I have finally taken a nice Tom with a long barreled 87 . I used black powder ( old E ) and a healthy dose of # 5 shot . This season I have called 2 birds in one was a nice jake and the other was a nice Tom . The Tom had a 11 inch beard and 1 1/8 spurs and weighted 25 pounds .

The '87 is a great shotgun! Nice work with an iconic firearm. I love mine - perfect for black powder CAS. Mine has a 32" full choke 12 gauge barrel.
Nice bird too!

Gabe thanks for the kind words .I was real Happy with this bird I was able to call him in at the end of season . And we are having Turkey for Supper . I love to eat Turkey as much as I love to Hunt them .

This shotgun is not an original Winchester . It is a Chinese gun that Frog installed a 28 inch barrel on . He also fitted it with choke tubes which works Great .

Greetings, RF!
Those Win 87 Shotguns are really handsome, and I like what you had
done to yours. Bravo on the Turk!
I'd really like to budget for one...!

Well it's almost Turkey season . I am planning my hunting trip . I have lots of BP shotgun shells loaded . Do we have any Turkey Hunters out there .

I have taken my 87 with a 20 inch barrel and tubed it . I am wanting to see the difference between a 20 inch barrel and a 28 inch barrel with the same tube size . Will they perform the same ?

Got my shotgun back yesterday . Fired a few test rounds and everything is working . Will start testing patterns this weekend . If she has a good tight pattern at 40 yards that will be my Turkey gun this season . I have posted a picture from the past , just to see if I could . Thought I might have forgot .
