Here’s the lever gun that helped establish the repeating shotgun, Introduced in the West in spring 1888, this 5-shot smoothbore quickly became a success and saw fair usage during the latter years of the frontier.
With nearly 64,000 of them made before 1899, the gun was carried by Arizona Sheriff John Slaughter, and the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad issued ’87s to its messengers.
