what is a Browning Ranger Repeting Shotgun
The 2 letters in your serial number(PV) stand for the year 1985.That is the year of production of your Browning shotgun.
It depends on the browning model of shotgun you are asking about,and the condition it is in.
Your prefix to the serial number,which is read as Zero G indicates that you have a Browning auto-5 light weight model shotgun,that was made in the year 1960.The letter G designates that your shotgun is a light weight model.
1991
if you are asking about a browning auto-5 shotgun?The year of production of your browning shotgun is 1928.
You will have to call Browning.
John Browning invented the pump shotgun in the year 1897.
I would like to start first with the serial number.The letters MR in the middle of the serial number indicates that your browning shotgun was made in 2007.With that said,if you have a pump shotgun then you have a browning BPS.If you have a over/under shotgun then you have a browning citori.If you have a semi-auto shotgun then you have a browning gold model.
