February 9, 2022Fun gun!
I bought this gun a couple of weeks ago and so glad I did. Read some reviews about problems ejecting shells and was on the fence about getting this. Don’t know if century has fixed the problems or if I just got lucky but I had zero issues with the g

February 9, 2022I have had my PW87 for little over three months now, and I have to say I love it. I held off on writing a review until I got the gun figured out completely. It is a very accurate copy of the Winchester 1887/1901 design. It's tough and dependable. Out of t

February 9, 2022I bought one last year and was shocked at how good the action on mine really was. Some of the reviews I was reading was that the gun was the biggest piece of junk out there, but once I tried it and shot it, I really fell in love with the gun, and for the

February 9, 2022I bought to use as grizzly protection in Wyoming high country. Does not eject tall brass cleanly, but with the right short brass ammunition (one oz. slugs in my case) this is a very effective gun. Practice before depending on it with grizzlies, but the si

February 9, 2022needed to be cleaned. works ok with low brass shells . does not eject consistently with high brass . the cool factor cannot be ignored

February 9, 2022Shot Gun was all I had hoped it would be ~~ going to be a lengthy cleaning process. The packaging was a disappointment, lower box was broken in half, Styrofoam had disintegrated from excessive oil on shooter & had crumbled badly ~~ had to discard ~~ all i

February 9, 2022Bought this for CAS, and it needs some clean up and slicking to work really fast. You can't beat the price of this and it functions pretty well out of the box. Make sure you give it a very good cleaning when you get it home, mine was soaked in oil. Watch

February 9, 2022Checked a lot of posts on You Tube took a chance glade I did ! After cleaning it as smooth as babes butt . No ejection problems!

February 9, 2022I bought the shotgun mainly for the fact that it was a lever action which I love, the gun itself is not what you would call an upper shelf gun, the finish is a bit rough, the action is pretty stiff and it is on the heavy side. It shoot well and kicks like

February 9, 2022Fun to shoot and light weight build quality is good as well. Functioned almost perfect but is coated inside and out in oil so make sure to clean well before use. Only issue was a stuck shell on the last shot of the day had to beat it out with a cleaning r
buckmasterg2xl
February 9, 2022This is a fun gun and I am glad that I bought it. Don't buy this shotgun and expect American made quality, the fit and finish is not good. If you buy this shotgun, expect to have to disassemble and de-burr the internal parts of the action, receiver and po

February 9, 2022When I picked this shotgun up it was covered in nasty grease. The finish is of very poor quality with rust spots already showing through. I shot around 50 rounds through it of target load and nearly 75% failed to extract.[ the extractor failed it wasn't t
gpamickey
February 9, 2022I received my shotgun within 5 days of ordering. Buds was awesome and timely. The shotgun functions flawlessly and the fit and finish are pretty good for the price. My only complaint is some of the screws were pretty loose out of the box, lucky I disassem
TheGrayRider
February 9, 2022Great bang for the buck! While it will cycle and fire out of the box it will need some cleaning and polishing to make it run easier and smoother. It disassembles and reassembles easily so it's not hard to get all the Chinese grease out of it. Bud's makes
Drover
February 9, 2022Looks rough and the action was rough at first. But as more rounds went through it smoothed out a great deal and now it is fun to shoot. Still looks rough but in this case I like it that way.

February 9, 2022Good price for gun. Fast service and no hassle. Thanks buds
buckjohn
February 9, 2022I got this shotgun recently, and the first thing I will tell you is to take it and clean it. I am not sure what type of grease was in this but it was everywhere. After I did that, I polished a few of the parts of the action, a lot of them had burrs and so

February 9, 2022This is an exceptional shotgun for the money.Was expecting a rough action,but it was as smooth as most guns.Comfortable to hold and shoot.

February 9, 2022I have had my Replica 1887 Lever Action Shotgun for a good 2 years now and I must say I am very satisfied. The gun is rough out of the box but some polishing quickly takes away the edge and leaves you with a fantastic replica for the price. For $320 you c
CEEJAY
February 9, 2022Great gun! Bought over a year ago and still works amazing. You may hear about problems with ejection, mine had a few but after 50 rounds or so I hardly ever have that problem any more. The action was a little stiff at first but has since loosened up a lot
xxxSportsmanxxx
February 9, 2022this is a gun that I have wanted ever since I saw someone with one at a reenactors meet about a year and a half ago when I finally got this one and got it all cleaned I was impressed with the workmanship it had the action was smooth and it fed shells smoo
cary777
February 9, 2022I bought this more or less for the being a unique shotgun in my display case. I looked at reviews on this particular make and they were kind of mixed. It is a fun gun to shoot, but it is really picky about ammo, and even when it gets what it likes, it wil
jerrydk7Vian
February 9, 2022This product is great. The wood is beautiful, and the blueing was gorgeous. The action was smooth out of the box. Gave it minimal cleaning and it functioned flawlessly. Just rack it with some authority when you chamber a new cartridge. If you are on the f

