Rube Burrows Posted October 14 Share Posted October 14 I have been wanting to put a longer barrel on my IAC Norinco 1887 shotgun. Anyone know if there are longer hunting style barrels for these shotguns? I spoke to Cimarron and they are not bringing there longer barreled 1887 shotguns out till at least 2026 if at all. Would love to add one to one of the IAC 87s that I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Creek,5759 Posted October 14 Share Posted October 14 I don't know if this is true. I read somewhere a couple of years ago that. A barrel from a 97 will work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudflat Mike, SASS #20904 Posted October 14 Share Posted October 14 The barrel from a solid frame 1897 will work on a Winchester made ‘87 don’t know if that’s true with china made guns 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ustas B. Slim 24680 Posted October 14 Share Posted October 14 A 97 barrel can go on an 87, Numrich has/had NOS 97 barrels. I put a sereis e 97 barrel on my 87 to get modern steel and a true chamber for a modern crimped shell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outlaw Gambler Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 Winchester to Winchester works as threads are American Standard. However, Winchester to and from any Chinese made shotgun will not work as Chinese guns are Metric threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rube Burrows Posted October 15 Author Share Posted October 15 Well I was hopeful in getting a new longer barrel but I am not sure anything is available after reading the comments. I guess I should just look for one of the Chiappa made 87s with the longer barrels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boggus Deal #64218 Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 Other barrels can be threaded and chamfered to fit it. Do you have any good gunsmiths near you? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the first time I’ve seen new Chiappa 87s for sale since the start of the plandemic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Steven’s M94 or H&R single shot barrel from Gun parts corp could easily be fitted to an 1887. You could potentially find one with screw in chokes. I’ve used them to make AR shotgun barrels, at least until my shotgun barrel blanks are available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to always desire the unacceptable gun lol I have been trying to get or build a Henry 1860 in 44 Special for years and years now . Several Pards on the wire have one or has had one or knew a now retired Smith who would do it . But every time I take two step towards one . I get knocked back three . I found one for sale in Australia. But it was going to cost 4x the cost of the gun to get it here ( if it don't get confiscated through customs ) But we keep dreaming lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrel work needs a lathe, the barrel shoulder would need cut to index properly at the very least anyway, and in the case of the 87, a mill as well to cut extractor clearance. Since that is gunsmith territory for most folks, having your gunsmith source and thread a blank to work, isn't much extra work. Most people get a quote and decide they can live with what they have.LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
