Browning 12 gauge over under shotgun

[quikz21]

I recently acquired a browning 12 gauge over under shotgun made in Belgium I’m assuming early 80s

Anybody have any idea what the worth of this gun is???

I’m not really a shotgun guy and I don’t know much about them

ETA: not much. I hear they are death machineses. I can take it off your hands for you

U can go on the Browning website and track the ser# and find out what the year of manufacture is

I know it’s worth some thing but what’s what do you think

Low end, $1500. Upper end, $2500. My estimate is based on literally 30 seconds of research on Guns.com.

Keep in mind that prices right now are stupid high. And there likely won't be a big demand (niche market) for this particular item.

What are the chokes and LOP ?

What are the chokes and LOP ?

No idea

 

[BarnBuilder]

No idea

If you look on the side of the barrels there will be markings as you see in the picture similar to the ones listed. This may help. LOP = Length of Pull trigger to buttstock

Gun might be earlier than you think

Full = *
Improved Modified = *-
Modified = **
Improved Cylinder = **-
Skeet = **$ (maybe Browning thought that skeet shooters had beau coup loot?)
Cylinder = ***

Grade1 Citori Hunter
There are some variations but over all a
Citori Hunter is a $1000 shotgun in good condition IF you find someone wanting grade 1 hunter model

Buddy has been buying field model Citoris for himself and his boys. One was well used. Cared for, but well used and carried, $900, the others were in nice shape and went for $1,500.

I didn't study the pics, but if it shows use but no abuse, overall good shape, $1,300. Really nice shape, like it should be in a box, $1,500. This is assuming screw in chokes.

Brand new citori grade 1 hunter is 1500 new


Made in Belgium has me thinking maybe low grade superposed ?
Receiver should have model on bottom.
Possible replacement barrel?
Fixed choke?
Citori was introduced in early 70s Japan made 1975ish could be a very early citori ? Serial number would help

Guess its the market. I looked high and low for a BT99. They "should" be $700-$800 new, but good luck with that. I ended up with a beautiful early 70's Plus model with the Graco system already installed for $1,350.

Wonder which is more readily available and which is higher demand.

Every new BT 99 I have seen in the past 8 years or so was around $1200 bucks for the base model . I have seen some nice deals on used BT99s

field model Citoris

I just noticed that add a strategically place "L" to citoris yields another word. Who knew?

I'm not much of a shotgun guy, but I've had a Browning Citori Trap Special Edition with the factory adjustable rib and ported barrels for years. Never use it. I sometimes contemplate selling it, but always think "They are the best O/U made, where would I find another, and what would I have to pay to get it?". I keep it on the off chance I'll take up Trap in my golden years.

 

[mac1911]

Not a replacement barrel

So very early citori?
Superposed?
Some where on that gun it should have a “model” have you done the serial # check ?

Nice gun the trap special was the model before the XT

The Superposed I have is from the fifties like the photo BarnBuilder posted. These have fore ends that are not removable without tools. The one posted above is likely a Citori.
