i bought one here @ maywoodsportsman club off a guy called "smokin joe" in Chicago,- for $750
Depends upon condition, area of the country it's for sale, and what type Citori it is.
1997 You will have to call Browning
Value is too difficult to be accurate without seeing the gun. Condition which includes the amount of original finish and original configuration will determine value. Recommend taking it to a gun shop for appraisal.
YOu will have to call Browning to find out. It was made in 1978
Trying to establish the type/model/ value of the browning
The code after the "pm" is the model type. Are you sure it says 143? Browning doesnt list a model 143 Citori, but they did have a "153". The 153 denotes the Hunting model Grade l with a 3" chamber. According to info I found, 143 indicates a trap with a Monte Carlo stock. I do not know why Browning does not list it.
Aproximately $1200.00 USD
The model is a "Citori 802 ES Sporter" 12 ga. 2 3/4" . It was made in 1981
*The Citori Special Trap has these features: *Checked Stock and Forearm Grip *Oil Finish *Right Hand Palm Swell *1" Trap Recoil Pad *Stock fits "Short Tang" trigger guard Type 3 Citori only. *Browning suggests a price of $307 but it is offered for 25% less,or about $230, by some. *This firearm should have any and all work done and all parts installed by **PROFESSIONAL GUNSMITHS ONLY! *The following is a cut and copy from Browning's Official Site: *CITORI SHOTGUNS - THE PERFECT BLEND OF BEAUTY AND PERFORMANCE *No other shotgun enjoys the reputation of the Browning Citori. The Citori has earned this respect due to a high level of craftsmanship, reliable function, regal looks and sheer performance. Action components are machined to exacting tolerances, heat-treated for greater strength and carefully fitted with the traditional lamp-black-and-file method to ensure the precise fit of critical components prior to being assembled to the action. Wood-to-metal fit is paramount on a gun of this quality and with tight, consistent junctions the Citori doesn't disappoint. It is no wonder Citori owners take great pride in their guns. Take any Citori off the rack and see the fine fit and finish. Open and shut the action. Throw it to a shoulder. Sight down the barrels. Only then will it be fully understood why the Citori has gained a reputation as the finest over and under shotgun available. *Hammer Ejectors: Browning ejectors are fired by a sharp hammer blow. This strike gives more positive ejection than the push imparted on competitors
Need a detailed description of all markings and type of action.
We couldn't find the model 252. There is a Citori model that is 253, however if you could describe what type of action you have such as Over/Under, Automatic, pump - it would help. "PX" stand for made in 1983.
Type your answer here... It was made in 1955...value will depend on condition and if there have been any alterations.
