New to me & Unfired BNIB

[TransplantTexan]

Just when I think I'm done buying. Hopefully I did good. I think I did fair. Regardless I'm ok with it anyway.


I picked up an unfired BNIB Browning Citori 12 ga. Special Trap Edition at a local auction. With buyer's premium and DROS I'm into it for $1158.25.


It still has the original Receipt from '96 ($1,362 with Tax) and the Browning sticker on the barrel. Original grease is on the breech face. Just wish it had a hard sided case but I guess I'll have to find one.


Been wanting an O/U for awhile. 11 days until a range report (pick it up in 9 days but have to wait for a weekend).

Transplant Texan? Please tell me you didn't move here from Texas?

I'm only here temporarily (since 1993).

Came out to close down Savings and Loans back in the day. Stayed when I got a job traveling the country and world for a software co. Now I run the accounting for a large law firm.

I've got my exit plan in motion. Building a house on the OR coast.

Still go back to TX several times a year.

That sounds like a great find Texan. I bought my first (and only) Citori (my only O/U for that matter) about 8 months ago and I absolutely love it. I tried several different guns before buying and the Browning just swings so much better.........for me. Enjoy!

I've got two 525's. My advice is keep the forend screws tight. They have a habit of loosening up, and the wood cracking.

Also keep the hinge pin well greased. And the barrel ears well oiled, or they'll freckle.
