For sale is a nice browning 1950 sweet sixteen FN stamped gun with the front safety.(i have been told by some that this is a 1950 gun, but according to the browning website this is a 1952 gun)
28" MOD choke matted barrel. Gun has a 14 3/8 LOP and nice blondish colored wood(wood is a little lighter colored than the pics show. there is a 1" repaired crack in the forend. serial # X37065.
This gun is a shooter and has honest wear including some freckling in spots on the barrel. it looks like it could be easily polished off as it isnt deep. I try to accurately describe my items and provide good pics so email me if you have any questions. $30 shipping to your FFL $740 OBO.

Your gun was made in 1950 according to the serial number and the Blue Book of Gun Values. All 1952 guns had rear safeties.

| According to Shirley and Vanderlinden in "Browning Auto-5 Shotguns, The Belgian FN Production", serial number X-35835 date in warehouse was 6/30/50. Serial number X-43700 date in warehouse was 12/31/50. The safety was changed from the front of the trigger guard to a cross-bolt safety around August, 1951 (according to the same book). |
