The friction ring setup you posted above should be fine. If you want to know more about the gun post the SN and I can look it up for you. I have about every piece of historical literature Browning ever published

Thanks, I'll post it later.

I looked it up last year and I think this one was made in the 50s or 60s. I have 0 ability to recall numbers correctly so I may be wrong. It has a solid rib on it. I think the barrel is fixed modified choke. The feller who left it to me used to hunt pheasants and quail back in the day but it was pretty rare. It probably hasn't been fired much unless he bought it used.

JD,

What can you tell me about a sweet sixteen S/N #G77935 ? Do you have any original literature for this?

Thank You

What info do you have on a 68G 30024 serial number if you don’t mind?


If we’re showing off…
