No, you need to call Browning.
We cant identify the model. Please be more specific on which gun this is
Can you give us the model of the rifle? The letter "n" could not be used to identify the model. More info is needed.
I will first say that your browning sweet sixteen was made in 1949.It was made for browning by fabrique nationale in belguim.There should be scroll writing on the receiver saying sweet sixteen.The chamber is for 2-3/4 in shells.Your shotgun is based on the john m browning auto-5 design.There were 3 different barrel types available from browning.First a plain barrel,then a matte finish on top barrel,and last a vent rib barrel.for a more detailed identification you can probably go to browning,s home page and ask for help from them.
Please identify what kind of gun this is and ask the question again
The term "acier special" is found on many Auto-5 shotguns. It is French for "special steel". The stamp "acier special" found on barrels are for Fabrique Nationale guns, and NOT Browning Arms Co. guns. Fabrique Nationale (FN) was the manufacturer of all Belgian Browning guns. Browning was simply an importer and bought guns with their name on them to sell in the United States. FN was licensed to make and sell some of these models World Wide outside the US. If it says "acier" on the barrel then, you probably have an FN gun. It's possible to have one of these barrels fitted on a genuine Browning gun, but then the receiver would identify the mix & match. FN Auto 5's as a custom, used the term Browning patent on many of their guns along with acier special. These guns never were sold in the US, but somehow made it to the states from overseas. Many guns were brought by returning US servicemen from WWII and so on.
Compare to catalog pictures or other known examples.
I would need to know what model of Browning you are asking about?I could then help you identify the year of manufacture.
Please identify the model and ask again
Just about any competent gunsmith.
The BL22 was made from 1970-2003.I would contact Browning directly and their customer service dept can identify the year of manufacture for you.
The 2 letters in your serial number identify the year of manufacture for your browning cynergy as 2004.
