Citori ID help, please?

[Gary O]

My Citori factory box says:

Citori
Over & Under shotgun
Model: C FTHR LTNG 2010 GR1. 16-2. 75. 28 INV
Serial No 23163ZMXXX

Questions:
1) What does all the above mean in "english"?
2) Is this model a "425" ? or what?

What say you? Thanks...

I'm guessing it's a Feather Lighting, made in 2010 with a 28" barrel, and invector chokes. Grade 1.


16 gauge, 2.75" chambers

In 1998 Browning redid the standardization of its serial number identifications to work with its new data base program, Oracle.

1. Serial Number
beginning with 01001
at the start of each year.
2. Date of Manufacture
is a two digit code Z=1
Y=2
X=3
W=4
V=5
T=6
R=7
P=8
N=9
M=0
3. Citori Type 131=All Citori Shotguns

Serial
Number Example:
01001NN131

This would be a Citori Shotgun, manufactured in 1999 with the serial number 01001.

You don't see many 16ga guns these days. It kinda lost favor.

"Carrys like a 20; kills like a 12" sums it up for me...
