LIMITED EDITION 16G BROWNING B525 AVES SILVER OVER AND UNDER SHOTGUN/S (Copy)

Description

FOR SALE, LIMITED EDITION 16G BROWNING B525 AVES SILVER OVER AND UNDER SHOTGUN/S.

Limited Edition of ONLY 39 TOTAL Browning B525 Aves Silver 16G Over and Under Shotgun. I managed to get hands on TWO and WITH CONSECUTIVE SERIAL NUMBERS. A RARE thing for Browning to do for any of their retailers. Unless being sold specifically as a pair etc. and then attract a Fair Premium. Admittedly, they do then come in a double case plus also numbered 2 & 1 etc. As such, I and anyone interested in two should consider ourselves LUCKY. It’s an easy enough task for an engraver to numbered up.

IF you are looking for a pair or even considering the investment all I can say is PLEASE do not delay. There are only another 37 of these guns available throughout Europe, possibly worldwide. Once one sells the opportunity is gone for ever.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

Both, obviously, the exact same spec. Other than a difference of 2 ½ oz they also make a GREAT looking pair. Even when guns are handmade as such, they are lucky to be any closer in weight anyway.

30” (760mm) Multi-Choke Barrels and 2 ¾” (70mm) Chamber with ¼” (6mm) Ventilated Game Rib. A single Front Brass Sighting Bead and Solid Jointing Ribs. Set to LONG a Stock Pull of 14 13/16” (376mm) the overall length finishes at 47 5/8” (1210mm). THIS gun tipping scales at 7 lb 3 ½ oz (3.275 Kg). The other at 7 Lb 1 oz (3.205 Kg).

Bright Finished Action with Feather Motif Engraving featuring ‘Silver’ Flighting Mallard to the right flank. Matching Pheasants to the left and Model detail to the bottom. The Trigger and Guard with the same, Matching Polished / Bright Steel finish.

Specially Selected Grade 3 Woodwork which, (for a WELCOME change) I consider WAY above. Some Excellent Pattern HIGH Grade Walnut with Exceptional Tiger Stripe Cross Grain throughout both guns. Deep Colour Contrast and the usual Tear Drops feature ONLY EVER found on their High-Grade Guns.

Supplied in their Original Browning Premium Hard Carry Cases too. Complete with 10 YEAR WARRANTY, Paperwork, Chokes and Key etc.

They ARE as CLOSE A MATCHED PAIR as if Specifically Selected to be so.

As for the Lead Sh-t ‘FIASCO’? READ ON:

THERE ARE more and more None Toxic Shot alternatives being produced. WITH near matching performances to traditional lead and close to, if not matching pressures. Take a look at Horton Gunmakers for their own entry into this debacle of modern day shooting. IF its so lethally deadly to shooters and game eaters how is it every old lead water main supply pipe is not getting ripped out and replaced? To my mind it’s a DISGRACE that the shooting industry did not simply ask that one simple question. NO, they saw an excuse to charge a fortune and that mainly to the detriment of the quarry. Just my opinion …..for what its worth?

Anyway, take a look for yourself:

NOW, to TRY and help speed up availability I WILL also suggest that YOU pass on details to everyone you know who shoots. Then ALL of us start to ask whoever we buy from why they are not DEMANDING cartridges made in this material? Basically VOTE with your WALLET.

YES, it will take a little time for everything to filter through but patience IS a virtue. It also allows everyone who wants to keep hold of their ‘old favourite’ for the rest of their lives. Even pass it on to the next generation and hopefully beyond!

Sadly Steve has now given up on the UK Gun Trade and left for the US. HOPEFULLY a major producer will adopt and cartridges will eventually travel back this way.
