- The military never made a Model 1887 Trench Gun, so I went about fixing that little oversight.
See this gun (before the mods) on the range here: • Century Arms 1887 Leve... - Věda a technologie
This video quality sucks today. Lighting was all wrong when I filmed and I was up against a rough deadline to get this done. Sorry about that! We'll have better footage at the range with this thing.
how did you get the trench gun heat shield right up against the magazine tube ? Doesn't the tube cap have a bracket that clamps around the barrel, that should have gotten in the way of the bayonet lug ? Did you have to make a new plug for the mag tube ?
@@jamesmatthewthomas2758 the 1887 and 1897 have the same magazine tube cap with a rod that sticks out the front for the barrel clamp to grab onto. The bayonet mount slides over this rod. That was the easiest part of this build, lol
@@booliganshootingsports Really appreciate the replay, have to say though, I have looked for the heat shield after watching this video ... and it's nowhere to be found. everywhere is out of stock or 'an original" so they want like $800 for it. can you include a link where I can actually buy a replica for my build ?
@@jamesmatthewthomas2758 I got mine from SARCO, jump on their notification list to find out when they’re back in stock!
Needs an enlarged cocking lever to complete the look
There's a weapon mod for Fallout New Vegas that has an 1887 named a Trench Shotgun.
Oh HELL YEAH. That's exactly the kind of yeehaw-nonsense that makes me purchase new stuff, lol. Never thought I'd add one of the Chinese 1887's to my list, but I guess I have to now
THERES A CHEAPER 1887. NO WAY lol
Apparently they aren't very good
Good luck fella, they're a little hard to find nowadays!
Way more interesting than just sawing it down into a t2 replica. Really inventive as always. You never fail to make exciting range toys.
Sweet project but that bayonet takes it to the next level, literally! Another great build.
Samurai vs Cowboy in Pacific theatre looking good
CRS Firearms did the exact same thing. And now I am inspired to do the same. Although i kind of want to recreate the 1887 from Far Cry Blooddragon.
Sweet! Now do a pump action M1 Garand.
🤣
Well now! I now have a project for my own ‘87. Cool idea dude!
I literally just googled this to see if it was a thing because I own the exact same model. With your little vid im gonna start getting parts to make a "Trench 1887"
I like that idea, something I would conjour up in my head.
If a steampunk T800 exists, this is his weapon.
Very steam punk and serviceable. 10/10.
Sweet build mate👌👌 the first gun I ever purchased was an iac 1887 still have it now when I first got it I was having trouble with it cycling until I spoke with and old Western action shooter who told me to shoot it like you stole it and never had a problem with it cycling again🤙🤙 5 in the mag 1 in the carrier 1 in the spout happy days 🤙🤙🤙
I love it! However I just realized I paused the vid (a week ago) when you were talking about the heatshield and started trying to find it and whether I could fit it on my mossberg 500...finally finished watching it today and love it even more with the sword on the front!
it’s beautiful.
so crazy to have been a subscriber for so long and to see where your channel has gone its awesome keep it up booligan
That is awesome 👌... first video of yours that I've seen, and now it's time to binge watch your channel. New sub!
I APPROVE.
Looks gorgeous. Nice
You had a good idea. Thanks for the video!
Yeah man. ! Just saw cimmeron is making a repro 1897 soon.
A really cool alternate history 1887 would be like that one but without the bayonette lug, and an extended barrel.
It would be called the "bunker blaster"
The lore would be that the end of the barrel would be placed though a hole in the bunker, and would be shot with the barrel coming out the other end, as the action and reloading would be safe and on the other side of the hole
....so just a standard Model 1887?
New and permanent Subscriber.
Thank you very much for this video and all of your Hard work on this Project, wow be still my heart I just got into Cowboy action Shooting and this 1887 is PURE BEAUTY !!!
Looks really good I really been wanting to pick up one of these pw87 replicas just none around locally
Another step into a fantasy: this trenchgun birthed on 1901 Winchester 10 gauge 2 7/8inch.
Excellent!
I've got a Chiappa T-Model that I suddenly realize is severely lacking the ability to mount a bayonet. An issue that I think I may now have to remedy.
I have a pw87 and I just acquired an original Winchester 1887. Maybe I will project the pw?
In 1887, shotgun shells were Black Powder, and available in 2 ³/⁸" & 2 ¹/²". The pw87 has the same dimensions as the original. Modern shells are longer. If you hand load, you can make them in the appropriate shorter length, and it will cycle easier.
