True, at the time he was focused on making one of the first pump actions. The company was so interlocked with lever actions he was forced to make this version first
I have one. There are no issues with it. Loads perfectly and shoots great. It's a great collection fun gun. It's different, so it gets some attention. I love it. For the price you cant beat it.
How do you like the Chiappa? The matte finish is not too bad. I tried buffing the finish in an inconspicuousarea area, it turned to a satin finish, but it was easy to take off too much.
@@Tornado1861 overall I love it. It runs flawlessly and is beautiful with the case color hardening. When I first got it the elevator bolts needed tightening and there was what looked like metal shavings in the receiver. Unsure why but it runs great. It's also more than twice the price of this one, so there's that.
@Tornado1861 how is that possible? Isnt the matte finish due to the surface of the metal before bluing? I thought that it would have to be polished and then reblued. I would rather this gun be polished but my research told me it would be expensive to have done.
@@jessemorrison339 I may refinish it in the future. My options from easiest to most difficult are: Give it an antique finish. Strip it, polish it, and cold blue. Strip it, polish it, and try rust blueing. As a test, I used some red polishing compound on a buffing wheel. It went from matte black to almost satin, but I could tell at irregular surfaces it was wearing down to bare metal.
I have only been able to load 5+1 of factory 2 3/4" shells. It won't quite load 6+1, but it is close, I have even tried shortening the mag spring. I can easily do it by substituting two 2 3/4" in the tube with two 2 1/2" shells.
I looked it up and the average wage for worker was $50 a month , now in my area of Missouri it around $4000 a month so using that in today’s money that would be $2000 for this shotgun or half what a man made a month ,
@@ivannieves5708 From what I've read, this is made in a different factory than the PW87. The lever is a different design as well, the Cimarron is one piece lever while the PW87 is a two piece.
According to legend, this gun was the one Browning only made at the behest of Winchester, and was least proud of the resulting design.

i have a near mint condition 1901 10 gauge. They are really cool shotguns.
Thank you for honest review. It’s definitely great option to buy one when comparing with Chiappa prices.
I bought a Chiappa a few months back because these weren't in stock. I personally really like the flat black color.
How do you like the Chiappa?

It's a beautiful unique shotgun.
I own a ica reproduction 1887 and it is a quality product that most people don't know how use it . The Chinese do make good firearms !!
This is the kind of gat that makes your mouth water 💦
It’s a cool looking shot gun for sure! I wish you could change the chokes out on it though..😁
I could probably have it reamed to take removable chokes.
Can you fire the cimmaron while driving a cimmaron in cimmaron?
How does it run with 2 3/4 inch shells?
Oh.the new? Oh shit. I thought they were making them for the last 30 years
Still difficult to best an 1897 which you could get a desent original for the cost of this..
Duh. You don’t buy one of these for the practicality
@@clownworld4655 You a so right. And I am practical .
How do you get it to hold 7 shells?
I have only been able to load 5+1 of factory 2 3/4" shells. It won't quite load 6+1, but it is close, I have even tried shortening the mag spring.

I find mine has to be worked emphatically. If you don't it will not eject cleanly
Great price
25 Dollars, if only!
Inflation in action.

Does it say what country the shotgun is made in?
Made in China :(
@@Tornado1861 damn it :/
So this is basically the old pw87 from century arms just more expensive now... thanks

It's chinese junk. Don't buy it.
if 20ga better. 12 or 10 too big and loud
Make it somewhere else and I might buy one.
Fine that'll be $1000 minimum
Who cares where it’s made.
......need tube extension for more yeye
They used to make a longer one.
