CI PW87?

[CountryGent]

So, the repos of the Remington 1887/1901 are available under the designation of CI PW87. They cost around three c-notes, so a trifling thing. If they work, it is a tempting base gun for a SBS project. Or maybe just run as is, after being slicked up.

Anyone play with these? How did you like it?

I did more digging online and the feedback/reviews are decidedly mixed to negative. Oh well, I guess I'll shelve this idea.

Are they made in China?

That appears to be the case.

You're correct. I don't know why I was thinking Remington.

Anyway, I'm seeing too much negative online about these, so I'm just going to shelve the idea.

Well Remington did make many a fine shotgun...

Any of the ones that I have seen at gun shows....the stocks , to put it nicely , sucked.
Open grain...ill fitting or just a gnarly ugly "dirty tire black" color....

That is generally what I'm seeing online; neat idea, but very rough in terms of both metal and wood. If one is willing to put the time into making it work they can be good, at least according to some.

However, I have neither the time nor inclination to bother with said right now. I am always looking for firearms a little out of the ordinary, but have little time these days to work on clunkers.

I go without a lot stuff because I make a point not to buy anything from China (any idea how hard that is?) this will be no exception.

We don't have a single firearm made in China either. Alas, the same cannot be said of other household articles.
