Fun 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

I 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

I 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

I 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

Bought 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

I 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

This 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

Great 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

Looks 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.

I 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

This 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

I 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
