Golden Eagle M1887 Gas Shell Ejecting Lever-Action Shotgun; Space Cowboy

If you're looking for a new shotgun with a generous side of realism, the Golden Eagle M1887 Gas Shell Ejecting Lever-Action Shotgun; Space Cowboy is the exciting skirmish primary you need. This lever-action shotgun is based on the real steel Winchester M1887 in its mid-length "Coach Gun" form, boasting full metal construction and a gorgeous real wood stock. The realism is impeccable, but get ready, it only gets better from here on! 

The 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; Short belongs in your arsenal!

Starting at the front, we can take note of the frighteningly wide 20-inch alloy outer barrel; exactly what a shotgun needs to maintain its fearsome look. Named for its length, the "Coach Gun" barrel is shorter than the standard 24-inch Winchester shotgun length, allowing it to be swept between targets quickly and matching that of double-barreled Coach Guns but with more overall capacity. 

On top of the barrel, we find a set of aperture iron sights. This is the first clear indicator of the futuristic twist applied to this M1887 shotgun as other Winchester replicas have a bead front sight. The space cowboy shotgun, however, has a light-enhancing fibre-optic front sight to pair with the rear ghost ring-style sight. When paired, these sights can make for some devastating long-range accuracy and the light-enhancing front iron sight can be used by itself when caught out at short range and there is no time to line up the perfect shot.

Below the barrel, we find the magazine tube, providing a 5+1 shell capacity, the "Coach Gun" variant of the M1887. The set includes 5 shells, allowing you to safely carry them 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, make sure to be careful!

Surrounding the outer barrel and magazine tube we find another futuristic addition to the M1887 platform, an M-LOK handguard. This opens up this platform to a plethora of customisation options, lasers, grips or shell holders, make it unique and make it yours! There is also an 18cm section of 20mm Picatinny rail that sits atop the outer barrel, add a long-range scope and you can have yourself a devastating long-range lever action shell ejecting sniper rifle, that uses shotgun shells! 

The M-LOK handguard has plenty of space for all the attachments that you need, present at 3, 6 and 9 o'clock, the rail space is a unique and appreciated addition to an M1887, it makes this Airsoft shotgun resemble a movie-famous rifle that can deal with even the biggest T-rex, or at least, look good in Chris Pratt's Jurrasic battling hands. The M-LOK handguard drags this rifle from a rootin' tootin' period straight to the current day, a very refreshing facelift.

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 action lever. The standard lever can accommodate gloved users but we recommend not trying any spin-cocking, Terminator 2 style. 

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 contact us and we will help you out!

Last up, we come to the stock which is set at a slight downward angle to allow a clean sight picture along the top of the barrel, and, of course, is constructed from a gorgeous real wood to complete the look. The "semi-pistol grip" configuration of the stock is rather comfortable whether it is held with the left or right hand. 

The butt plate is constructed from alloy and curved to fit the shoulder perfectly, complete with diamond checkering for all-weather traction. Also present on the right side of the stock and around the front of the handguard there are QD sling points, allowing you to carry your space cowboy rifle with ease if you're prone to tried arms or clumsily dropping your rifle!

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 an unconventional primary and the idea of a futuristic old Western rifle excites you combined with the flawless combo of full metal with real wood, then the Golden Eagle M1887 Gas Shell Ejecting Lever-Action Shotgun; Space Cowboy will be your new favourite Airsoft gun. Watching shells fly out as you work the action under pressure is a feeling that can't be explained, but certainly cannot be beaten!
