Malik Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 I've been looking at them for a while now. Does anyone know where you can get them from? Most of the gun sale sites I've looked on, they either have the odd one and 9 time out of 10, they are FAC. Seems to me, a section 2 lever action is a bit of a rarity or am i looking in all of the wrong places? Thanks if anyone can help me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerCat Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Same here, would quite fancy a .410 lever action on a sec 2. Haven't seen many if any that aren't fac either due to shot count or barrel length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildrover77 Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 10, 12 or .410? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malik Posted November 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 12 ideally, as all my guns will be the same then. If not .410 second best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Poon Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 There are some members on here that have lever action 12g shotguns , I looked into buying one, it was a Chiappa copy of a Winchester 1887 http://www.chiappafirearms.com/product/831 it looked fantastic the price was right but the company selling it was't up to scratch to customer care skills Any way a topic was started not long ago on here about these guns I think, can't remember but the guy had an original one that he found for a similar price to a copy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malik Posted November 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Thanks willpoon, this is what I'm looking for! I started looking at the Winchester 1887, then ended up looking at Rossi Rio Grande's and Winchester 9410's and couldn't find any that wernt FAC either because of their shortness or their cart capacity.

kev56 Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 I had my wingmaster pump crimped to section 2. not expensive. could this be done to a lever action ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theshootist Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Your cheapest way into a 12 bore lever action will probably be a Norinco 1887 copy. They are out there but you may need to be patient, and to be willing to pay for S2 restriction (provided it has a 24" barrel). As you have found the Rossi .410s are all 22" so can't be S2. That leaves the winchester 9410, which is a rare beast. I found a S2 9410 on here a few years ago and have since had it converted to S1. They are a lot of fun. Good luck/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Mark. Thanks Mark, that link is extremely helpful. How long did you have to wait until you got your order? looking at the distrubuters. The manchester one doesnt look good from the looks of Willpoons experience with them, Western Shooting Supplies is a fair bit away. unless i got a RFD to RFD transfer. I had my wingmaster pump crimped to section 2. not expensive. could this be done to a lever action ? How much do you reckon it would be roughly? if i find a Second hand Lever action which is the right length to allow it to be a Section 2, this is the route i may take.

aris Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 How many shots would a S2 lever action shotgun be limited to? 2 or 3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 (edited) 2 in the magazine as with all self/magazine loaders. Original here http://www.micksguns.com/semi-auto%20&%20pump%20action%20shotguns.htm Would need crimping and proofing Edited November 11, 2013 by HDAV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChAoS Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 (edited) Thanks Mark, that link is extremely helpful. Glad to hear that. How long did you have to wait until you got your order? Good question. I think that it was five or six months; as I said in the review, they *are* made to order... looking at the distrubuters. The manchester one doesnt look good from the looks of Willpoons experience with them, Western Shooting Supplies is a fair bit away. unless i got a RFD to RFD transfer. It was actually shipped to my nominated "tame" RFD by WSS. I only *visited* WSS to get the gun altered to allow the forends to be refitted. The fix could've been done by anyone with a file but, as it was a new gun, I wanted a "pakka" fix by the dealer. How much do you reckon it would be roughly? A year or so ago, I bought an M37 "sight unseen". As it was S.1 and I didn't have a free slot, I had the dealer get it restricted and proofed before shipping it to my tame RFD. The seller charged me an extra fifty squids. That was for a pump-action, of course. Whether that'd be the same to get an 1887 clone crimped, I don't know. Regards, Mark.

theshootist Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 Be parient and a 9410 will turn up eventually as will a repro 1887. If I were buying a .410 lever action again I would probably go straight for the rossi in FAC. Because it is not a semi auto or pump action gun, it can be sub 24" on FAC. The (I think) 22" barrel makes it very handy (I've only held one in a shop though). Its also a solid top receiver like a marlin 1895 and looks a whole lot stronger than the 1894 clone Winchester. It does only have a half length magazine so would only hold 4 or 5 in the mag compared to 8 in the 9410. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theshootist Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Yes! Perhaps clone is the wrong word - but its a shotgun afterall! I meant 1894 action made up into a shotgun. Gunmart just hit my doormat and it has an advert (p228) for an 1887 12 bore, Fac or shotgun, price on application. www.westernshootingsupplies.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been a Winnie user and fan for years. Prefer them to Marlins too and many say the Winchester 94 action is stronger than the Marlin! I would love to have a 9410 but man do they hold a price! U.
