Cimarron Firearms Winchester 1887

[Two Bit Charlie]

Does anyone have any experience with the new Cimarrons 1887 shotgun? I know it's made in China. But I believe it's made to Cimarrons spec's. I'm interested in one, but would like to know more about it. How's the availability?

Thank You

It is matte finish, but I like the way they put a CFA logo on the side that is very similar to the WRA of originals.  I've heard they seem to be pretty functional out of the box.  I believe they are currently available in 20" and 26".

Your LGS should have no trouble getting one for you.

I love mine. No mechanical problems. It always seems to do the job if I beat on it hard enough; all of the ejection is in the last very little bit of lever throw so you must be a dominant gentleman with the gun.

I hate doing the "reach-around" on 97's, and I hate the violent jerky motions of a side-by-side, so I'm thrilled to be an 87 guy.

I've been roll crimping ammo for it and that does makes loading it significantly easier.

I'm far from a competitive shooter and I've been using a bone stock Cimarron 20" for a few months. It's a fun juxtaposition between how delicately the rounds need to be placed into the gun to load two at once, versus how hard the lever has to be worked to eject them.

I only have a few hundred live rounds through mine but thousands of dry cycled dummy rounds for practice.
