Browning 20 ga. BSS

[Tinman]

I was at Johnson’s today and saw a really nice Browning BSS side by side 20 ga. 26” barrels, English stock, ejectors, and selector. Excellent condition. 1976 model , one owner. Saw a few on Guns International for over $3000. Johnson’s has it for $1999. From what I understand they are very hard to find.

I had one, they are nice for a SXS...$2K seems steep, but everything in the Gun World has artificially inflated in value, scarcity, and prominence.
Browning never made any of their own guns, they were always contractually made: We used to dismiss Japanese made (Mirouki) guns as inferior instead paying homage to Belgian made guns, but IMHO the Japanese guns are better.
Despite the longevity of design and its historical prominence, I won't buy double barreled shotgun unless IT IS "special" and priced at a substantial discount as they just don't sell, and most of them (sans the special, high quality mfgrs) aren't worth the time or effort. YMMV
