/k/ might not be the best place but I can't think of anywhere else.
So I found a Browning Superposed (I think) 20 ga for 500 bucks. Serial 16xxx which puts it at late 1959 date, I don't think it's a lightning nor pigeon just a standard one. Full over modified choke.
Seems like a fantastic deal is there anything I'm missing here? On light inspection top barrel may be pitted but I need to look further.
This seems like a great deal, what does everyone else think? Know next to nothing about O/U shotguns.
It is a great deal. Period. They're ridiculously simple mechanisms, and ridiculously good shotguns.
Anything comparable is going to be starting at 800.00

...at 800.00. And won't be as well-made or finished.
Decent aftermarket/support system in place. Do it. Go Belgian, and enjoy it.

Here is the top barrel idk what this shit is
>>35042387
Looks like a shotgun barrel.
>>35042387
Looks like just a grainy photograph. The dark ring is the forcing cone area of the barrel.
>>35042517
Nah it's way further down than that. It's about half way down the barrel and is only present on the top barrel

Is there threading at the muzzle?
>>35040842
>Seems like a fantastic deal
It is. Grab it.

that is an outstanding deal. I did some clay shooting with one of them in 12 and it is an amazing shotgun. Just amazing. everything about it is so comfortable and well performing. The crispest trigger I think I have felt on any shotgun ever.

No.

I am just worried about barrel if it is pitted or gouged is it useless?
>>35042948
It'll be just fine. A little bit is normal wear on it. It is a smoothbore anyway.

>1959
Good, it's not a salt wood gun. It should be fine for your needs. A bit of pitting won't be a problem. Given that you got it for so cheap, you could have a gunsmith give it a quick look over if you are concerned and still be ahead.

Well idk how to have a gunsmith look it over BEFORE I buy it.
The ONLY thing concerning me is the barrel. The gun is actually in remarkably good condition otherwise imo
