Notes: This gun is designed primarily for shooting lead slugs, though it can also handle shot. It is not meant to handle exotic loads such as flares, flamers, or batons, and using exotic loads in the A-Bolt Stalker will lead to excessive barrel wear. It is basically a shotgun version of Browning’s A-Bolt rifle, and has rifled sights and if the owner desires, a rifled barrel. The A-Bolt Stalker comes with rifle-style sights and is drilled and tapped for a scope.

Notes: This shotgun is the second over-and-under Browning shotgun produced by FN. It was introduced in 1926, named the Superpose, and later the B-25. Until 1940, the B-255 was made only for 12 gauge 2.75" shells, but was later made for 20, 28, and .410 gauges. They vary in grades from basic guns to very fancy "Midas" grade guns, but all are the same for game purposes. The B-25 has a box lock and a single trigger. The sliding safety catch on the neck of the stock doubles as a barrel selector. This was once an "off the rack" gun, but has been available only through the Browning Custom Shop since 2000.

Notes: This gun was designed in 1972 as a simpler, less expensive alternative to the B-25. (The true, real-world cost of the B-25 is very high, beyond the reach of many shooters.) This weapon was introduced with the name of "Liege," and made only for 12 gauge 2.75-inch shells. The Liege uses a box lock and has a single trigger, with no provision for barrel selection. In 1978, the production of the Liege switched over to the new B-26 model (known as the B-27 in the US, for reasons unknown). The B-26 was split into two other versions in 1979 – the B-26 Mk I (the trap and skeet version) and the B-26 Mk II Chasse (for hunting). These two guns have 3-inch chambers, with the Mk I using a 30-inch barrel and the Mk II using a 28-inch barrel. They have ventilated sighting ribs on top of the barrels, with clip-on wider ribs for use if desired. There are also several subtypes of these two guns: Mk II Chasse Luxe, Mk II Skeet, Mk II Trap, and several luxury versions, but the only one of note for game purposes is the B-26 Mk II Super Skeet. This version has an anatomical pistol grip stock, an adjustable butt plate with a rubber recoil pad and a shoulder rest; its barrel is 28 inches long. Production of the B-26 series stopped in 1980.

Notes: This is a fairly simple semiautomatic shotgun sold between 1980 and 1988. For rather complicated patent reasons, the parts for the B-80 were made by Beretta of Italy, then assembled at a Browning facility in Portugal. The B-80 can fire 12 gauge 2.75-inch or 3-inch shells, and there is also a version designed for 20 gauge 3-inch shells. The B-80 is gas-operated, with the gas cylinder surrounding the tubular magazine. There is a button to interrupt the tubular magazine feed, allowing the shooter to manually load the weapon if desired. The B-80 was offered only with fixed chokes, but they were to the user’s order. The barrels varied in length, but depended on the chambering.

Notes: This descendant of the B-25 was introduced in 1984. Originally, the B-125 was to replace the B-25, but customers objected strenuously to the B-25 being taken off the market, and the two designs were sold concurrently. The parts for the B-125 were produced by Miroku of Japan, but the assembly and finishing was done in Belgium at the Browning Custom Shop. The tolerances on the gun are fantastic, in most cases just a half a micron. The stock and fore-end are of fine French walnut. The gun has a selective single trigger and automatic selective ejectors. The original B-125s were produced to fire 12 gauge 2.75-inch shells, and there were several versions. The Special Chasse is a hunting gun with 27.625-inch barrels and a ventilated barrel rib. The Parcour de Chasse (Sporting Clays) has a 28-inch barrel is a bit heavier, and has a wider barrel rib. In 1988, other versions were added to the line. Special Chasse Europe has a 26 or 28-inch barrel with a wide barrel rib. The Superlight is made to fire 20 Gauge 2.75-inch shells, has a 26-inch barrel, and is of course much lighter than other B-125s. The Sporting Europe has 28-inch barrels, but is otherwise similar to the Special Chasse. The Trap F1 has full 30-inch barrels. All of these guns are equipped interchangeable Invector chokes except the Trap F1 (which uses a fixed 3/4 Choke). By 2000, the entire line was dropped except for the Trap F1; it too was dropped in 2001.

