This 1887-pattern shotgun uses a lever-action with a top-hinged, rolling-block style breech and an under-barrel tubular magazine. Capacity is 4+1. The 18.5" barrel keeps the package maneuverable while maintaining the model’s classic operating system and exposed hammer.
The barrel is cylinder bore, and the chamber is cut for 2 3/4" shells, giving straightforward compatibility and predictable spread performance. A brass front bead provides a clear, simple sight reference; no rear sight is present.
Custom features include a perforated heat shield with round vents and a bayonet-lug/muzzle cap assembly that integrates a front sling swivel. An additional large sling loop is fitted on the forward band. These additions give the gun a distinctive configuration aligned with certain historical and practical setups.
The finish is a matte dark blue/black across the receiver and barrel, paired with smooth, walnut-tone wood furniture. The straight-grip stock and smooth wood forend keep the lines clean and traditional. The left side of the receiver shows a circular monogram/logo.
