Lever Action Shotguns

Buying Lever Action Shotguns in Australia

Magnum Sports stocks the lever-action shotguns available to Category B licence holders in NSW: the Adler A110 in Synthetic, Synthetic Bronze and All Weather form, the Adler B220, the Chiappa 1887 and pre-owned A110, B220 and IAC 1887 examples on consignment. A lever-action shotgun with a magazine capacity of five rounds or fewer is a Category B firearm in NSW; more than five is Category D. Every one needs a Permit to Acquire.

Lever-action shotguns became popular in Australia because they give a licensed hunter or pest controller a fast-cycling repeating shotgun without a Category C licence. The Adler A110 is the standard choice at $1,083 to $1,160: 12 gauge, five-round tube, 20 or 28 inch barrels, interchangeable chokes and a synthetic stock. The B220 at $837 is the budget version and the Chiappa 1887 the traditional cowboy-action gun.

Five are on hand today, including new Adler A110s and pre-owned A110s and a Chiappa 1887; others are ordered in. Note that straight-pull and lever-release shotguns such as the Adler B230 and Axor Hardhead have moved to Category C under the 2026 reforms and are not in this collection.

      Common questions

      What licence do I need for a lever-action shotgun in NSW?
      Category B, provided the magazine holds five rounds or fewer; lever-action shotguns with a capacity of more than five rounds are Category D and effectively unavailable. All our Adler and Chiappa lever actions are supplied in five-round form. A Permit to Acquire is required for each.
      How much is an Adler A110 in Australia?
      At Magnum Sports the Adler A110 Synthetic is $1,083, the Synthetic Bronze and All Weather $1,160 and the Adler B220 Synthetic $837 (September 2026). Pre-owned A110s are regularly listed from about $400.
      Is the Adler A110 any good for pest control?
      Yes. It is the most common lever-action shotgun on Australian farms: five 12-gauge rounds, a 20-inch barrel option, chokes for everything from rabbits to foxes and a synthetic stock that shrugs off weather. Feed it quality 2¾-inch loads and keep the action clean and it is reliable.
      Are straight-pull shotguns still legal in NSW?
      Under the 2026 reforms straight-pull, pump-action and lever-release shotguns have been moved to Category C, so they are no longer available to recreational Category A/B licence holders. Lever-action shotguns holding five rounds or fewer remain Category B, which is why the Adler A110 and B220 stay in this collection.
      Which lever-action shotguns are in stock?
      Available today: new Adler A110 models, pre-owned Adler A110 and B220 examples and a pre-owned Chiappa 1887. Other configurations are ordered from the distributor.
