I picked up a nice little browning 20g a SxS. Its got 28" barrels. Feels really nice, I can't wait to shoot it. Its got a little wear but not bad. My hope is to refurb it this winter. I'd like to refinish the stock and get an deeper satin look, fix some screw heads that are showing work, and put a sims limbsaver pad on it. The two marks shown are the only marks on the stock... Just looking for someone with some experience on this shotgun. Maybe some pics of working guns (show pieces too) Thanks ![[Linked Image]](http://i1363.photobucket.com/albums/r706/jkhoward416/Browning/IMG_0035_zps508db12a.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i1363.photobucket.com/albums/r706/jkhoward416/Browning/IMG_0040_zps29c9fc4a.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i1363.photobucket.com/albums/r706/jkhoward416/Browning/IMG_0036_zpsa31db3b9.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i1363.photobucket.com/albums/r706/jkhoward416/Browning/IMG_0039_zpsd1241dbf.jpg)

Very nice. I dont think that is a factory pad, dont think the 20's came with anything but a plastic butt plate. I have always liked the BSS's.

I will give you $600 for it. That's a 20% profit.

You did good I agree with Magnum Man on the price I would expect on that gun. Plus they are just really nice guns

Nice looking 20 ga side by side. That's what I prefer.
And with a straight grip like yours!

Very nice. I dont think that is a factory pad, dont think the 20's came with anything but a plastic butt plate. I have always liked the BSS's. I think you are correct. I have installed a couple for folks looking to extend LOP. A friend is looking for exactly this sort of light quail gun and I told him he could forget finding a BSS for less than 800...

Sounds like I did alright on it then. I think it'll be a fun one. With the 28"barrels I think it'll wack a rooster too.
Now this one is a made in Korea with Jap parts if that affect value much. That said, fit an finish its excellent.

Yes, Some of the later ones were assembled in Korea. You got one heck of a deal! Hard to find for under $1000! Very nice handling gun, and great shooters. Don't know that I would refinish it though.

You did get a helluva deal! I owned two of them years ago; first one was a very early version without the barrel selector switch, the second had the switch in the trigger-guard. Sorry, no pictures; IMO the best gun in it's price category for the times (I liked them a little better than the Ithaca/SKB guns). Mine were chambered in 20 gauge, both Japanese made/assembled - great shotguns, should have kept one of them!

I don't think being Korean made is any detriment. Fit and finis is outstanding and browning quality control was probably all over it back then. I think it's 80's vintage having trouble dating it.

I think you are absolutely right about that - I looked up the BSS in my latest Blue Book - it doesn't even make mention of Korean assembly - thus no difference in value. The BSS shotguns, in all variations, were made from 1971 - 1988.
