[1887 shot gun]

your 87 will (should) like the cut down shells.. My China 87's seem to do better with them.. Ran regular crimps fine, just seem to work a touch better with the roll.

Have been shooting 87 for bout 10 yrs both black and smokeless.

And yes, run them hard. I shoot from the hip with mine. Have fun with it

Im going to try both .

But I think the shorter shell with the roll crimp,

Will make things go a little smoother.

 

I cant wait till Im back on my feet .

So I can get back out and play !

Who made your 87?

Its a Chinese PW 87.

I took it apart and smoothed And polished things up .

Im just going for style not for speed :-)

Yup-

Make sure you keep the 2 carrier pivot screws 'TITE'

OK thank you .

What about loading a shorter shell .

Like a 2 3/4 trimmed to shells fully open to 2 3/4 .

And put a roll crimp on them .

This should prevent the shell from being to long after they are fired ?

Drive it like you stole it.

Im a 92 shooter with NO issues that most have .

I run it like I stole it .

 

So you are saying treat the 87 the same way !

I just recently bought me a 1887 shotgun .

Im not a fast shooter by any means .

I bought it because I like the style of it .

 

CAS is my peace of mind from the bussy life I have .

I dont take any of it seriously .

And love shooting with all the great shootes we have here in Michigan.

 

Im a dark side shooter

Just looking for some pointers to make things more fun

and less stressful with this shotgun :-)

[Rifle for B western]

I have three 92s that I would never sell .

I have one Marlin and have bought and sold several.

I would take a 92 over a Marlin every time .

But to each there own .

By the way John Wayne carried a 92 in most all his Westerns .

Just Saying 🙄

[Rossi 92 Questions, Update: Got my rifle...]

I currently have three 92s and two of them I will NEVER sell.

I also have a 1860 and a 1866 ansd a 1873 and a JM Marlin .

I keep going back to my 92s .

Lighter and I can run full speed ( for me ).

And most shooters Can NOT out run a 92.
