Picked up a new toy....1887 replica

[Wiggity]

This is probably the most fun gun I've had for a while. It's a Chinese replica of the infamous winchester 1887. No problems so far. Machining is a little rough, but is reliable and has a strong ejection.

I'm strongly thinking of making this a Terminator 2 clone.

In order to do that, I'd need to take an inch off the barrel, get a drop loop lever machined, and take the stock down.

Um...ok, well, SpecSports had four of them, two black, two regular wood stock. Don't remember the price. FYI, the gun in the above pic was used when Arny takes the shotgun from the bartender. The trigger guard was cut so the bar guy did'nt get his finger ripped off.

I say leave it as is. Pistol grip shotguns are pretty useless in my opinion. Sort of a novelty thing. And not really all that comfortable or fun to shoot.

Looks a little clunky.

I have an original one, built in 1893. It is so fun to shoot. Mine is pretty easy to cycle, not clunky it all. To shoot it faster, I put just my thumb in the lever, and use just it to pull the lever down. Then simply cup the outside of the lever with your fingers and push it back up. This works way better with the long throw of these guns.
