What’s Included
- Browning Citori Gran Lightning 12 Gauge over/under shotgun
Made by Miroku in Japan, this Gran Lightning reflects Browning’s late-20th-century production quality. The "NY" serial code denotes 1992 production, and the type code "253" designates the 12 gauge, 3-inch Gran Lightning variant.
The 26 in Special Steel barrels are paired with a vent rib and a single front bead for a clean sight picture. Chambers are cut for both 2 3/4 in and 3 in shells, and the gun uses an over/under break-action with auto ejectors.
Controls are classic Citori: a top lever, a top-tang safety with barrel selector, and a single gold-colored trigger. Capacity is 2 rounds.
The receiver and barrels wear a blued finish, complemented by factory scroll-style engraving on the receiver. The walnut stock features the Lightning round-knob pistol grip, a beavertail forend, wrap-around checkering, a Browning-marked ventilated recoil pad, and a 14 in length of pull. The stock is set with a neutral cast.
