What shotgun is the Terminator carrying throughout the terminator movies?

Question

I was wondering what shotgun the Teriminator uses in the movies. Its not a pump, but the loading action is more similar to that of a Winchester repeating rifle

Answer 1

The sawed-off shotgun used by Schwarzenegger throughout the film was a modified Winchester Model 1901 10ga lever-action shotgun, modified especially for the film to allow it to be "flip-******" by the actor in several of the film's scenes.

Admittedly, I got that from Wikipedia.

Answer 2

It's a Winchester 10 gauge sawed-off shotgun, model of 1901. - an antique that's become rather rare these days. It made for great cinema, didn't it? It's lever had been enlarged like the lever on the Winchester's used in the 60's TV series's "The Rifleman" ,and "Wanted Dead or Alive". This allows him to shoot it one handed and work the action by holding the lever and sling the gun back and than forward.

Very, very cool gun. Here one is in uncut form.
