The receiver carries extensive scrollwork with wildlife scenes: two flying geese on the left panel and two turkeys on the right. The engraving wraps around the serial area and is signed "Michael Collins." This MICHAEL COLLINS ENGRAVING sets the shotgun apart as a distinctive, custom-detailed BPS.
The 28-inch steel barrel has a vent rib and is threaded for Browning Invector choke tubes, with a single front bead for a clear sight picture. The chamber is 3 1/2 inches to accommodate 10 gauge magnum loads, and the magazine capacity is 3+1.
Designed with bottom ejection and bottom loading, the BPS offers fully ambidextrous operation. A top-tang safety further supports easy left- or right-handed use. The receiver and barrel wear a matte blue/black finish for low glare.
The black synthetic stock and fore-end feature molded checkering for grip and a recoil pad for added comfort. Length of pull measures 14.1 inches. Markings include "BPS Special Steel," "10 GA" on the magazine ring, and "BROWNING ARMS COMPANY MORGAN, UTAH & MONTREAL P.Q., MADE IN JAPAN."
