Very nice BigJ.
Is that 12 gauge the same model used in Terminator 2?
I don't currently own a lever gun. I had a Rossi .44 Mag top ejecting lever action a long time ago. Fun to shoot, but not very accurate and the action wasn't very smooth. I'd really like to get a Marlin big-bore guide gun in stainless steel and laminate stocks. I think they look really sharp and would be great for the times I want to tromp through the really think stuff where shots are short and quick.

Mike,
I'm not sure if it was or not, I'd have to see the movie again.
It's a cool old shotgun, it was designed by John M. Browning. The Model 1887 is one of the most unusual actions ever made by Winchester and was made from 1887 to 1901. Only about 65,000 were ever produced. It's a rolling block design shotgun and was chambered in 12 and 10 gauge. As stated this particular shotgun was made in 1888 so it's a pretty early model (2nd year of production) I have a feeling that as time goes by this shotgun will become even more and more collectible. Ya just don't see that many around these days.
I too like the Marlin S/S guide gun. I'd like to get one as well to keep my old Marlin 444 company.
Thanks for looking and happy Independence Day!
