The Taylors & Co 1887 lever action 12ga shotgun is a faithful reproduction of John Browning's iconic design—a gun that defined the modern repeating shotgun and remains a favorite among cowboy action shooters, collectors, and hunters who appreciate mechanical reliability and classic aesthetics. With a 22-inch barrel and 2.75-inch chamber, this 12-gauge delivers practical capacity (5 rounds in the magazine plus one in the chamber) in a compact, fast-handling package that doesn't sacrifice tradition for convenience.

Built on proven lever-action mechanics, the 1887 is built to run. The case-hardened frame pairs with a blued barrel, and the furniture—stock and forearm—is American walnut that ages beautifully in the field. At 9 pounds, it balances quickly to the shoulder, making it equally at home in the upland cover or on the competitive range. The safety is intuitive and reliable, and the lever cycles smoothly whether you're working through targets or preparing a follow-up shot in a hunting situation. This isn't a modernized tactical gun; it's a working shotgun that respects its heritage without apologizing for it.

Whether you're drawn to the history of shotgun evolution, building a cowboy action rig, or seeking a dependable hunting gun with genuine character, the 1887 lever action delivers. It's the kind of firearm that shoots better than you might expect and improves with use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What ammunition does the 1887 lever action shotgun use?

The 1887 is chambered in 12-gauge with a 2.75-inch chamber, so it accepts standard 12-gauge 2.75-inch shotshell ammunition—the most common and widely available shotgun load.

Is this shotgun suitable for hunting and cowboy action shooting?

Yes. The 1887 is purpose-built for both. Its lever action, 5+1 capacity, and reliable mechanics make it a favorite on the cowboy action circuit, and the 22-inch barrel and 2.75-inch chamber are practical for hunting applications where speed and reliability matter.

What finish options are available?

This model features a blued barrel with a case-hardened frame. The brown finish noted in the product name refers to the overall appearance created by the case-hardened frame (which has warm brown/bronze tones) and blue barrel combination.

How much does the 1887 weigh, and is it easy to handle?

The shotgun weighs 9 pounds, which is moderate for a 12-gauge with a 22-inch barrel. At 39 inches overall length, it's compact and quick-handling—not overly heavy for extended hunting or sport shooting sessions.
