The Feather-series alloy receiver keeps weight down while retaining durability at key stress points thanks to its steel breech face and hinge components. The receiver carries a silver finish with factory scroll engraving, highlighted by a gold-colored game bird on the underside and a gold Buckmark on the trigger guard.
The 26-inch barrels are ported and fitted with a ventilated, matted rib topped by a green fiber-optic front bead. Chambers are cut for both 2 3/4 and 3-inch shells, and automatic ejectors are fitted. The monobloc is stamped "26," and capacity is two rounds.
Barrels are threaded for the Invector-Plus back-bored choke system. This example comes with a broad selection of Briley Invector-Plus tubes, providing flexible patterning options across disciplines. A Briley wrench is included for easy changes.
Controls include a single-selective trigger and a top-tang safety with barrel selector. The walnut stock and forend have a gloss finish with cut checkering, a field-style forend, a ventilated recoil pad, and a 14.25-inch length of pull. Neutral grip and neutral cast are specified.
Markings include "Browning Arms Company Morgan, Utah & Montreal P.Q.," "Made in Japan/Miroku," and Invector-Plus designations. The NN year code indicates 1999 production. Finish is blued barrels with a silver receiver.
