This once fine high grade Browning 12 ga. over/under showed up at my gun club so I borrowed it to take some pictures. The story I got was it spent some time submerged in sea water. Anyone know what actual grade it is? Jim If you look closly at the bottom of the action and the trigger guard you'll just how much of the gun was eaten away due to exposure to salt.  Left side of action:  Right side of action:  This gun of course is a total loss. Jim

It is actually a Grade V; very similar to a Diana.

What is the serial number? Is it for sale. I'll pay Dave his ten bucks if I can make a deal.

It is definitely NOT for sale and the current owner was emphatic about this. I have to return the gun to him tomorrow.

John Roberts, how do we tell a Grade V from a later Diana? Schwing is not 100% clear on that. That is, without knowing the serial number.

Why even bother fixing a POS like that?
You could go out and buy 5 just like it.
Unless it was owned by Madonna or something I would just toss it is the scrap heap.
