Got something from a friend today, Browning B-80 Upland Special

[DirtyLarry79]

Cool gun should have a lot more use left in it.

For sure, it looks like new but has shot a ton of shells in it’s time.

Sweet

Browning puts the wood on. That is gorgeous.

Ain’t that the truth. Here’s my Model 12 Browning 28 gauge. I think they call it “factory wood” as a joke meaning wood that good doesn’t leave the factory.

Now I have a 20 gauge BPS Upland Special with the 22” Invector barrel and looking at OPs beauty I’m a bit confused. I, apparently in error thought the Upland Specials had a straight English style stock not a pistol grip.

My B80 may be a odd duck too, cause I thought uplands were all straight too but thats what I come up with in researching it thats its a upland but who knows since it was the last year they made them in 87. He had two a steel receiver and this alloy receiver. I wanted both but didnt need both.
