Firearm Forum Question: Lever Action Shotguns

Ask A Firearms Question:
I saw you had a Topic posted about Lever Action Rifles, how about doing one on Lever Action Shotguns?
Thank you Clearance Beaks.

The Winchester 1887 Lever Action 10-Gauge Shotgun: This is where it all began and most of the lever action shotguns made today are clones of this Winchester patent. This shotgun was made famous in the movie Terminator 2 with Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The Chiappa's 1887 Lever Action 12-Gauge Shotgun, latest in the clones of the Winchester:
Coyote Cap Model 1997 Lever Action 12-Gauge Shotgun, a follow-up to the IAC-Norinco Clone:
The Hoss Armaments Co Bonecrusher 12-Guage Lever Action Shotgun, latest in design of a Lever Action Shotgun:
IAC-Norinco 12-Gauge 1887 Lever Action Shotgun, the original Winchester clone but in 12-Gauge, others soon would follow as shown:
 The Rossi Circuit Judge Lever Action 410/45lc Lever Action Shotgun:

Answer:

As requested - Above, I have included some typical Lever Action Shotguns and styles by various Manufacturers.
Winchester was the patent holder and creator of the Lever Action Shotgun, but it was in 10 Gauge. The clones that followed were mostly in 12 Gauge 2 3/4-inch shotgun shells.
I own a IAC-Norinco Lever Action 12 Gauge, many of the less expensive shotgun ammunition will cause it to jam, example: Olin (yes, Winchester, the same company that had the M-22 Ammo in 22 Caliber LR Recall).
The Chiappa is suppose to be high quality, although I have never seen one. But they are quite pricy. Coyote Cap no longer makes one but their lever action was high quality with no jamming.
Yes you can legally hunt with these like any other shotgun. Most were made for Cowboy SASS Shooting and Home Defense.
