Gilbert Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Mods - feel free to remove if this is deemed inappropriate, but there's a lot of potentially interested parties that browse here and the funds are needed for my music related business. I may regret it, but I figure guns are like speakers and you can always buy something else down the road. I need to purchase some hardware in order to support a couple of unexpected large orders. '93 Browning Citori Special Sporting Clays Edition Walnut stock, blued, ported, 30" barrel Locks up tight, shoots accurately Includes some misc flush chokes and a pair of extended Midas Gold chokes (SK & LM), hard plastic case. Flaws: misc nicks in the stock and foregrip, none go into the wood. Slight rubbing of the barrel bluing on one side near the ports. Slight dent in the vent rib - looks like an easy fix and does not affect your sight picture. Overall, a very solid shooter that you won't be afraid to take onto the field. Pictures are here: http://www.synapticjunctions.com/shared_files/klipsch/citori_ssce.zip $1500. Local DFW meet-ups are welcome. You can also buy now and pick up in Hope at the April gathering. Both TX and AR allow for private sales of long guns without an FFL. Bill of sale and affirmation of legal purchase requirements will be required in either case. The famed Citori, and yours having the 30" barrels will be excellent for sporting clays. I'd like to add one to my collection, but I'm looking for a Belgium made, thanks. FWIW, anyone else who may have a vintage shotgun, pistol or rifle they want to sell, please PM me. I'm not looking to low ball or anything like that, if you have a weapon that interest me, I'll make you a fair offer, based on the latest edition of the "Shooters Bible" or "Blue Book of Gun Value". Thank you..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaddeus Smith Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 Thanks Gilbert. Even for it's age and use, it's a beautiful gun. Super heavy, but that makes it fun to shoot all day with nary a bruise on your shoulder. I have thoroughly enjoyed it, but it's just a thing and I'd rather have the money for some business equipment vs. getting a loan. This is my dream shooter anyways... http://www.browning.com/products/catalog/firearms/detail.asp?fid=033B&cid=013&tid=531 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaddeus Smith Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 See that's the thing.. it would be like me trading in my Emotiva Stealth DC-1 for something from Auralic. The browning hit's all of the needs for me and beyond that I swiftly approach the point of diminishing returns. I'd just be afraid to take it out of its case.

ZEUS121996 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Since has now become a gun thread, does anyone have a Belgium made, A-5 12 Gauge with a 26 or 28 and a slug barrel? Here in Illinois, slug is how we chase deer and I have had more luck with that gun than any oher TY Mark 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muel Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I'd just be afraid to take it out of its case. I would definitely would not want to spend a lot on fancy metal work and checkering. First scratch would kill me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaddeus Smith Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 How does a Beretta compare to that Browning? chevy vs. ford klipsch vs. B&W android vs. iOS glock vs. springfield it boils down to ergonomics and brand preference, but otherwise very similar guns.

ZEUS121996 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I pheasant hunted in South Dakota with the locals a few years ago. A couple of them had bolt action shotguns. They made me look like I'd never shot before. They didn't miss Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
