Antique WINCHESTER Model 1887 Lever Action SHOTGUN Designed by JM BROWNING
Popular Coach and Law Enforcement Gun!
Here we present an antique Winchester Model 1887 Lever Action Shotgun, made circa 1892 in New Haven, Connecticut. This model saw just under 65,000 made, and those under serial number 63953 are made prior to 1899, making this an antique and requiring no FFL. These guns were designed by the famous John Moses Browning and are considered the first successful lever action shotgun. Unfortunately, they were fast eclipsed by pump action shotguns. They came in both 10 and 12 gauges, and various barrel lengths including the “riot” length of 20 inches. The riot length version is considerably scarcer.
As one can imagine, these higher capacity shotguns, especially those either made shorter at the factory or cut down, made great companions for those on guard duty, riding shotgun on a coach, and for law enforcement. Perhaps other, more nefarious characters also found them useful. Of course, who can forget the short, pistol-gripped version that the Terminator used?
The overall condition is good. Excellent action. The bore is somewhat reflective with light pitting throughout. Well-used stock that is solid with the exception of the splitting at the toe, which is immobile, and looks like the result of a drop on the toe. A great lever action shotgun that has seen some use!
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel: 28 inches.
Caliber: 12 gauge
