SainIT Posted October 27, 2021 Report Share Posted October 27, 2021 Can anybody identify and grade this gun from the attached photos please? It is advertised only as a "lux" model but I would like to know what it is before contacting him. Unused, 30in in a pristine Browning leather case. It is a "roach belly" but I will have it restocked. Brownings have a very low secondhand value here in Italy so I should be able to quibble! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokersmith Posted October 27, 2021 Report Share Posted October 27, 2021 Looks like a B1. Classic👍 Most roach belly stocks are on 27.5” barrels, so a nice find. If you get the serial number you can date it with a quick google search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJsDad Posted October 27, 2021 Report Share Posted October 27, 2021 Be aware that its not a simple or cheap job to re-stock a B25 Browning. You also need to take into account that the trigger guard from a roach-belly stock will not fit a pistol grip style stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SainIT Posted October 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2021 Thanks to all and especially to JJsDad! I've had a B25 restocked by Manuel Riccardo before, but it had a pistol grip to start with. I didn't know the roach-belly would be a problem! I think I'll pass.
