How are the Cimarron 1897 Winchester clones? Do they jamb up all the time? I might get one to turn into an M97 trench gun if they're reliable enough. I did some reading and it appears they originate in China.

Thoughts?
 
They're made in China by Norinco and they had some issues with the very first ones. I have an older standard model but aside from the fonky Chinese wood they used for the stock it's been a very good and reliable shotgun. The newest ones have American walnut stocks and they do make a trench gun but I don't know if Cimarron sells it.
 
I see, thank you. I know reproduction heat shields/bayonet lugs are made for them, and some sling swivels and USGI style sling and bayonet should complete the build.
