I am looking for a place to buy a lever action shotgun. What brand is a good one? I have a couple of old winchesters but can not handle smokeless powder. I am looking for a modern one that looks like those that I can use. Any ideas or help would be appreciated.
 
Chiappa makes an upgraded replica of the Winchester lever action Model 1887 that's suitable for modern smokeless loads.
 
I've wondered why someone like Mossberg hasn't taken their Mossberg 500 pump as a basis for the design and make a lever version out of it. If it used as many common parts as possible it couldn't be too hard to do. I would think it would sell like hot cakes.
 
Winchester makes one in .410, called the 9410. Same action and everything as the 94, except it has a smoothbore.

Chiappa, Taylors, DGW, and IAC are the only ones that make them now, but I wouldn't trust a factory IAC. Ejection issues out the ass.
 
I've got an IAC/Norinco it is a very nice shotgun no jams and cycles very smoothly. The first few models were pretty rough and had a lot of quality issues but the later ones (like mine) are alot better. The first lot of chiappas were the same and had lots of quality issues and were twice the price but i've heard they have sorted out there issues now too.
