I agree. My first gun was a G1 325 made in 1992. Still going strong after many thousands of shells. The only time it's stopped was when the bottom striker got gummed up. A quick blast of degreaser and a relube and it was back running. I've shot clays and all sorts of running and flying game with it.
I’ve just bought a 425 in immaculate condition, all original, can’t believe the quality. Added bonus, the beaver tail fore end of my MK 38 fits perfectly on to the 425.
Hi Matt another great and very interesting video , I've just purchased a 325 gr 3 in mint condition, the serial number ends in NP with is 1998 I've been told , its my first gun and very much looking forward to blasting some clays, thanks again for the video information keep up the great work, regards Andy
I have one of these that I have and before me has been totally abused. This is very tempting to buy as almost a small investment although nothing that's going to move mountains later in the years. That's exceptional and I reckon that was bought as a pair and never rotated in the cabinet. I would love to own that !
Great review again Matt, would love to learn more about the GTi like you suggested in the video, I have recently bought a GTi Sporter Ultra and I cant find much info on the internet at all !! Keep up the good work.
Hello Matt My name is Jim. I'm in the US and using my wife's phone to view your excellent video. I have a browning B-325 Sporting Grade 2. It has 30" ported barrels. I purchased it new in1994 I believe. It's in new condition as I only shot it a few times. The wood on my particular gun is fantastic as was the wood on the exact same model in the shop that day only with 28" barrels. thanks for the great video. Jim
I've just bought one of these today! for my son and daughter to shoot, 13 3/4" stock, 28" barrels, very little use, 1992. I shot it first to make sure it all went ok before passing to my son. Bearing in mind the stock is too short for me, I used 21g comp X and its not fitted it dusted the first 4/4 completely. Its got a lovely ring to it when its closed, nothing like my 725 MK2 when closing. I shoot the 725 MK2 and a Beretta a400 multi target and I took to this 325 straight away. Considering how much I paid for the grade 2 325, I am extremely happy! Came with 6 chokes too!
Perfect timing for this video. Have been pondering getting a 525 or 325. Quite new to shooting but seem to have the bug of buying some classic guns for my collection. Local guy is selling one an very tempted
Don't buy the 325 , jumps alot and bites the trigger finger after 60 or 70 shots. Don't get me wrong, it's a really nice gun , but spend some more money get a 525 or a miroku .
It was my first gun, great handling, great quality, and lucky to have great wood on mine. Liked it so much i got a 525 G5. But i couldn't sell my 325 G5. Had a chance to purchase a 20G 325 G5 with case. Thought strong of it but i had to draw a line some where. Great video thanks.
O just got an 1989 325sp it is almost immaculate. It has a 30 inch multi choke barrel. Would say it has not fired alot of cartridges at all. Even came with original box and the barrels say browning arms company, Morgan, Utah, & Montreal P.Q can you tell me anything about that model?
A real classic the 325 and I hope I covered a lot in the video. One of the most succesful guns (in the UK) of the late 80's and early 90's. They literally go forever. If you have any specific questions then please get in touch. Kind regards, Matt
The 325 actually originally came in 1,2,3,5,6 grades. They dropped the 2 quite quickly, I had a grade 2 once, I always preferred the 3 or 5, found the grade 1 too basic and the 6 with gold birds too OTT, and it soon wore off.
Thanks Richard. I am aware of the other grades. I have actually personally owned dozens of these guns. The video was only really focusing on the lower grades and the grade 1 in particular. Thanks for watching.
Yes traditionally trap guns have less drop in the comb than a sporter, for a more head up position and can have a shorter length of pull. The beavertail forend also came from trap shooters, but more and more people like them on sporters in the modern day.
Hi, I was suggested to buy a 1992 Browning 325 with invector chokes. I cant find information about if they can really shoot steel shot. Also what is the barrel proof pressure? If anyone knows that would be very helpful, thanks.
All the information about the gun you own will be stamped on the barrels I doubt they will be HP steel shot proof unless someone has sent them to be tested, but all other information about your gun can be found stamped on the barrels around the chambers. Hope this helps!
@@PremierGunsDoveridge Thank you, steel shot selection is very limitied. As far as I understood, It is around 800 bars. I dont have possibility to check the barrel.

Love seeing reviews of older guns there’s always something you can learn from hearing about them
Your reviews are brilliant- to the point and informative. Really underrated. Keep them coming 👍
Yes Matty .They were a great gun I have had one or two believe it or not ☺☺, one of the best guns for shooting fibre wad cartridges by far.

Great to hear I hope your children have many years happy shooting
Perfect timing for this video. Have been pondering getting a 525 or 325. Quite new to shooting but seem to have the bug of buying some classic guns for my collection. Local guy is selling one an very tempted
It's a little bit different isn't it the 325? But not massively so.
Listen for the ring!
Don't buy the 325 , jumps alot and bites the trigger finger after 60 or 70 shots. Don't get me wrong, it's a really nice gun , but spend some more money get a 525 or a miroku .
Great review Matt, looking forward to the video on the GTI, I’ve had one from new but there’s not much on TH-cam about them
We will don't worry 😊
I had a very early 1990s B325 and it was multi choke. no-one I know had fixed. choke.
lovely gun.
Extremely informative video Matt. Thanks very much. 👍
It was my first gun, great handling, great quality, and lucky to have great wood on mine. Liked it so much i got a 525 G5. But i couldn't sell my 325 G5. Had a chance to purchase a 20G 325 G5 with case. Thought strong of it but i had to draw a line some where. Great video thanks.
Thanks for that, great story and yes the 20 bores are very rare these days
Great review as alway !
Your channel very to the point what I think great
How about doing so video on Krieghoff ?
Just bought a 325 G1 as my first shotgun :)
Thank you for your comment. Absolute great guns. Kind regards, Matt

Great review for a great knowen shotgun over the years.
Can we find spear part easely if we have to ,?
I have 325 grade1 20 bore
Was there a difference in the stock dimension from the sporter and trap ,I noticed the fore end was a beaver tail on the trap ,cheers

Can you tell from what wood is it made ?
very very nice gun
Excellent
Is it heavier than 525 ?
I'd much rather a good cond 70s-90s gun over todays stuff, still good guns just feel very mass produced today
There's always some good stuff out there. And mass produced as well. The way of the world I guess 😉