Notes: This semiautomatic shotgun was introduced in 1974, with parts made in Belgium and assembled and finished in Portugal. The B-2000 is a gas operated weapon, with the gas mechanism inside the tubular magazine, and the rest of the operating mechanism in the receiver. The design of the B-2000 is such that it can fire virtually any sort of cartridge. There were several versions of the B-2000. The Chasse has a 2.75-inch chamber and a wide variety of barrel lengths; the choke is chosen by the buyer, but is fixed. There were also Chasse guns with 30 or 32-inch barrels, 3-inch chambers, and fixed Full Chokes. A 20 gauge version was also made; this gun was available with only two barrel lengths for shot, with the option of a shorter slug barrel. There were also Skeet and Trap versions; these differ only in minor details from the models above and are identical for game purposes. The B-2000 was replaced by the B-80 in 1980.

Notes: This is a double-barreled shotgun that has its origins in the BSS (Browning Side-by-Side). The original BSS had no side locks, making the mechanism a bit less hardy and stable; in 1983, a version known as the BSS-Sidelock was built (also with parts made in South Korea) was introduced, and sold until 1988. This shotgun was designed for 12 gauge and 20 Gauge 2.75" shells, and has an English-style straight stock. The side lock made the gun more stable and also made the trigger action better. Production stopped in 1988, but the gun was introduced in 1992 as the BSL (Browning Side Lock). The parts for this gun were made by Miroku in Japan and assembled and finished by FN in Belgium. (Some parts were also made by FN themselves.) The side lock plates are decorated with exquisite engravings, usually of animals or abstract designs. The BSL has an automatic safety that operates when the gun is breeched, as well as a manual safety. The BSL has twin triggers (the BSS-Sidelock has only one). The BSL line was given several grades of decoration in 1995, ranging from the basic B1 to the highly decorated D2. Since 1999, the BSL has been produced only by the firm of Lebeau Courally, and sold through the Browning Custom Shop. These new guns are made with both 2.75" and 3" chambers. The BSL was never sold by Browning in the US; it was believed that American would never spring for the price of one of these guns (the true, real world price of a BSL is astronomical).

Notes: Sold as the BSS (Browning Side-by-Side) in North America and the Anson in Europe, this shotgun is a double-barreled shotgun was actually had its parts manufactured in South Korea by Daewoo, then assembled by FN in Belgium. The BSS has a stock with a pistol grip; the Anson has a straight English-style stock. Both are made from French walnut. The barrels are formed as a demi-bloc (joined together into a single piece) with hard silver solder. They are made from strong chrome-molybdenum steel. A low barrel rib is also joined to the demi-bloc in the same way. The BSS and Anson have selective automatic ejectors; they will eject spent shells, but not unfired ones. The guns have an automatic safety when the weapon is breeched, as well as a manual safety. They have twin triggers. When first marketed, the BSS and Anson were made only for 12 gauge 2.75" shells and 20 gauge 3" shells, with fixed chokes of the customer’s choice. In 1976, the 30" barrel was added, but this came only in a Full Choke version. The BSS and Anson Sporters appeared in 1977; these have single triggers with a barrel selector. Between 1983 and 1988, these guns were manufactured with side locks and 26 or 28-inch barrels. These guns were first made in 1971, but production stopped in 1988; the Anson (but not the BSS) was re-introduced in 1995. This new version of the Anson is made from parts manufactured by Miroku in Japan and older parts in storage at FN; they are assembled by FN in Belgium. This new Anson has 28.375-inch barrels, adjustable twin triggers, and comes in 12, 16, and 20 gauge. The Anson’s production finally stopped in 2002.

Twilight 2000 Notes: The new version of the Anson continued production for civilians in Japan until many years after the Twilight War.

Notes: This gun is designed primarily for trap shooting at clays, but there is no reason why the targets can’t be human or animal, either. Because of the intended purpose of trap shooting, it has very long barrels and an adjustable trigger, as well as a sighting rib and adjustable comb. The BT-100 can fire virtually any sort of conventional 12 Gauge ammunition.
