Pretty funny how people react.Every type of rifle action- bolt, semi, pump, break open- started out using wood stocks. And all of them are available in synthetic and modern versions.
For some reason giving a lever action a modern look to it REALLY REALLY offends a certain type of person.
It shoots fantastic out of the box, I was worried I’d have to slick up the action (based on reviews of the firearm) but upon my first full disassembly there were no rough machined surfaces. Only thing I suggest is to do a full takedown and make sure screws are torqued appropriately.
Be cautious with those Rossi flat head screws, they are pretty soft. When I was removing the magtube retaining screw, the slot for the flat head deformed easily. I ended up just boring out the screw hole in the bottom of the mag tube and replacing it with and M4. S&W was smart in using torx head screws for the 1854.
Lookin good. Love the old meets new vibe with the Mlok handguard and the original stock with leather cuff. Nice QD sling mount, GrovTec?
Yep, they were pretty easy to install and work great.
Go for it. If you can, throw and M203 on the bottem, a la One Eyed Jack's gun from The Long Kiss Goodnight.Hey guys! This seems like the right thread to ask for some info. I have a Chiappa 1887 rose box edition, it’s insanely slick and hasn’t done the 1887 jammy stuff at all yet. I noticed it’s drilled and tapped for some rails on the barrel, i think it would be hilarious to toss a rail and a little red dot on there for giggles at the range. Can anybody help point me in the right direction? Thanks guys
I kinda wish you hadn't posted this. I have a nork 1887 and I don't need anoother one but this Rose Box edtion is so sweet. I am a huge fan of T2 and I am serously contemplating adding this to the collection. Also, please tell me in came in a "rose box".Hey guys! This seems like the right thread to ask for some info.

If you have any luck with getting another lever let me know, I will def pull the trigger on this one if I can get a large loop. Like the one I have on my Nork...Holy the M203 on the 1887. You’ve opened my eyes to a whole world of opportunities with that one! These did originally come in a rose box when you bought them new! T2 is my favorite action movie of all time, I already spoke to Chiappa’s customer service about ordering an extra lever for it so i can make my own large loop lever with no trigger guard like the original movie gun! As soon as they have one in stock in the states they’re gonna be sending it up
I’ll be back with an update as soon as I hear backIf you have any luck with getting another lever let me know, I will def pull the trigger on this one if I can get a large loop. Like the one I have on my Nork...
Thanks I am happy how it turned out. Took a lot of time but looks great and practical. It's all one continuous length of 550 cord. Here is the first version of cord I used but you can see the weave a little better.
