Introducing the Browning Model BPS Field, a Pump Action Shotgun that expertly combines craftsmanship and functionality. Manufactured in 1978 by the esteemed Browning, this 12 Gauge firearm offers robust construction and reliability, making it a captivating prospect for both collectors and practical users alike. Despite showing some signs of prior use and handling, this shotgun remains in perfect working order, with an excellent bore condition and an overall good condition.
The Model BPS Field presents a glossy checkered walnut wood 2-piece stock with a rubber recoil pad, complete but with minor signs of wear on the right side of the frame, barrel, trigger, magazine tube, and action bars. These minor imperfections do not affect the flawless operation and functionality of the shotgun. The wood stock, albeit chipped and scratched in places, adds to the vintage charm of this firearm.
What sets this model apart is the single shot or repeater selector switch on the magazine tube, a feature that was later discontinued. This switch allows the shooter to choose between single-shot loading and magazine tube repeater chambering, providing enhanced flexibility during use. The shotgun also boasts a front fixed bead sight, a vent rib barrel, and a fixed IM (Improved Mod) choke, all contributing to its impressive performance.
Originating from Japan, this blued finish shotgun is a testament to Browning's reputation for quality and robustness. The 12 Gauge caliber, coupled with a capacity of 4+1, ensures powerful and reliable shooting. This model is also known for its balanced design and swing, thanks to the elongated layout of key components. Moreover, the bottom ejection system provides ambidexterity, making the BPS Field a unique offering in the shotgun market.
Whether you're a field sports enthusiast, seeking a reliable firearm for self-defense, or a collector desiring a piece of firearm history, the Browning Model BPS Field is an exceptional choice. The combination of its historical significance, versatile features, and durability make this shotgun not just a firearm, but a testament to Browning's legacy of quality and performance.
