The 20 inch steel barrel has a round profile and a true cylinder bore with no choke threads, giving this Riot configuration a simple, rugged setup. A brass bead front sight provides a clear reference with no rear sight, as typical for the pattern.
Feeding and ejection follow the classic design with top-loading and top-eject operation. The tubular magazine runs nearly to the muzzle and holds five rounds, for a total capacity of 5+1.
The gun wears a matte blued finish over a steel receiver and barrel. Furniture includes a straight-wrist walnut stock capped with a black buttplate and a matching walnut fore-end. Length of pull is 13.0 inches.
This is a modern reproduction of the 1887-style lever-action shotgun. The receiver carries a Cimarron monogram, and the factory label confirms the CL1887-20 variant and part number, aligning with the included packaging.
Key dimensions and handling notes include an overall length of about 37.25 inches and an approximate weight of 7.8 lb, balancing the 20 inch barrel and near-full-length magazine tube for a compact riot configuration.
