The 30-inch barrel is made from Browning Special Steel and wears a ventilated rib with a bead front sight for a clear sighting plane. The barrel is threaded for the Browning Standard Invector choke system for 10 gauge and is currently configured with a Full choke. The 3 1/2" chamber supports heavy 10 gauge loads, and the magazine capacity is 2+1.
The BPS action loads and ejects from the bottom and uses an ambidextrous top-tang safety, making controls accessible from either side. The forged steel receiver delivers sturdy construction, and a receiver-mounted scope base is installed. The front sling-swivel stud is integrated into the knurled magazine cap.
The black synthetic stock features molded checkering for secure handling and a recoil pad for added comfort. Length of pull measures 14.0 inches, and overall configuration is the Field Model in full-size format.
Factory rollmarks include "BROWNING ARMS COMPANY MORGAN, UTAH & MONTREAL P.Q., MADE IN JAPAN." The year of manufacture is 1991, and the country of origin is Japan.
The BPS line is noted as the only 10-gauge pump-action model line produced, and this example combines that distinctive chambering with practical field features suited to the platform.
