It's really just the Norinco "clone" of the Remington 870 shotgun made in China.

The gun has been imported under names like Norinco, Hawk, Interstate Arms, Brolin, and now New England Arms.

Basically it's a close copy of the 870 with at least "some" parts interchangeability, but NOT barrels.
"Some" aftermarket accessories "may" fit.

Most owners report that it makes a good knock-around, farm, or truck gun.
Quality, fit, and finish are NOT up to American standards, and as with all Chinese made guns, long term durability of heat treating and steel is unknown.

Bottom line is, it always goes "BOOM" when the trigger is pulled, but don't expect a quality gun.

Keep in mind that often you can buy a genuine Remington for a few dollars more if you shop around, and you can usually buy a good used 870 for the same price.

Just another low quality chinese import to supply the lust of many Americans for cheap things. Do yourself a favor and don't buy it.

I like the one I bought for my father. It is not a gun that you buy to put on a shelf or for re-sale, it is just a shotgun that you use hunt with.

I have used a fair number of pump 12s and it seems to shoot and handle like some of the higher end ones (higher end being less than 400.00).
