What’s Included
- Zhongzhou Machine Works JW-2000 Coach Gun (12 Gauge)
The JW-2000 follows the classic coach-gun layout: a break-action, side-by-side 12 gauge with external hammers and double triggers. It uses an extractor-only system (non-ejector) and a right-swinging top lever. Markings reflect its Chinese manufacture and import by Century International Arms in Georgia, VT.
The 20 inch barrels feature a solid matted rib and brass bead front sight for a clean, glare-reducing sighting plane. Chambers are cut for both 2 3/4 inch and 3 inch shells; the "USE LEAD SHOT ONLY" warning is roll-marked on the receiver flat just forward of the action, while the barrel tubes carry the maker/import and chamber markings. The bores are fixed cylinder, suitable for close-range shot patterns in a traditional coach configuration.
The stock set is hardwood with a walnut-stained finish, a pistol-grip profile, and checkering at the wrist for grip. A long forend with a latch-style release complements the classic look. A rubber recoil pad and fixed sling swivels add practical comfort and carry options, with a measured length of pull at 14.0 inches.
The blued steel receiver and overall blued finish present a traditional appearance. Controls are straightforward, with a tang-mounted manual safety and a red FIRE indicator. External hammers support manual cocking, and the double triggers allow independent barrel selection.
