Hello all. I've been looking at a Norinco 87 lever action for something different at the trap range, but I think I'll need something better than the 20" barrel it ships with.

Does anybody know if a barrel swap is possible? I assume that you might be able to swap with an honest-to-goodness 1887 Winchester barrel, but that's a little pricey. Possibly other Winchester or Norinco shotguns? I'm looking for something between 26-30".

Failing that, anybody know where I can buy one that ships with a longer barrel?

I don't think you are going to find anything off the shelf but this is THE 87 man.

This doesn't help but they do come with longer barrels. I've seen them sold in germany with 26" (or there abouts) barrels. So they should exist. In Canada I believe they are most commonly sold with 22" bbl's while in the US they are sold via IAC and with 20" bbl's.

I am not a huge fan of Chinese guns but a 26" improved cylinder or Modified choke barrel would push me to the brink of purchasing one of these guns.

Any Norinco 87/ Winchester 1887 owners out there who have both and are willing to find out if a barrel swap is possible?

Forget the barrel length, I want one in 20ga.

I am dying for an 1887 sometime. It was THE gun I was waiting for an entire year. But all stocks where empty everywhere. So I got my 870 and now I find myself wanting a shotgun less and less, but some day I will get that 1887.

I was however under the impression that barrels on 1887s are permanent fixtures?

Here it is by the way:
