The Cimarron CA188720 1887 Terminator 12 Gauge Lever-Action Shotgun is a faithful reproduction of the iconic Winchester 1887, the first truly practical lever-action shotgun ever manufactured. Built around a 20-inch blued steel barrel and receiver, this 5-shot smoothbore delivers authentic handling characteristics in a platform proven effective during the late frontier period and applicable to modern sport shooting, home defense, and historical reenactment scenarios where traditional mechanics and reliability matter.
Specified at 8.4 pounds with an overall length of 48.2 inches, this lever-action shotgun chambers standard 2.75-inch 12 gauge shotshells, a ballistically mature round with wide ammunition availability. The 20-inch barrel balances velocity development with maneuverability—critical for close-quarters applications where a shotgun traditionally excels. The blued finish provides baseline corrosion resistance; the fixed wood stock delivers authentic ergonomics and a traditional weight distribution that shooters familiar with classic shotgun profiles will recognize immediately. The lever-action cycling mechanism requires deliberate manipulation, placing shooter control squarely on marksmanship fundamentals rather than rate of fire.
This platform serves operators and enthusiasts seeking a purpose-built lever-action shotgun for sport shooting disciplines, home defense, or collectors prioritizing mechanical authenticity over modern modular systems. The 1887 platform accommodates shooters who prefer traditional manual-action shotguns and those interested in period-correct or historically inspired load-outs. Cimarron's reproduction is made from an original example in their collection, ensuring dimensional fidelity and handling characteristics true to the 1888 design that saw real-world deployment by Arizona lawmen and railroad security personnel during the frontier era.
