The serial number on this Browning Side-By-Side shotgun (20 Ga. Magnum 3") reflects a 1977 production date (RR=77) at the Korea Plant. SPECS: Glossed walnut stock/ fluted comb/ beavertail forearm & deep cut outline checkering, 26" MOD/ IMP CYL barrels, serrated rib, original black textured buttpad with embossed "BROWNING", gold trigger, floral engraved receiver/ trigger guard, tang safety, dual extractors, brass bead front sight, single selective trigger, 14" LOP and is chambered for 2 3/4" or 3" shells. CONDITION: This shotgun will have bluing wear on the barrel - just forward of the forearm, but otherwise is in very nice condition with a shiny/ clean bore and appears to be in good working order. HISTORY: Browning produced the BSS side-by-side shotgun from 1971 to 1987, beginning with 12-gauges in 1971 and followed by 20-gauges starting in 1972. The BSS was a box lock side-by-side, though Browning did introduce a side lock version in 1983. The BSS was something of a hybrid in terms of manufacturing. While it was produced and assembled via more modern production methods, the engraving on the receiver and the fitting of the action was still done by hand. The Browning BSS is one of the most solidly built American-style side-by-side shotguns ever to be produced. FREE SHIPPING & NO PROCESSING FEES.
