What’s Included
- Browning B-80 20-gauge semi-automatic shotgun
The B-80 pairs Browning branding with Beretta 300-series lineage in a gas-operated, semi-automatic platform. It was assembled in Portugal by FN Herstal and carries both the receiver marking "BROWNING B-80" with the Buckmark and the patent legend "PB Italy 3420140."
The 28-inch Special Steel barrel is configured with a ventilated rib and a fixed F (Full) choke, confirmed by the asterisk code on the barrel. It uses a 2 3/4 in chamber and a single front bead sight for a clean, familiar field sight picture.
This field-configuration shotgun has a 3-round capacity with right-side ejection and a right-side bolt handle. The length of pull measures 14.25 in, and the gun is a full-size 20-gauge built for straightforward field use.
The furniture is gloss-finished walnut with cut checkering and a Browning-branded buttplate/pad, matched to a two-tone finish: blued steel barrel and parts with an anodized aluminum-alloy receiver.
Production for the B-80 ran from 1981 to 1988; the PY serial-year code on this gun denotes 1982.
