IAC Lever Action Shotgun

[oldschoolgreentube]

From what I understand Browning himself was not happy with this design. Are the problems uniqe to IAC or is the 1887 just not one of Browning's best designs?

[RONAN3745]

HEAP OF SHIT!!!!!!!!

BOUGHT ONE 4 MONTHS AGO & 1ST TIME USING IT HAD PROBLEMS EJECTING ROUNDS! TRIED NUMEROUS DIFFERENT BRANDS OF AMMO BUT TO NO AVAIL.

SENT IT BACK TO IAC IN QLD, TOOK THEM 6 WEEKS TO FIX & THEY DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. RETURNED IT AGAIN & ARE STILL WAITING. IF NOT FIXED THIS TIME WILL GET A REFUND & BUY A WINCHESTER!!!

$850 FOR A NEW LA SHOTGUN THAT DOESN'T EJECT ROUNDS,

DON'T BOTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[baiyuchin60]

Just cycled 35 rounds through my IAC M87. Shell cartridge is not ejecting as it should.  What can I do to rectify this? Or is it a manufacturer defect?

[b666t]

Chiappa is a good thing well worth it

[RONAN3745]

@b666t

My IAC 1887 Lever action 12 gauge has been back to Nioa Trading twice & still doesn't work (not ejecting rounds). Not going for a third time like yourself therefore have got a full refund on it. To anyone out there thinking of buying an IAC 1887 LA SHOTGUN, DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY THEY'RE DUDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[coxcox1987]

on a serious note, the shotty is faulty when i got mine it wouldnt eject at all, i took it back and they sent it away to be repaired. design fault

[coxcox1987]

someone needs to teach this guy to shoot

[b666t]

@coxcox1987 someone needs to teach you how to read

[coxcox1987]

@b666t coxy1987@live.com.au add me on facebook and ill show ya how ya shoot a lever action

[ZombieBlaster]

I want 1 of these coz they hold 7 rounds, but they seem to jam alot

[Chaffee92]

are there any other kinds of lever action shotguns? i want one but i find that one ugly, badass but ugly

[gtr71torana]

i was thinking about getting one of these cause of the 5 shot and i cant have a pump action in australia with my licence class but every one i watch seems to jam i wonder if the chiappa would be better?

[b666t]

got my chiappa and it seems to have dramas to its gone back to gun shop to be repaired will update

[hydra046]

@gtr71torana Chiappa makes good ones as well, but they tend to jump in price from the IAC/Norinco model. Instead of 300-400 dollars they touch about 1,000-1,500 depending where you go

[darrelltrout]

From what I know you arent supposed to shoot 3 inch loads in a lever action.

[freddyk021]

2 3/4 inch chambers in the lever actions.

[b666t]

no one said anything about 3" shells, they wouldnt fit anyway

[AdamGTS350]

Hi, i have the same model shotgun with the same problem. I find that when using European rounds such as Eley (British) they will all eject nicely with no jams. The shells are slightly shorter than brands such as Winchester. Looking at a Winchester super X it has a measurement of 70mm, an Eley First 7 1/2 measures 67.5 mm. Its not much but it makes a difference. Hope that helps.

[b666t]

thank for the advice mate i have returned the gun however and ordered a Chiapa version which came with three interchangable chokes and is made in Italy so that has to be an improvement on chinese junk

[freddyk021]

from what ive heard the chiappa's arent much better than the IAC, and its an extra $1k+ more. Got my new IAC one today, the 87-A or whatever the new model is called... gest a test out tomorrow if it doesnt rain. have you seen the new stocks on the chiappa's?

[3423485]

hey they're all the same. went to gun shop but they are idiots, the guy was pointing to the primary extractor and calling it the ejector. i was told the reason for the leather strap on the lever was because they know they have problems ejecting and that you have to really work the action hard. strip it and deburr everything you can, it helped us a bit, but still shit. make it a game to see who can get seven in a row. check out my vids

[b666t]

the leather strap is wrapped around to prevent pinching your fingers as the lever is split and has a slight pinch point if the leather is not there

[FukYrBigCuber]

i just bought a new iac lever for 920 , there a new batch , re machined . they were hand assembled a machined . but now its all done by a machine . so there is no inconsistantcy.

[3423485]

that one has a safety catch yeah? any dramas?

[b666t]

yeah but hes in usa im in aus

[markunit72]

i think coyote cap fixes these

[houltycus]

how often would it jam?

i know norinco, iac whatever the chinese want to call themselves are very inconsistant.

think i'l stick with my boito coachy.

[jorg243]

Have you tried it out yet.

[churst2323]

can u spin the gun in 1 hand to lode the next shell in to the chamber.

[Otacon237]

You can only do that with certain guns, else you can sprain your wrist pretty bad. Arnie had a specially modified gun for that scene from T2.

[b666t]

its chambered for 2 3/4" shells i checked that before i bought it , it's also stamped on the barrell, and they wont go in if it's chambered for 2 1/2" ive tried on a double barrell i have. thanks anyway its just shit chinese junk and has been refunded

[jorg243]

I heard the Chiappa had a lot of problems aswell.

[b666t]

well ill let you know when it turns up

[KillFrenzie]

What's the plus 2 mean? How come u don't say + 1 like in a semi automatic pistol or a rifle? How come its +2? I don't get it hahahhaahhahahahahahahah.

[b666t]

because mag tube holds 5 and then 1 in the receiver and 1 in the chamber

[KillFrenzie]

ohhhhh ok thanks for that.

[arteondo]

Have you tried different loads? The plastic on the shells can sometimes cause a problem

[b666t]

yeah i tried some different brands and loads and had some success but i wanted to use Winchester 00SG which wont cycle properly. Nioa have refunded my money since i posted the vid and i have ordered a Chiappa which comes with 3 chokes so ill be interested in how it goes. Thanks for your help mate

[KillFrenzie]

How many rounds is a lever action shotgun allowed to hold in Australia for target shooting?

[omgwtfnerfme]

I'm not sure about the actual law but I suspect customs won't like the idea of more than a 5 shot magazine maybe 10. (I think this one is 5+2)

[KillFrenzie]

Yeah, i heard it's ok aslong as it's less then 10. I think it holds 7 talked to another mate who has one.

[b666t]

yep 5 + 2
