Thanks Guys!
I got it home today ("as is" I can't return it). So far, I haven't done the rib test yet, but I noticed the selector switch is jammed to the right. I recently saw one for sale in similar condition. Do you know if this is a typical problem? The other thing is I need to find a choke wrench to remove the two that it came with and see about getting a set of chokes. The seller says they're modified and "improved modified." They each have four slots (12, 3,6 and 9 o'clock). I'm looking for a source to determine which aftermarket/Browning chokes will fit. As soon as I get one out, I'll have a running start! The wood looks really good. The gun fits to my shoulder well and seems to function properly. I forgot to check on this blog for a few days. Best, JJ
