The first lever-action shotgun was developed by the American inventor Benjamin Tyler Henry, who is best known for creating the Henry rifle. In 1862, he patented the Henry repeating shotgun, which utilized a lever action mechanism, allowing for faster reloading and firing compared to traditional shotguns. This innovation laid the groundwork for future lever-action firearms.

Did Winchester make a lever action shotgun in 12 gauge?

Yes, the model 1887 was a lever action shotgun for 12 and 10 gauge. They made some takedown models also. A quick search on www.gunbroker.com should give several variations and pictures. There is a new Chinese import copy of the 1887 with 20" barrel in 12 ga. They seem to be a very strong gun and fairly well made.


When was a Marlin 39A straight stock .22 lever action 18-inch barrel shotgun made with serial number N19xxx and what is it's value?

You've totally lost me! Is it a .22 lever action, with 18" barrel, or a shotgun? It can't be both! A 39a with N prefix was made in 1956, but they didn't make one with 18" barrel, so your's must be cut down length.