February 9, 2022Fun gun, retro look, cycles well for a lever action shotgun
skyguy11
February 9, 2022I recently purchased the Century International Arms PW87 lever action shotgun. The issue with this gun is that occasionally it doesn't eject the last shell easily and the lever has to be work in an aggressive manor making sure you push it all the way to t
Thomas E
February 9, 2022I bought this shotgun fully aware of its mixed reviews. I bought it knowing that it could require tinkering to make work properly. It did come with a couple of problems. First, it wouldn't extract empty shells from the chamber. Second, the magazine follow

February 9, 2022Buds delivered once again. As for the shotgun,sure it is made in China and it wasn't one of John Brownings better designs but it is a great shotgun. It may be made in China but is a real jewel to shoot. I bought this for cowboy action shooting and after I

February 9, 2022Good price, Prompt delivery, and Easy Ordering. That’s what it’s all about. Thumbs Up.
Hankerchief
February 9, 2022Bought this just because it is different and at a low price can be a show piece of the past and the path firearms have made without spending a fortune to do so,as for buds they where the best as usual,the shotgun has had atleast 200 rds of low brass 7 and
SirVin
February 9, 2022This rating has absolutely nothing to do with Bud's. Their service was amazing. I inspected this shotgun when I picked it up and everything looked ok. I layer I found that their is a major problem. It double feeds almost every time I cycle the action. I c
rocchunker
February 9, 2022Got this shotgun through layaway, which is a great idea of Bud's. The shotgun arrived at my FFL dealer 3 days after I made my final payment. Excellent service from Bud's! It was in perfect condition upon inspection. Wood Stock looked beautiful and the act
GunnerDoc
February 9, 2022Beautiful Shotgun, especially for the money. Had issue with hanging up on the shell ejection, but a little extra oil on the extraction assembly helped a great deal. Further I found that if I used 2 3/4 inch Buckshot without the crimp on the end, that help
Lowlife
February 9, 2022I the layaway option for my first Buds purchase and am HIGHLY satisfied, gun came quickly and arrived pristine. As for the gun itself, its worth the money for sure, especially if you're like me and have many long guns and want a little something different
Cayuga
February 9, 2022I'm with the other guy that said you have to work the gun with Authority. This is a fantastic shotgun for the money and holds a boat load of rounds. I've shot at least 50 2 3/4 rounds with not one failure. Look in the gun while it is unloaded. Work the ac
Lattimore Kid
February 9, 2022The shotgun arrived in a shipping box with very little cushion. Dispite this, the shotgun was un-marked. The oil in the shotgun is gritty, so it needs to be taken apart and cleaned (including cleaning the magazine). After cleaning, I went to the range wit
Predatorfishing
February 9, 2022I jumped at the price to get this gun for $300, the original M1887 is around $1000 and I thought this would be a budget substitute. It is accurate, and fun to shoot, when it works. Every time I shoot it the shell catches in the extractor and fails to ejec
Tontolayo
February 9, 2022This shotgun plain doesn't work. It fails to extract nearly every time, and on the rare occasion that it does pull the shell from the chamber, it fails to eject it. The internals are sloppy at best, with many burrs and machining marks. The only real posit
tbwoods
February 9, 2022I got this gun a couple months ago. At first the thing had issues ejecting spent shells. Mainly it was Rio buck shot that swelled up but sometimes it would "hang onto" most any shell I fired through it. I have ran through a 100 round box of federal target
T-man
February 9, 2022Foam in box was pretty beat up but did what it was supposed to , shot gun looked great . Taking price into consideration gun is fantastic , I love it . You have to be mean to it to make it function properly saw that on you-tube . Cleaning helps a lot too

February 9, 2022upon first inspection the gun looked good and the lever action could not be any easier after getting it home and giving it a good cleaning i can work the lever with one finger i still have not had a chance to take it to the range and shoot it yet but i fe
trackeralberta
February 9, 2022Gun looked great at the store but doesn't cycle correctly once i got it home. I usually shoot all my new guns as soon as I get them since I live in the country with no neighbors but this one took about 30min to fire 3 rounds out of the box. Very hard to c
Socrates77
February 9, 2022I gave this gun a 5 star because of quality verses price. One can only expect so much when buying a 300 dollar gun. With that being said, When I first got mine yesterday, the action was all but impossible to operate. However, because I had read the previo
packerjack
February 9, 2022Functional but very rough actions. I bought 2 expecting to clean them up. One was worn right out of the box, with dings, gouges and finish wear from the poor Chinese packing. Not a big deal because I intend on re-bluing. One was much better than the other

February 9, 2022Just what I expected it to be an inexpensive novelty Shotgun, The twist is its a kick in the ass to fire. Took it out to the the ranch and blew up some clay pidgeons, levering the action added alot of fun to the sport. The short barrel comes quick to the
