Okay so I am looking for something fun to shoot and want to know if anyone has any experience regarding the IAC/Norinco M97 Trench Gun?  If you have shot one or if you have any photographs of one pleas let me know.  

I carry an 870 for work and will not be trading it out, I just want something different on the range.

We have a couple and love them.  The wife has a riot gun she used for SASS and mine was a trench version I used for blasting blackbirds in sunflower fields so yes, together they have seen a LOT of rounds go through them and all without any problems.  She got hers at the local Cableas whereas I ordered mine from Coyote Cap and has the action smoothed out a bit.  Hers is just a little tighter and stiffer is all but it works just as well.  The only problem we've had is the heat shield on mine would shift with the recoil but a little sprinkle of Brownell's rosin between the barrel and heat shield cured that problem.  Anyways, on to the pics...

But mines cooler...especially when I can fix bayonets!


A LOT cooler!

Great pics do you mind if I ask how much both cost.

We got them back must have been around 2002 or thereabouts.  I think they were going for $350-400 or so back then.
