I have a new TNN/Norinco "Old West" Winchester M97 12 ga. riot gun.
Seems to be a decent enough piece, although a bit rough around the edges.
Anyhow, my issue with the M97 clone is with the dissassembly.
I need to remove the slide handle/action bar to resolve a loose wood issue, and maybe de-burr the inside of the metal pump tube.
My firearms assembly/dissassembly book shows a take-down M97 shotgun. Mine has a solid frame design. Played around with the thing, attempting to remove the action bar from the bolt. No good. Looks as if I must remove the mag tube to get the action bar loose from the bolt.
I made a brief attempt to unscrew the tube, however it is on tight, and I don't care to marr my fairly new gun!
All I really need is the action bar/forearm assembly off the gun. Does anybody have any advice about disengaging Chinese Clone M97 action bars from it's bolt groove?
Thanx, Stevie.
