When evaluating a used semi-automatic shotgun for sporting or defensive applications, factory service history and proven component replacement matter as much as cosmetics. A properly refinished firearm can offer like-new reliability without the uncertainty of aftermarket fixes, and the details here make the difference for buyers who want both performance and documented service.

BROWNING MAXUS — this example was refinished by BROWNING under a factory recall, with the stock and forend furniture replaced due to a sticky condition, fully tested and returned in excellent condition. Shop this product

Factory Refinish and Service Details

The factory recall service is a major selling point: BROWNING addressed the sticky furniture by replacing components with factory parts, then function-tested the gun before returning it to the owner. The shotgun ships in the original factory return box with the Browning label intact, which is useful documentation for collectors and practical buyers alike. This provenance reduces risk compared with third-party repairs.

Chamber, Choke and Field Performance

Key specs that affect real-world use are clearly listed: a 3″ chamber and a 1-KICKS .GT.680 choke. The 3″ chamber gives flexibility to run a variety of 2 3/4″ and 3″ loads for hunting or target work. The 1-KICKS .GT.680 choke indicates a relatively tight constriction designed to deliver dense patterns at common sporting ranges — useful for upland birds, turkey work, or tighter clays patterns where a consistent, controlled pattern matters. No specific caliber is listed for this offering, so confirm shell compatibility on the product page before purchasing.

As a Semi Auto in the Browning lineup, the MAXUS platform is known for reliable cycling and recoil mitigation when paired with appropriate loads. The listing specifies Model: Various, so visual inspection and exact model verification are recommended.
