock with what appears to be an 18" or so barrel.

That would be an Ithaca 37 clone. See the link above about them.

So the general consensus is that it is a POS of no real value? Lol

 

[jimbobborg]

It's a POS only if it doesn't work. Let us know if it works.

Will do. I think my buddy was just wondering if it was of any real monetary value before he started using it. Thanks for the info.
