Chiappa Model 1887 “Zombie Blaster” Lever-Action 12 Gauge Shotgun, Limited Edition
This compact, limited-run Chiappa Model 1887 “Zombie Blaster” pairs John Browning’s classic lever-action design with modern, matte-black styling and factory laser engraving. Produced in a short 2012 promotional batch, it features an 18.5 in. cylinder-bore barrel, compact mare’s-leg grip, and a 5-round tube magazine—all in a package that sidesteps NFA short-barrel regulations while delivering the unmistakable 1887 profile.

What’s Included
- Chiappa 1887 lever-action shotgun owner’s manual
The factory “Zombie Blaster Shotgun” engraving, cut in a dripping-font motif, marks this piece as part of Chiappa’s limited 2012 release at the height of the zombie-themed firearm trend. Collectors value this short production run, and the engraving is crisp, uniform, and original.
Built on a steel receiver and barrel finished in durable matte black oxide, the shotgun balances rugged construction with a contemporary look. The receiver comes drilled and tapped to accept an optional rail, allowing easy addition of a red-dot or scout optic without gunsmithing.
The 18.5 in. cylinder-bore barrel and flush 5-round magazine keep the overall length to roughly 27.5 in., giving it the compact profile favored by cowboy-action and movie reenactment shooters. A gold bead front sight provides a quick, bright reference point, echoing the cinematic style associated with lever-action shotguns.
Chiappa equips the T-Model with a pistol-grip (mare’s-leg) stock and a slim, rubberized wood fore-arm. The soft-touch coating enhances control, especially during rapid cycling of the external hammer and large loop lever.
This Italian-made, modern reproduction of the Winchester 1887 offers reliable 2 3/4 in. 12-gauge performance, a distinctive aesthetic, and genuine limited-edition appeal.
