Brian Wilson Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 I do have a question to the fine people of this forum. If one has a drop 2 done on a PW-87 Clone lever action 12 Gauge shotgun, does this modification stop the racking of a new shell to the barrel? Furthermore, I want be able to rack the shotgun shells from the shotgun tube. All in all, have a good day and Merry Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody Shootem, SASS # 24816 Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 If you have a drop-two mod installed in your ‘87 you will no longer be able to use the magazine tube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three Foot Johnson Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Coyote Cap's "Top Gun" mod allowed the user to stoke the magazine. The downside is the carrier can still be pushed down too far and the top round ends up slightly below the barrel and won't chamber without a bit of jostling.

Kid Rich Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 I have two 87's one can be used by loading the mag tube and the other cannot.The first one, a Chiappa, can be stoked. All it takes is to replace the original carrier a rather simple quick operation. When Lassiter did the mods he kept the old carrier for me and modified a new one. kR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixgun Seamus Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 We have a Lassiter prepped Chiappa. It's not the easiest thing but you can stoke the magazine. It took a little experimentation and practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkey Flats Jack Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Same here Lassiter did the mod on my pw87 and I can load the mag tube but it is a chore to do. Took some time to figure out the angles but once I did it got easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barleycorn, SASS #76982 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 If your going to pay the #1 87 smith to modify a shotgun send him a Chiappa or an IAC 87. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Taylor’s had one in stock so I just ordered one from there if I want to use the tube again. Never have tried to load the tube on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