God I’m in love
i thought about doing this to mine before seeing the video, i'm so glad to see this has been done and i'm not a complete bozo for thinking about it! i'd probablly do a trigger job on mine as well as adding a trap recoil pad from limbsaver as well as adding removable chokes though. sad that the heatshield has gone up so much in price... waiting to see when they will be availlable... my pw87 had an off spec barrel (a 24-25'' one) so i'll have to cut it down to see if my haunch is true and that the barrel is actually badly forged (i can see the thickness variation when looking at the wals of the barrel so i can guess where the bore center is found) by the way they are made by norinco, they just use different names. mine has another writting on it since it's for canadian market.
nice project
I.... Kinda dig it... May have to consider doing this myself.
you did what I have been dreaming of for my pw87
I LOVE IT!
I like the way you think sir
*Thats pretty dope*
I need this in my life
Neat! I can dig it
So we're taking the shotgun that was used in Terminator 2 into the trenches I'm down with that
Imagine being the last cowboy in Europe.
Did you get that commissioned through CRS firearms?
I built it myself.
@@booliganshootingsports that's awesome! Nice job on it! I only asked because another CZcamsr by the name of CRS firearms did something similar for a customer he had recently and that's why I asked, great minds think alike and it's an awesome little shotgun!
Doom guy is intrigued
I'll take three of them!
I’ve killed two pheasants with a PW87, I came to the conclusion it sucks for hunting, would be a pretty good gun for stagecoaches or trains to dissuade robbers in the old west
I own 1 original 1887 myself a 2th model with 2 screws in the handguards and i have for sale 2 87s now as i buy antique guns in the USA and i had plenty of 1st version (in fact i have one for sale now but i never ever saw one with loose handguards to be honoust......Its a shame the copies 100+ years later cant compete with quality in terms of handguards vs the originals.
Slightly strange but nice to see
AWESOME .... Perfect for SteamPunk 😆😆😆👍👍
Awsome
Stupid algorithm. 😓 Cool video, cool gun mod!!!
How is the balance with the bayonet when operating the lever (or just in general)? Does it affect it in any what you did not anticipate?
You're using the wrong shotgun cowboy. It's the 12 gauge, 1887 pattern pump action shotgun developed by John Browning with the slam fire option using double ought buck and brass casings. The bayonet just made it more badass.
That’s the point. The 1897 is what they made the trench guns out of. This theoretical alternate history 1887 trench gun is the point of this project. I literally go over it in the first minute or so of the video…
Guns are fun.
Welp, time to make a video or tabletop game of Alternate history WW1
ok so the first gun I got that wasn’t gifted to me was a PW87, and I’ve always wanted to turn it into a trenchy
What if the lever was also the grip but the stock stayed in your shoulder
This is fuckin cool. Ive always been a fan of scatter guns and older models. This.... this is something i need in my life do you think numerich makes a shield for a mossberg shockwave?
So I got myself a trench gun heat guard! How did you get the handguard to fit over top of the connector where the magazine tube connects to the barrel?
Needs a big loop lever.
looks like the one my buddy Yip did on facebook a month or two back
I want one thanks lol
I need this like a hole in the head. I heard there are 2 Chinese manufacturers. One works with some gunsmithing. Don’t remember who makes them
Yeah funny thing when winchester had him make that shotgun he tried to convince them to let him do a pump action, they insisted that he make it a lever action
So out of spite he made it overcomplicated and not that reliable so then they would let him do the pump. That gun was originally chambered in 10ga black powder and wasn't really all that reliable then, its now been rechaimbered in 12ga and they are even less reliable due to the smaller parts a 12ga has compared to 10ga. They are neat but there is good reason these guns never took off in the commercial or military markets anywhere
But can it slam fire
Push the lever forward as you cycle.
Trust me
This needs to be in hunt showdown terminus bayonet.
I want one
Ah the 1887 not the most reliable even under perfect conditions
Yeah…YEAH WHY DIDNT THEY MAKE THIS!?
Where'd you get the bayonet?
So the first one (the wrong one) I bought from Ebay, and the second one came from one of my Instagram followers!
No way, can’t slam fire it
M1887 IN WW1?
“Alternative history” is literally in the title and explained in the video lol.
I wanted to do this to the shitty Norinco 87 clone I had but I ended up selling it cus I hated it
Requisite please make a 3d printed swedish k comment.
