Browning Ranger 16ga Pump Shotgun
Description
Browning Ranger pump-action shotgun, chambered in 16 gauge with a 28-inch barrel and serial number 4395. Manufactured under the Browning patent and marked on the barrel with ’16 GA Proof Tested’. The shotgun features a full choke, as indicated by the marking on the barrel near the receiver. Blued finish with visible wear consistent with use over time. The receiver is marked ‘Ranger’ alongside a logo, likely denoting a special production or distribution line. Equipped with a walnut stock and forend, the former exhibits straight grain with minor handling marks, and the latter displays checkering in a diamond pattern. Fitted with a plain buttplate with light surface wear and a bead front sight.
CONDITION: The bore appears darker but remains smooth. The blued finish on the barrel and receiver shows thinning, particularly on high points and areas of frequent handling. The walnut stock and forend exhibit minor handling marks typical of extended use but are free of cracks or significant damage. Checkering on the forend remains clear with light wear. Action cycles properly, and the fit between barrel, receiver, and furniture is tight. Overall, this firearm shows signs of honest use while maintaining structural integrity and functionality.
