Deactivated Winchester M1887 Shotgun
£850.00
Out of stock
.
Deactivated Winchester M1887 10 Bore Lever Action Shotgun in excellent condition, with strong, smooth action and mares leg stock. The Model 1887 was the first truly successful repeating shotgun. Its unusual lever-action design was chosen by Winchester because it was all they knew! John Browning did advise them against it, but to be fair to them, it worked well and was a popular choice at the time. Its only drawback was that it was much more complicated than a pump design, and therefore much more expensive to make. Hence its eventual decline. It was made famous again by Arnie in Terminator 2 when he used it to blow away the bad guys! All deactivated weapons sold by D and B Militaria are deactivated in the United Kingdom and hold a London or Birmingham proof mark and certificate stating that the weapon has been deactivated correctly and is legal within the U.K.
