CHIAPPA CLASSIC 1887 SHOTGUN
Patterned after their highly acclaimed lever action rifle,
the 1887 Shotgun was Winchester's first entry into a tremendous lineup of
shotgun models. The Chiappa Classic Model 1887 utilizes the design of the
original 1887 solid lever that includes an innovative internal safety design
that minimizes the possibility of accidental shooting while the breech block is
open, not allowing the firing pin to strike the primer until the breech block
is completely closed. Chiappa Firearms has developed a variety of versions for
this model; the short barrel version is available with the standard 5 shot
magazine (plus 2 in the receiver). The receiver is designed for modern 2
3/4" ammunition that insures positive ejection of spent cartridges. This shotgun has a 22" barrel with a 39" overall length. Note
that the 1887 model is the only shotgun which has no use limitations according
to the SASS regulations.
