Description:

Manufactured in Belgium in 1953, this shotgun features a single silver bead front sight on a vent rib barrel with select grade, high gloss, checkered European walnut round knob pistol grip stock and forearm with finger grooves, gold plated trigger and black hard rubber "FN" "BROWNING / AUTOMATIC" marked buttplate. It has the standard floral scroll engraving on the receiver and standard left side markings. Chambered for 2 3/4 inch shells and choked modified. Length of pull is 14 1/4". Complete with 16 boxes of 16 gauge shells, 9 Remington, 2 Winchester, 2 Peters, 2 Western and 1 Federal, some are partially full.

Rating Definition:

Refinished with virtually all of the finish remaining. There are two small areas of pin prick type pitting on the left side of the receiver and a small area on the left rear of the barrel that have been finished over and some of the markings and engraving are weak, otherwise the engraving and markings are clear. The wood has been refurnished and some of the re-checkering on the left side of the wrist is poorly done. The stock wrist doesn't fit flush against the receiver, but is nice and snug on the tangs. Otherwise all of the high gloss varnish remains and there are only the slightest handling marks. The action is excellent.
