Cimarron 1878 Coach Gun 12ga 20" Rifle with Wood Stock - Model CG1878-20
Cimarron Firearms Co
The Cimarron 1887 lever-action shotgun in 12 gauge brings Old West authenticity to your shotgun battery. This 20-inch barreled reproduction is modeled after the historic Spencer-designed repeater that became iconic in the hands of frontier lawmen, railroad messengers, and working ranchers. If you're drawn to classic American firearms with genuine historical pedigree—or you simply prefer the smooth, intuitive manual of arms that a lever gun delivers—the 1887 deserves serious consideration.
The 1887 chambered 2¾-inch shotshells and holds five rounds, making it practical for hunting, sport shooting, or living history. Its 20-inch barrel strikes a balance between handling and velocity, ideal for working in brush or from horseback without the heft of longer bird guns. The blued receiver and barrel finish are period-correct, and the lever action itself is addictive to run—smooth, fast, and satisfying in a way that modern pump and semi-auto shotguns simply aren't.
Cimarron built this shotgun from an original in their collection, so you're getting genuine historical accuracy, not some fantasy interpretation. Whether you're a Cowboy Action Shooter, a collector of levererguns, or just someone who appreciates the elegance of pre-1900 design, the 1887 is a working gun that respects its lineage. It's the kind of shotgun that makes you slow down, aim deliberately, and shoot with intention.
