Browning shotgun barrels - cont.

hummer126
Identifiers on the two mystery barrels - on one side of the barrel:

BROWNING ARMS COMPANY MORGAN, UTAH & MONTREAL P.Q.
MADE IN BELGIUM - ASSEMBLED IN PORTUGAL

On the other side:

SPECIAL STEEL 12GA. SHELLS_23/4" **_
PATENTS PENDING

There's a series of small numbers/letters/symbols on the barrel extension assemblies, directly in line with the rib. Below that, a (serial?) number - on one it's 98178, on the other it's 051762

I'll keep trying to post the pix.

Thanks!

    portugal is the key to the mystery.

    Bobski is correct like most times . details are very important . the one word Portugal denotes this as a much later shotgun . Browning made shotguns for many years in Belgium then because of cost moved most production to JAPAN then when that got too costly to compete they started assembling the later designed cheaper fire-arms in Portugal. remember your next questions to include ALL DETAILS.

    Thanks very much guys - I really appreciate the help! Are B-80 and B2000 barrels interchangeable? How can I find out which mine are?

    Based on pix in the auctions, it appears to be a B-2000. Thanks bobski & perry shooter - you guys rock!
