1996 28Bore Browning 425 Citori


Recommended Posts

I bought it with a view to completely restoring and taking my time with it. I’m now moving house and it’s never going to happen.

It may help if you put on a price and location?

It was posted for about 10 seconds! Unfortunately PigeonWatch doesn’t let you put loads of high quality photos in at once so I’ve found the best way is to write the post over several replies then they get merged in to one. Unless someone else replies before you can get your next one submitted. That’s what I get for posting it on a Sunday afternoon  I suppose.

The stock was shortened by a previous owner and then reattached. They’ve done a good job of matching the grain but these guns were pretty heavily layered so the join is pretty harsh. New factory made sticks are available with the same finish. I’d always planned to refinish this one first and see what it looked like with the lawyer removed and a more traditional finish.

 

Only has the factory 1/4 and 1/2 chokes. It now has a set of 6 Mandels extended chokes.
2 x 1/4, 2 x 1/2,  1 x 3/4 and 1 x full.

It has some scratches and nicks in the laquer finish. All would come out with a strip and refinish.  I had fantasized about taking her to Portugal for a custom job. Might have let the wife come along too. Any enquirers welcome and I can send detailed photos of any areas people want.

 

Action is very tight still. Gun was fully gunsmith inspected and serviced last year when I purchased ut.
