BrowningB7 Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 Now thats a bit different ye you don't see many about. A Lightning model is mentioned on page 64 of Ned Schwing's book `The Browning Superposed`, with a "with-out rib" gun pictured. That one has a matted barrel with a stripe running up the middle which my one doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangemaster Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 I have seen these in the Browning catalogue described as a "Special Becasse", built for Woodcock shooting over dogs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B25Modelman Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 I suspect it was a method of lighening a game gun. As for shooting Woodcock over dogs....BS sales comes to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangemaster Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 Perhaps with such an extensive knowledge of them you should write the catalogue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilR Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 Very similar gun on similar blanket on sale in guntrader in trade section chance of making up a matched pair It's the same gun, this advert shouldn't be in the private sale section. The same applies to the Browning skeet gun advertised by the same seller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrowningB7 Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 It's the same gun, this advert shouldn't be in the private sale section. The same applies to the Browning skeet gun advertised by the same seller. These 2 browning A1's are being sold by me Michael White. These are a private sale from my own shotgun certificate/ browning collection. Buyer can see the entry dates on my certificate when I bought these if he/ she likes. I have used my grandfather's gun trader account to put these up for sale on there. As it states in the add "please contact michael on ......" as these are not Gerry's guns and are not being sold by Gerry White Firearms. Any further questions please don't hesitate to ask. Regards Michael (not Gerry) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
