Browning Citori Lightning Sporting Clays Edition 12 Ga Over/Under Shotgun, 28-Inch, 1992 Production
This 1992 Browning Citori Lightning Sporting Clays Edition is an early-generation sporting model built by Miroku in Japan. It features factory-ported 28-inch barrels, the long Invector-Plus choke system, and signature gold script on the polished-blue receiver. The round-knob Lightning walnut stock and gold-plated single-selective trigger give it the classic Browning sporting look while the top-tang safety/selector and beavertail fore-end provide practical handling on the clays course.

What’s Included
- Browning Citori Lightning Sporting Clays Edition 12 Ga shotgun
- (2) Invector-Plus Cylinder choke tubes installed
The 28-inch steel barrels are factory ported with two rows of 13 vents per side, reducing muzzle rise and speeding second-shot alignment. A vent rib topped with a white front bead and mid bead offers a clear sight plane.
Chambered for both 2 ¾-inch and 3-inch 12 gauge shells, this Citori uses the long Invector-Plus choke system, giving you compatibility with a wide range of modern loads. The current setup wears matching Cylinder tubes, ideal for close-range sporting-clays stations.
The high-polish blue receiver carries gold “Lightning Sporting Clays Edition” script, and the gold-plated single-selective, inertial trigger allows fast barrel selection from the top-tang safety. Miroku proof marks and Browning barrel inscriptions confirm factory originality.
The gloss-finished walnut stock sports the Lightning-style round-knob pistol grip, 14-inch length of pull, and a soft rubber recoil pad. The beavertail fore-end offers a secure grasp during rapid pairs.
Serial number prefix W53 indicates a 12 gauge, 3-inch Lightning Sporting configuration, and the matching numbers on receiver, barrel, and fore-end verify it as an original set.
