You can add it on most likey with minimal to no mod. Unless you have ghost ring sights (which would be very werid considering it was made in quite some time ago lol) the heat shield should be easy though. but Its funny how its 18 1/2'' cause that must of been some what of a fad they orginally 30” barrel in 1897-1957.
then in 1897 they offerd the shotgun in a 20''barrel with a variety of chokes. so either way yours was cut down to what I would say is a beauty barrel size.

it should all work I just dont know how hard it would be to track down the parts, (iv never tried and no one I know has this shotgun)

is this one yours? http://www.marstar.ca/gf-norinco/YL-1897.shtm
