Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Designed by the legendary firearms genius John Moses Browning, the Winchester Model 1887 holds an immortal place in history as the world's very first successful lever-action shotgun. Created at the request of Winchester to complement their famous lever-action rifles, the Model 1887 utilized an ingenious rolling-block action mechanism w/ an exposed hammer and under-barrel tubular magazine. Produced from 1887 to 1901 before evolving into the Model 1901, pre-1899 original Model 1887s are prized by arms historians and collectors as true Antique firearms, requiring no FFL for transfer. Iconic for its presence in classic American history and 20th-century popular culture, an authentic 1887 lever gun represents the frontier spirit like few other firearms can.
This specific example is an authentic, highly desirable Antique Winchester Model 1887 manufactured in 1890, bearing serial number 26266. Chambered in 12 Gauge, it features a 20-inch round steel barrel, under-barrel magazine tube, brass front sight bead, rolling-block lever action, and magnificent high-grade figured American walnut furniture w/ smooth pistol grip and steel buttplate. The receiver left side displays a remarkably crisp, clear "WRA Co." monogram engraving. Preserved in fantastic Antique condition w/ smooth mechanical lever cycling, tight action lockup, strong internal spring tension, and a clean bore w/ light age-appropriate patina, this 1890 Antique Model 1887 is an extraordinary investment-grade piece for any serious Winchester collector.

We gladly offer a 3-day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.
