I've examined several new Chinese-made shotguns recently. One was the IAC 37 (Ithaca 37 clone), the Remington 870 clone, and the Winchester 97 trench gun copy. I can't speak to the metallurgy, but overall fit and finish seem to be on a par with current US- made shotguns of the same general class.
Their QC seems to have gradually improved over the years and their prices are hard to beat for someone on a budget. Anyone have any opinions pro/con on these particular shotguns? I realize the political angle generates strong feelings, but I just wanted to get a technical perspective.
