I'll take the canvas belt. PM'd you.

Muzzlelite MZ870 kit for an 870 shotgun. MWS is still in business, but doesn't make these anymore.
All parts and instructions. I had it on the gun for 15 years and used it twice. Functions fine.
Includes a cheap Red Dot type sight.
First 3 pictures are the kit, last two is how it looked assembled.
$85 shipped.

My 06 Coyote Cap '87 did not allow loading the tube after Lassiters magic. You need to decide between drop two or having 5 or 6 rounds.
The obvious answer is to buy two

If you shoot 38 SC in a 38 spl you will build up a ridge of crud in the chamber that will stop 38 spl’s from going all the way in.
Otherwise a good SASS round.

It looks like they are made by Wuxi Bam in China. They make a lot of air rifles and a low cost AK shotgun that reviewers like. Also parts for Stoeger.

They are on the Cimarron website at $623. Pics at the Firearms Depot website show a black finish, no blueing, but nice looking wood. You are probably getting just what you’re paying for and nothing more.
I would guess you need to send it to Lassiter just to get it running right.

Original 1889 vintage, cut down barrel, bore too big to cut threads for a choke.
The favorite local shotgun targets were 2" and 3" steel pipes that you had to knock over.
60 grains wouldn't do it. Ended up with 83 grains black with a modified shot cup to keep it together. Worked great and everybody on the posse felt the boom!

And so would this...
I once loaded up a batch of cartridges for my standard broomhandle with Triple 7. It cycled well enough that I used it in an early Wild Bunch match.

Im going to try both .
But I think the shorter shell with the roll crimp,
Will make things go a little smoother.
That depends on your loads. I found out that 83 grains of black power and 1-1/8 oz of shot jarred the gun so much that a roll crimped shot card would pop out. Ever try to work your '87 with a receiver full of #8 shot?

If it is an original make sure you have a screw driver with you and check your screws. I shot one for a few years, and almost lost a couple of the screws from the receiver.
I did lose a screw from an original about 12 years ago. It was between stages, and I spent the entire lunch break covering the ground with a borrowed 5 lb magnet (thanks Fiddletown). Finally found it in time to shoot the afternoon stages.
Original screws were custom fit, off the shelf ones need to be fitted. The new guns have standard screws (I know this because I'm a slow learner).

I always thought he was the good guy in Posse. Or maybe the least bad guy.

I used a full buckhorn with a Beaches' front sight on a carbine for a while. The double ring was real fast for target acquisition and I never missed with it. Should have kept them when I sold the gun:(

They have been showing episodes on Sundays, but it looks like they are shifting to Saturdays come the new year.
I get the channel on Dish.
They are also showing The Restless Gun with John Payne.
Cimarron 1887 or Stoeger Coach Gun?

You are looking at close to a year of shoots to get good with an ‘87.
Figure the cost of sending it to Lassiter if you want to be at all competitive with it. The difference between the gun from Coyote Cap and Lassiter's work was night and day. He will improve the new guns just as much.
You will be faster with a double, but you will have a lot more fun with an ‘87, especially with black powder.
