You've obviously have been a big influence on their gun of choice, Gary. From past postings, it's been apparent that you're a proponent of open chokes -- that 20 ga. B/SS factory choked SK/SK has got to be one rare bird.

To make it even rarer it has 28" barrels.

Harry, it is my son's gun. I'll see if I can get him to take a few.

Here are the photos. Not the best but I think they serve the purpose. In case you cannot make it out they are marked **S The chart is from Browning. The ckokes measure ,005 in both barrels.

That is very interesting Gary. I have studied BSS models over time and have never seen one for sale factory choked like this. I wonder if it could have been a special order gun. I love those open chokes. With modern ammo I don’t think it is a handicap at all to have open chokes and I know it makes me a better shooter.

What we were told by Browning is that it is a first year (1973) production gun and that there were less than 200 made in this configuration. The serial number sequence does not match the numbering convention of later guns. He bought it 10 years ago in unfired condition for what he thought would be a good grouse gun. So it has been shot quite a bit since then for everything from sporting clays, doves, pheasants, and grouse/woodcock.
