My brother has one of the Chinese-made H&R 870 clones (that he was given). While it is a decently-made and reliable shotgun, almost none of the parts are interchangeable with a real 870.

It's been my experience that most if not all the parts that will be likely to wear out on a true 870 are interchangeable with the Norinco (Chinese) clones.
This is what I have, with a few basic mods:

Price is right around $200. Well made, including the stock and forend. The stock walls are rigid and clean. Mossberg's I've seen tend to be thinner and ratty inside.
