I know thats what they call 'em...but they're more the copy of the 1901. Multi-piece lever and smokeless powder=1901.

Another conjuring of John Moses, I assume?

True but I never once saw a 1901 in 12ga

 

[adamsredlines]

Yes, its the continuation of the 1887 designed for Smokeless.
And thats correct, 1901's were 10ga only...but I'd think the gauge would be less of an indicator of the actual design than the mechanics of it.

I'm out. Got the gun out of the box and it has a synthetic stock.

looks like there's a competitor for the 1887/1901 leveractions

I've went threw a ton of shotguns, but only one has stuck around.... A single shot H&R topper 12ga. Cut to 20" threaded for Mossberg chokes.... have it, like it, never shoot it tho. Even have a 16" single shot 38 special adapter for it too.

One can buy a lever action 12 ga on sportsmansguide.com for around $329.00 I believe. It's not American made and some of them need a little "fine tuning" but most reviews are positive.
Just curious, why doesn't;t the OP want a hammer gun? I think a person has more control with them than the non-hammer ones. I just never learned to trust them without a hammer even as a kid.
