Norinco 1887 Shotgun

[Bittermansbro]

Saw some references yesterday about Norinco producing a Winchester 1887 copy. I assume this has/is being produced. Does anyone know if there are any in Canada?

Cheers,

CANUCKLEHEAD: I looked on the MARSTAR site and never saw anything on the 1887 LEVER ACTION WINCHESTER copy that NORINCO and others have tried to make. Is there any info located in the MARSTAR site other than NORINCO SHOTGUNS, sometimes MARSTAR will add something in a list of new products and not really highlight the new product, probably because it may mean radically altering their website.

Aha... sorry, I was thinking the 1897...

My bad.... never heard of the 1887..

No worries Canucklehead, but you got me excited.

Anyhow, this is where I saw them

http://www.coyotecap.com/mod__'87_wcse.htm

And from reading the page, they have it. And being such a big Norinco country up here, I see no reason why we should not be able to get them

There's no mention on that page of that shottie being a Norinco... how do you know it IS one? Either way, a lever shotgun would be pretty cool.

Interstate Arms is the Norinco distributor down in the US, a loophole used to continue to get Norinco stuff in after the Clinton ban on the Chinese firearms.

As well, read at the bottom of the page in the following link:

www.sirmailorder.com has had them in their catalogue for a couple of years but I have asked and nobody has one. I just did a check and it is not listed a SIR anymore, I guess they ordered some and they didn't arrive or were on backorder. There has been talk and articles about this gun for about 10 years now, I believe it was TRISTAR in AUSTRALIA that was listed as the first supplier/builder?. I would be a nice fun gun .

Marstar has 1887 levers in the Jan Access to Firearms for $400. I am interested to see how these work out.

HOWDY; Check the SASS wire at www.sassnet.com There is a long waiting list with deposits . Some 1887 are coming in at a higher price than was ordered TWO yaers ago.
Coyotecap is the only current source ,he fronted the money and went to China to get it done.

Just picked up the February "Canadian Access to Firearms."

YL12-IJ87 'Win 1887' lever action shotgun
12 ga X 2.75"
Special introductory price!
($399) Limited time offer

This is a pretty high end price for a Norinco shotgun. Must be high in demand. Is this the "Terminator" gun?

 

[Bittermansbro]

Well the good thing Vicious is that we live in Canada, and when it comes to the US, we tend to get the Norinco stuff with more ease then they do. I emailed Marstar a couple weeks ago now and Jill replied to check in a month or two.

Unregistered, I think it is the Terminator gun
