Your serial number prefix letters of RN indicate that your Browning 16 gauge shotgun was made in the year 1979.This would indicate that your shotgun was made by Miroku of Japan.All browning shotguns made after 1976 were made by this firm for Browning.All 16 gauge Browning shotguns chambered in 16 gauge were made before 1977.It sounds to me that you could have a shotgun made by Miroku of japan,and possibly have a Earlier Made barrel installed on your shotgun.A standard weight auto-5 shotgun will bring between 325-375 dollars in the condition that you describe,and deduct 30% for the poly choke barrel.
Just the manufacturer.The browning auto-5 shotgun was made by FN of belguim for browning between 1903-1975.After 1975 the browning auto-5 shotgun was made by Miroku of japan for browning,both companys made the same shotgun with the same patent of john m browning.While most in this country feel that the quality of the belguim made guns are far bettter(and there is some truth to this) The japan made firearms are of excellent quality,fit and finish.I know because I have owned both.
It means that your gun was built in 1997 in Japan.

The Browning light weight 12 gauge shotgun was made by FN for browning from 1947-1976.These shotguns were also made by Miroku of Japan from 1976-1998.If you would supply a serial number to your browning shotgun then I would be able to identify the exact year of production.
You may not have a Browning shotgun;all browning 16 gauge shotguns were made in Belgium for browning from 1909-1976.afterword they were made by Mirouku of Japan from 1976 onward.You may have a shotgun that was made with a John M Browning patent,but made by another company.Please provide a more detailed description of your shotgun;and we might be able to identify what you have.
