Diamond Curly SASS#57086 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I have an IAC 1887 lever shotgun that I would like a longer barrel than the 20" barrel. I am just looking for a barrel not another shotgun. Any suggestions who might sell one would be appreciated. Thanks, DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 There aren't any longer barrels available any more. When IAC first started importing 87s and 97s they made a 26" barreled 97. You could take that barrel and put it on an 87. That was ten years ago. About the only thing you can do now is splice some barrel onto the existing barrel. Lassister has done some and you can't see the seam from the inside or the outside.

Cat Brules Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 If you need a barrel to cannibalize for an extension to weld on, I have a couple of old 12ga barrels (kinda rough). Let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brimstone Bill Willson Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 A fellow on the cascity forum recently install a long barrel on his chinese '87(scroll to the bottom): http://www.cascity.com/forumhall/index.php/topic,50317.75.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolan Kraps, SASS # 24084 Life Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Why, the solution is simple. Just go down to the armory and ask to borrow their barrel stretcher. Then go to the flight line and ask for a bucket of Prop Wash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Are the threads on the Chinese 87s the same as the originals? I read somewhere that a barrel from a 97 would screw onto an 87. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
