just call me Jesco



Feast your eyes on some Americana that's straight from China!


for a long time now, I've wanted to keep it real like hankIII and travel around the town with a loaded double barrel shotgun. Enter the Norinco 99 multi-safety 20" 12gauge double barrel shotgun! Ready for 'em at all times! Fighting 'em in the forest! Coming out of the swap! Ready for any random desert threat and/or Zombie attack! Hooray for Chinese ingenuity! and you know, compared to the Stoeger coach gun, this one is heavy, which we all know is a sign of reliability! The Stoeger is cool in that is has a nickel finish which would make me look like a gangsta cowboy, however if you can't bludgeon someone with your shotgun, what's the point of having it?


Along with some adventures jerry rigging a Vickers sling, this has been a pleasant evening rocking out with the fury of HankIII! I'm in search of a nice leather sling for my loaded double barrel shotgun, along with some form of gun rack for the SUV - cause we need that now you know.


(yes, it has been chamber checked 3x at this point, and the shells are in another room)


the crew are very excited about all of this as you can see. they were pissed because I took away the bottles they were chewing on. Oh the hard lives they lead.

OK, so here's the HankIII song that inspired all of this several years ago - "Smoke and Wine"

Damn, HankIII's pedal steel player is awesome...

Nice new piece!

Nork's are generally great guns (some tolerance issues and sloppy machining aside...); no cast parts, MIM, or etc... They are forged ordinance steel!

BTW, Florida Gun works sells Nork 99's for ~230.00 + FFL transfer...

There are also a few gunbroker listings with Nork 99's for 230 shipped (not counting FFL transfer.)

I gotta say, this one is better than any of the Norinco 1911's, AKs or SKS I've ever seen! their cowboy action gear is REALLY above par - not just in reliability, but in terms of look AND structural capacity. This is one honking mother! did I mention it has 2 safeties? much better for an SUV, I mean, coach shotgun!

btw I looked into getting one via gun broker. For me, after FFL transfer fees and UPS shipping, it was within a $10 difference of supporting a store and buying it locally - building relationships AND getting to handle it beforehand too.

now, if I did see a norinco 1911 nowadays, I'd scarf it up too - decent gear at a totally undervalued price!
