I called my buddy(btw,he`s who showed me the photo)to make
sure what shotgun that was.
That was Spencer indeed!
I`ve been gunnut since I was 12,and I made such a stupid
mistake!

Seems I had some kind of "brain eclipse"

As to lever action shotguns,I`ve read the Winnie`87 had
fragile i.e. breakable mainspring,and that it was corrected in the
10ga model 1901.Did they go to coil spring or redesigned the
whole internal mechanism?

Oh! Thanks for the replies
Regards
