I've got 1 in original condition (fully refurbished) in 26" skeet format. Very plain (made to budget, I suppose). But she is a beauty. Good to hear the history on the channel. You could say its the grandmother of the modern sporter.
Excellent video thank you for a little bit of history. I own several shotguns from browning. Don’t have that one. Your knowledge on shotguns in particular are excellent.
I regularly shoot with a citori. My dad bought the first one in the uk at the CLA game fair from Bamford guns. They had to go to the Browning stand and ask if it was able to be sold since it was the official uk debut of the gun to which they let him try it out and agreed to sell it provided he left it on the Browning stand till the close of the game fair on the Sunday night
Browning Citoris are still available for sale new.
Great video on some interesting history thanks for posting it
Strangely enough in the United States, a Citori will sell for about twice what a base grade Superposed will. Which makes the old Superposed an incredible bargain today. I have a 61 special trap which makes an incredible clays gun today. 👍🏼
I had one. Bought it used in the early 1980's Mine had a solid narrow rib and 26 inch barrels in a 'Field' Game configuration. Had it ten years and used it for everything, shot really well with it and never had a problem. I was not aware of the Miroku link, mine was stamped Liege, made in Belgium.
I had one, a 28" fixed choke, was ok, I rang Doug about it thinking it cold be worth a few quid more than I paid for it. He told me it was made by Browning to try and compete in the cheaper market that Miroku and Winchester were dominating at the time. Obviously Browning went on to Buy Miroku and eventually Winchester hence problem solved. I can remember mine was stamped made in Liege.
Its stamped FABRIQUE NATIONALE MADE IN BELGIUM !!
Another brilliant gun story about Browning, I'm lucky to have a 725 20 bore 32" barrel yes and I'd loved to own the 50th Anniversary 12 Boe also.
In 1970 the Japanese started to copy the B25 under the name of Charles Daily .The Browning liege (1972) or after the B26 (1976/82) and later the B27 (83/87) were 100 % hand finished and Made in Belgium. Japan came out in 1973 with the Citori The B26 were very strong and reliable shotguns but nearly double the price of a Miroku....of course they had the same barrels (Demi block special steel!!) as the B25 but with a different locking system lampblacking adjustement, ejectors patents etc!!!!!..The only guns with japans parts were the B125(B325) and the B15 (B725) but they were/ are hand finished in FN Belgium ! The Liege /B26 when it came out in 1972 it was the best quality/price ratio available at that time !!!The engineers of the FN to produce it they use modern tecnics !!!!!!!!...Electroerosion,precision lost wax process or tranfer chains.When the B26 cost in the 80s 532 pounds the B25 B2G was selling 1450 pounds..!! Thats why it eventually died out !!!FN found that it could get "similar" quality Japanese shotguns for much less the price it cost them to machine and hand finished the B26...!! Very well made and reliable weapon..I ve got one as a gift from my father ( 1979 ) and i shoot more than 50000 shells without any problem ...the top level still on the right side !!!!!!! Thanks !!!
Never seen one 👀 thanks for Sharing that David 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
Brilliant video absolutely amazing TH-cam channel.
I’ve learned a lot about different manufacturers and models from your channel.
Grip shape has zero to do with hands it is due to the swap over from people shooting sxs then stacked barrels came out
People had smaller hands in the 1970s?
Relatively speaking I believe so. I visited the U.S. Grant home here in northern Illinois recently. It is as it was when General Grant lived there. Everything in the place seems to be in miniature. I got the impression we are on average much larger. Probably due to food today.
