WABS Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Ildeerslayer - AJ probably can give you that info, but he'll probably need the serial number off the gun and some idea as to the condition of the wood finish and bluing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 Re: Belguim Browning Oh, ok. You have a Superposed. The V74 states your gun was made in 1974. The Lightning model was 6 oz lighter than the Standard Weight gun. Hopefully it still has the plastic buttpad and not a rubber recoil pad. That would decrease the value a bit. But as long as the stock was not cut, it can be worth a bit. In fact, the Blue Book says if it has a recoil pad subtract $500. The barrels should have 1969-1975 Morgan, Utah and Montreal, P.Q. The chokes are marked next to the ejectors. * equals Full *_ equals Improved modified ** equals Modified **_ equals Improved cylinder **$ equals Skeet *** equals Cylinder bore Your gun is a FKLT which means it has a flat knob long tang and is post salt wood. Browning had a problem with salt in the wood that would rust the receivers. This was from late 1966 until 1972. Your gun should be ok. The most desirable versions are from 1960-1966, next are the 1970-1976 FKLT, the 1970-1976 RKST (round knob short tang), and finally the 1966-1971 (salt guns). These values are based on the condition. 100% - $3200 (unfired) 98% - $2700 95% - $2200 90% - $1550 80% - $1275 Yep, you have a gem. Take good care of it. Do not shoot steel shot through this gun. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
