The Norinco YL-1897 is a faithful recreation of the most popular and best built exposed hammer pump action shotgun ever devised. Originally developed by John Browning for Winchester to satisfy the huge demand for a repeating shotgun which could handle the more powerful 'smokeless cartridges,' the original model 1897 guns saw use during the last days of the Wild West - which makes these fast-handling pump guns very popular with cowboy action shooters.
From the last days of the Wild West to the arsenals of the U.S. Secret Service, F.B.I., U.S. Marshalls, and countless other local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies during Prohibition and beyond, the 1897 shotgun earned a reputation for reliability under fire which still stands even though Winchester ceased production in 1957. Now, thanks to Norinco, a forged steel version of this historic firearm is once again within the reach of most shooters. Cowboy action shooters especially appreciate the availability of the YL-1897 since their sport is extremely hard on increasingly rare 50+ year old original guns.
