inherited it... definitley not a model 11. it has the cut-off switch on the left side... st louis, missouri. special steel 2 3/4", nearly like new... comments?
i am simply researching it... i don't know a thing about it. shot skeet when i was a teenager and just now got it back... just curious is all... i believe it is an older model... and don't worry, you can't be too rude for me.
The serial number is the tipoff. The A, B, C letter prefix and the location (on the side of the reciever) indicates that this is an "American" Browning made by Remington while the Belgians were hosting uninvited guests 1940-1945(6).
It will have the magazine cutoff, but another tip is the safety location. The crossbolt behind the trigger type was not introduced on FN Brownings until the early 50's.
The American Browning is pretty much a Model 11 and the parts will not interchange with the FN A-5's.
Still cool guns, and an interesting historical note.
I owned one of these American Brownings about 30 years ago and they are a excellent well built shotgun. That said they are a bit heavier to carry than what I currently favor. I am guessing my gun which had a 30 in. barrel would have weighed in at around 8 1/2 lbs. A lot of them have the older solid rib and they will weigh close to 9 lbs.!
