Norinco SxS = Colt 1878?

[Lucky]

Is this correct?

Are there any companies that manufacture short barrels or pistol-grips for said shotgun, and would they fit the Norinco?

I doubt it's a copy close enough for parts interchangeability.

I also doubt there's aftermarket stocks available, or extra barrels.

Sorry....

Ah well I'll find something eventually, thanks.

I have an original Colt 1878 and I had a Norinco 99. The only resemblance was they both had hammers. TNN is suppose to be importing one that is suppose to be close, but I have not seen one to comapare.

Lucky-

One of the dumb quirks of US law is that it's an expensive PITA to legally get or use shotgun barrels under 18 inches long. In some states, it's essentially forbidden except for muzzleloaders.

Therefore, the availability of short shotgun barrels is limited to the most common shotguns only.
