How do you unlock the Model 1887?

The Model 1887 unlocks at Level 67 in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2009). It is a seven-shell lever-action shotgun with strong solo hip-fire accuracy and deliberate pacing. It offers more capacity than the Ranger and became famous for Akimbo play, but post-launch patches reduced the dual-wield setup's range. Slow cycling and a lengthy shell reload make misses and empty-tube reloads costly. It does not take camo.
