Another innovative John M. Browning design, the Model 1887 is one of the most unusual actions ever made by Winchester . Produced from 1887 to 1901, about 64,855 were produced from 1887 to 1898.
The Model 1887’s action is a rolling block design shotgun chambered in 12 and 10 gauge. All 1887s have the very elegant "WRA Co." monogram engraved on the receiver.
Popular special order options were limited to grade of the stock, barrel length and type of barrel. The standard barrel was three-blade Damascus steel, with four-blade Damascus available at extra cost. In addition, rolled steel barrels were offered later in production.
Original Winchester factory records are available for this model (including the Model 1901) from the Cody Firearms Museum in Cody , Wyoming , from serial number 1 thru 17999.
