Special Features
  • The Chiappa Model 1887 (930.046) is a faithful reproduction of the original Winchester 1887, which was designed by John M. Browning and is historically recognized as the first successful repeating shotgun ever produced, giving this platform a direct connection to one of the most significant milestones in firearms development.
  • The color case hardened receiver is produced using a traditional metal hardening and finishing process that creates a distinctive swirling pattern of blues, purples, golds, and grays unique to each individual firearm, making every receiver visually one of a kind.
  • The high-contrast two-tone appearance of the color case hardened receiver paired with the blued barrel gives the shotgun a classic, period-correct aesthetic that stands apart from modern matte or synthetic-finished alternatives.
  • The solid lever design follows the original 1887 geometry closely, and the innovative internal safety mechanism adds a layer of modern reliability without altering the external profile or the traditional feel of the operating cycle.
  • The automatic ejection system clears spent hulls cleanly and quickly with each lever stroke, keeping the action cycling smoothly during rapid shooting or competition stages.
  • The hand oiled walnut stock and forend give the shotgun warm, natural wood tones that complement the color case receiver and blued barrel, completing the classic appearance from grip to muzzle.
Practical Benefits
  • The compact 18.5-inch barrel and 27.5-inch overall length make the Chiappa Model 1887 (930.046) easy to handle in close quarters, making it a practical choice for home use, field carry in dense cover, and any situation where a full-length barrel would be cumbersome.
  • Cowboy action shooters will find this shotgun a natural fit for SASS and similar competition formats, where lever-action shotguns are a required or period-correct division firearm and the smooth cycling of the 1887 action is a genuine competitive advantage.
  • The 5+1 tubular magazine capacity gives the shooter multiple follow-up shots without reloading, covering a wide range of hunting and sporting applications that a single-shot or double-barrel configuration cannot match.
  • The hand oiled walnut furniture, color case hardened receiver, and blued barrel combine to make this shotgun a display-worthy collector piece that holds its visual appeal long after it leaves the range.
  • Hunters pursuing upland birds, small game, or using the shotgun as a brush gun will appreciate the short overall length and manageable weight, which reduce fatigue during long days in the field without sacrificing the reliability of a steel-receiver lever-action platform.
  • The historically significant design, high-quality Italian craftsmanship from Chiappa Firearms, and striking finish make this shotgun a confident gifting choice for the serious shooter or firearms enthusiast who appreciates both function and heritage in equal measure.
The Chiappa Firearms Model 1887 (930.046), chambered in 12 gauge with an 18.5-inch blued barrel and a distinctive color case hardened receiver, is a solid fit for cowboy action competitors, collectors, hunters, and anyone who wants a historically rooted, beautifully crafted lever-action shotgun that is as functional as it is eye-catching.
