12G Belgian Browning B25 A1 Over and Under Boxlock ejector Shotgun. Made in Browning’s Belgium CUSTOM SHOP WORKS where ALL of the high end Browning guns come from.
The barrels are stamped up: Browning Arms Co. St Louis. Missouri. Special Steel 12g 2 ¾” Chambers to one side. Val A Browning Patents No2 203 378 2 233 861 Made in Belgium, to the other.
I have to admit no great level of expertise as to the full and factually correct history of these guns. Anyone out there with ACTUAL information by all means drop a line. Happy to accept there are people out there with a lot more knowledge and know how!
The gun itself is still a VERY NICE example of these high end pieces. 28” (712mm) fixed choke barrels come with ¾ to the bottom barrel and Full to the top. A great choice for anyone who manages to get onto regular shooting at the highest most challenging birds. At 6lbs 14oz (3.12Kg) this has a single selective trigger and manual safety. The black finished action has basic engraving. Sight rib is also fine, tapering from 6mm to 4mm with a single brass front sight bead to the muzzle.
A Rounded Prince of Wales Pistol grip stock has some very reasonable grain pattern. It measures up to a pull length at 14 ½” (370mm) including the ¾” (19mm) pad. The forend remains attached to these guns too. Release the latch and everything slides forward, still attached.
The gun actually has very ‘slender proportions’ and handles exceptionally well. The best description I can offer is to liken it to a woman who is a size 6 or 8. Equate a ‘normal’ over and under shotgun to being a size 12 to 14! NOT meant in any particular way. ONLY to make it as easy as possible for anyone to get a better idea. As such it easily fits into my ‘bear like’ hands. It WILL also be of great interest to anyone of smaller proportions. Very possibly suiting a lady / younger gun or anyone with smaller hands and grip. Basically anyone who might otherwise struggle with the usual options available.
