The site is under maintenance right now. muzzleloadingforum.com
There is a couple of guys that made several good barrels for not too much money. As soon as it resores I will try to locate them if you want, or you can look yourself. I'm a member there and there was quite a bit of people recommending these guys. I know they were doing rifled barrels as their primary, but people have been happy with their shotgun barrels as well.

Hey Rowdy,

It has been a while but I have used Getz barrels to make a couple of muzzleloading shotguns.  At the time they were, in my opinion, the best barrels available.  They were very accommodating people.  Give them a call and tell them what you have in mind.

Good luck.  I love to see someone shooting an '87.

Lucky

While at work today got to pondering on having the 20 inch barrel roll crimped to a X FULL . That would be faster than finding someone to replace with 30 incher ? And if it doesn't work to my satisfaction the a 30 for the fall season .

Could I inquire as to where you found your 1887?

Thanks

Has anyone got there hands on a long barreled ( Norinco ) there is a rumor they were sent to Australia ??? What about it Aussie's
Title: Re: 1887 shotgun ( Norinco )
Post by: Michael Bear on April 05, 2013, 07:09:04 PM
Since you started this tread I was looking for one.  So far no luck. No luck at all. I may settle on SxS instead. Just can't find these darn things. Australia says you? Where is this coming from?  ;D

I just purchased a TTN SxS off GunBroker and find the need to cash out of one of my other toys. I have IAC 1887 12ga 20" barrel that I will be putting up for sale. SN 08-00XXX, purchased new, fired 25 rounds through it. Very accurate, I should probably keep it. Anyway, I paid $545 for it and I suppose I will ask $520. Shipping to FFL would probably run about $30. PM or email   hbdavis1876@msn.com if you have interest.

I just typed in his name and that came up . I don't know a thing about him , but someone has a beef with him .

It seems this guy does have a beef with him. Noticed Caps web site is down for Maintenance too. I have never had any dealings with him myself. So I can only go with what other people state and my understanding he had a good reputation working on Model 87 Norinco's. Which I do have experience with since I own one.  It is one of the last ones that was imported and it does not have the 2-drop conversion loading. They had discontinued it on their later model shotguns. But other than that I have not had any problems with it. It is just not a good Cas Gun without the 2-drop system.

No problem, I was curious.. heck I have beefs with a lot of people. Including one or two here. Again I had a pleasureable experiance with CC. That's not to say some have not.


Ms Cammie's guy has a great reputation also, don't be afraid to look him up.

What happened to the guns Century was importing ? They imported a few , haven't heard anything lately . Must be on the slow boat from China ?

Can you still find the 28 inch barrels ? That's what I want . Who was the maker of your 1887 ? What's the chance of ordering a barrel from them .
Title: Re: 1887 shotgun ( Norinco )
Post by: Pettifogger on August 18, 2013, 11:42:24 AM
Norinco quit making them several years ago.  There were very few long barrels made and there are no parts for them.  I have seen longer barrels made by splicing a piece of barrel onto the stock 20" barrel.  The guy who did it did such a good job you can't see any evidence of the splice on the inside or outside of the barrel.

We still have them up here in Canada.
I'm not sure how easy it would be to ship to the US.
I don't have a TTN 1878 shotgun as none seem to be getting imported up here.

Have you got a website address to look at?  Norinco quit MAKING them over three years ago.  A distributor might still have some, but there ain't no more comin from China.

That's what I NEED a 28 inch barrel . How would I go about buying a shotgun from Canada ??? Why does our Northern neighbors have long barreled 87's and we don't . This is a MUST for the Vintage Hunters .
