For collectors and dedicated shotgun shooters, certain examples bridge the gap between functional field gun and museum-quality heirloom. A heirloom-grade over/under that balances classic styling, handmade engraving, and precise handling becomes a practical piece for competition and a standout in any safe.

This exhibition-grade gun features a 32″ vent rib barrel with a Broadway trap rib and white front and middle bead, 2 3/4″ chambers, and fixed Full/Full chokes (.036/.036). Shop this product
Design and Mechanical Details
Built on a box lock action with ejectors, this Browning carries a single selective trigger and a manual safety for immediate user control. The coin-finish action, trigger guard and forearm metal are hand engraved and fully covered in fine rose and scroll engraving; barrel text is also hand engraved in script. Bores are described as excellent and barrels are in very good condition with only minor handling wear — ideal for shooters who want reliable performance paired with collectible finish work.
Stock, Fit, and Balance
The exhibition-grade walnut stock and beavertail forearm have an oil finish and hand-cut checkering. Length of pull is 14 1/2″ to a factory Browning trap pad, with a drop of 1 3/8″ to 1 1/2″. Overall weight is 8 lbs 2 oz, delivering a stable mount for trap, sporting clays or upright clay disciplines. There is a very small previously repaired crack on the forearm that is not live; overall condition is very good (S16796).
For collectors seeking provenance and patina or competitors preferring traditional balance and barrel length, this 32″ vent rib configuration yields a predictable swing and extended sighting plane. Its Full/Full fixed choke set favors longer-range shot patterns and consistency across targets. View product details and pricing
