Norinco Model 97 trench gun

[Classicvette63]

Stopped by a gun store yesterday and saw what I thought was a Win M97 trench gun on the shelf. Turns out it was a clone made by Norinco, brand spanking new. Anyone ever have a Norinco smokepole? I always had a thing for the M97 trench gun but can't see spending the dough for an original one. I think the Norinco was about $350. Any thoughts?

I've seen them in the OKC area for around $400-450.

they look ok, and i have toyed with the idea of getting one, but have too many irons in the fire right now.

The shop owner of the place i saw it at says he has one and it works fine.
