1976 26" Browning BSS 20 Guage Steel special: walnut stock w/case

22Bolts · Nov 19, 2022

Up for sale is a 76" special model BXS in good condition. Some small scratches on stock, some light chipping in surface of bluing, small pitting on trigger guard, and 2 small scrapes on the barrel. Otherwise in excellent condition and functions perfectly, locks up great. I've been watching these on gunbroker for the last year and the 20s go from anywhere from 1800-2500, and I think mine is about average in terms of wear. Selling a little undervalue to avoid the hastle of gunbroker and to pass this on to a fellow user. Prefernce to those who are going to use it or collect it; not interested in selling a family gun to someone who is going to flip it to make the extra 300$ I'm pricing it under. I have too many shotguns and need to pass this on. Sales conducted at Attero Arms before 8am or 12-1pm M-Th for a 25$ transfer, or mailed to your FFl for cost. I have a 2minute video if you want me to text it two you. Thanks and be safe.

Barrel length, chamber length, overall weight, and fixed or tube chokes… what constriction if fixed? Selective safety? Didn't see it on trigger.
Thanks!

What a beaut! Best of luck with the sale!

I'm a 12g fella or I'd be all over this.

26" Barrell, 2.75-3" shells, weight unknown (whatever is common for size/era which 6.75-7 lbs), and I believe this to be an unaltered selective safety. Feel free to shoot me a message for a walk around video.

fixed choke ie M/F, IC/M, or choke tubes?

22Bolts · Nov 21, 2022

Sorry, forgot to mentioned; fixed choke. No aftermarket smitthing. Not sure which barrel is what exactly as I haven't shot it in a long time. Whatever was standard for this model I presume.

drstrangelove · Nov 22, 2022

If my memory serves correctly, the pistol grip was M/F and the English stock was IC/M. The left barrel would be full on your gun. This is NOT a steel shot safe gun but would make a fine eastern WA/OR pheasant double with lead shot, or with bismuth on non-tox release sites/waterfowl. GLWS.

Bump and will consider trades for the right FAL or acurized M14.

Beautiful gun. I know it's not among what you listed as trade interest but I have a beautiful model 629-1 S&W 44 magnum with a 6" barrel. As an earlier model S&W it has all forged hammer and trigger and doesn't have the weird safety they put on the later models, in short it was built when the company was making the excellent revolvers that made their reputation without cutting corners on cheaper materials and such. My only reason for considering parting with it is I recently acquired a model 29 from the same time period and don't really need 2 6 inch 44 magnum revolvers. It has a pristine pair of factory goncalo alves target grips (which I paid $175 for) as well as the hogue grips it came with and I have a leather bianchi shoulder holster I'll include. It's a beautiful gun and being stainless the more practical of the two but I have always been enamored with my dad's pre-29

. If you're interested in trading I'd be willing to offer the
629-1, both sets of grips, the holster and some cash on my end to even out the deal. Please let me know wether or not you're interested. I'll pm you as well. I look forward to hearing from you, thanks.

By the way I'm not looking to resell. It would look perfect next to my Browning BAR safari grade in 30-06 (my favorite hunting rifle) and I've been wanting a nice double barrel in my collection for some time. It'd be home here.
