My buddy has a 1956 Browning Lightening 20 ga. that's simply amazing. It has a lot of history too. He bought it about 30 yrs. ago. While out bird hunting he leaned it against his truck, then forgot to pick it up drove off, he was all the way home before he realized it was missing. Now this was in the middle of no where, so he drove back out and it was gone, so he figured that was the last he would see of that beautiful shotgun.
Several days later he saw a lost and found ad, in which someone had found a Browning Lightening laying on a remote road, no details, as the person posting the ad wanted to verify the true owner by the details of it's location. Sure enough, he got his Browning back.
It doesn't end there, he had sent it in to Browning to have it re-blued, stock refurbished, and some general maintenance, naturally this was an expensive endeavor. As soon as he got it back, he took it out for some upland game bird hunting. Some how he managed to either get mud in the barrel, or a wad didn't clear the barrel, anyway, when he pulled the trigger, the top barrel bulged right near the muzzle. Back to Browning, and expensive new barrel later he had her back up and running again.
They're not high end SG's, but my youngest son and I both have old Wingmaster's. His is a 1965 if I recall, 2-3/4" chamber, mod choke, absolutely beautiful and as slick as snot. Mine isn't quite as old, 1982, 3" chamber, mod. choke, in very nice condition and also as slick as snot.
Don't have the ways nor knowledge how to post pics, sorry.
