If you're after a sidearm with attitude or a challenging primary for CQB, the Golden Eagle M1887 Gas Shell Ejecting Lever-Action Shotgun; Sawn-off, Standard Lever will spice things up a notch! This sawn-off lever action shotgun replica works just like the real thing, feeding from realistic shells which eject when the action is worked. Being the shortest variant of the M1887, this beast would be a fantastic sidearm for close encounters, offering a 3+1 shell capacity, a fast-to-work action and a compact and lightweight form.

The Golden Eagle M1887 is powered by green gas stored in an internal reservoir which is well concealed inside the action. Each shell can hold 1-3 BBs, meaning you have the choice of a shotgun-like spread or loading a single BB for more accurate shots. This, the "Standard Lever" version sports the standard-sized Winchester style action lever, as opposed to the "Mare's Leg" style enlarged lever. 

 Whether you're working on a post-apocalypse wastelands-style loadout, a Wild West-style setup or you simply appreciate a novel Airsoft gun with an exciting experience, the Golden Eagle M1887 Gas Shell Ejecting Lever-Action Shotgun; Sawn-off, Standard Lever lets you depart from the usual AEG dominated experience and enjoy the realism of skirmishing with a shell ejector!

Description

Whether you're a rootin'-tootin' outlaw or a wasteland wanderer, the Golden Eagle M1887 Gas Shell Ejecting Lever-Action Shotgun; Sawn-off, Standard Lever is the ideal tool for handling close-range threats. This lever-action shotgun is based on the real steel Winchester M1887 in its shortest form, boasting full metal construction and gorgeous real wood furniture. Realism nuts, get ready, it only gets more realistic from here on!

The Golden Eagle M1887 feeds from realistic shotgun shells which hold 1-3 BBs, loaded through the action when opened, just like the real thing. After shooting, rack the lever and watch the spent shell tumble out, just like a real M1887 Shotgun. Being a shell-ejecting shotgun, capacity is limited to the number of shells that fit into the magazine tube, but for a certain type of Airsofter, this is only a bonus! If you love a realistic experience in-game and appreciate a rarely-seen platform, the Golden Eagle M1887 Gas Shell Ejecting Lever-Action Shotgun; Sawn-off belongs in your arsenal!

Starting at the front, we can take note of the intimidatingly wide 10-inch alloy outer barrel; exactly what a shotgun needs. The barrel is unthreaded and you won't find any form of sighting system up top, meaning the M1887 Sawn-off is an instinct-aiming platform only, ideal for close-range and CQB scenarios.

Below the barrel, we have our magazine tube, providing 3+1 shell capacity in this, the Sawn-off variant of the M1887. The set includes 3 shells, allowing you to carry safely without a shell in the chamber. To load the magazine tube, open the action by racking the lever and insert each shell into the lifter, pushing the lifter down and the shell into the magazine tube, just below the chamber. This is quite a complex loading process and there is potential you may get Garand Thumb if you do it wrong; we recommend watching the video above if you are unsure!

On either side of the mag tube, we have real wood handguard panels; a perfect match for the real M1887. The wood looks and feels great, though the best way to wield this beast is definitely one-handed! While the handguard panels don't provide the same amount of traction as modern handguards, they are a big part of completing the authentic lever action shotgun look.

Moving rearwards, we come to the receiver which is devoid of controls other than the action lever and trigger. The sides of the receiver include screws and pins in all the correct spots, along with an engraved logo on the left side for maximum authenticity. Up top, you will find the ejection/loading port, and down below you will find the trigger and standard sized action lever which needs to be worked before each shot to load the next shell and prime the trigger. 

The gas reservoir of the M1887 is well concealed inside the action and is accessible with the hammer uncocked and the action open. With the action open, you will see the fill valve hiding behind the lever, but only when the hammer is uncocked. If you're struggling to find it, check the video and everything will be clear!

The grip itself matches the "sawn-off" barrel length, being a sawn-off grip in "birds-head" style and constructed from real wood. The wood has a deep and varied grain texture and a satin finish, meaning it won't catch the light and give you away but maintains a high-end appearance.

In the performance department, this thing is a real blast to shoot, with a menacing muzzle report and a positively awesome noise when you work the action. While it is definitely strictly a CQB tool, the M1887 has an adjustable HOP-up unit which can be adjusted using the included tool. The tool looks a bit like a shell with a protruding flag, and to adjust the HOP, simply insert the tool into the chamber with the flag pointing up and turn it to adjust your HOP-up.

If you're looking for a secondary with style, unlike practically anything else on the skirmish field, the M1887 Gas Shell Ejecting Lever-Action Shotgun; Sawn-off from Golden Eagle is exactly that. With a highly realistic operating experience and immersive action noise, this is a shotgun for the realism fans!
