Purpose-built as a single-barrel trap configuration, this BT-99 pairs a 32 inch "Special Steel" barrel with a ventilated sight rib and a single front bead. The 2 3/4 inch chamber and Invector-Plus system provide a factory-threaded muzzle for Browning’s interchangeable choke tubes.
The receiver is steel with a polished blued finish, matched by the barrel’s bluing for a cohesive look. Controls are straightforward for the BT-99 platform, with a gold-tone single trigger and no tang safety. Capacity is 1 round.
The walnut stock set includes a pistol grip, straight comb, cut checkering, and a beavertail forend for steady control on the line. A ventilated recoil pad with lattice side ports helps manage recoil. The stock is neutral cast, and length of pull measures 14.25 inches.
Origin and markings are consistent with Browning’s Miroku-made guns: "Browning Arms Company Morgan, Utah" and "Made in Japan/Miroku." This example dates to 2012, and it shows matching assembly numbers on the tang, forend, and barrel flats—details appreciated by buyers who value complete, correctly fitted components.
