Browning Gold Hunter 12-Gauge Shotgun This Browning Gold Hunter semi-automatic shotgun, serial number F51NV17859, is chambered in 12 gauge with 2 ¾- or 3-inch chambers and is designed to accept Invector Plus choke tubes. The Gold Hunter series is one of Browning’s most dependable and versatile autoloaders, well known for its gas-operated system that delivers smooth cycling, reduced recoil, and adaptability across a wide range of loads—from light target shells to heavy field ammunition. The shotgun features a blued 26 inch steel barrel and receiver paired with a finely checkered walnut stock and forearm, offering both durability and classic styling. It retains its original Browning ventilated butt pad, which provides both recoil absorption and period-correct authenticity. The Gold Hunter line is celebrated for its balance, durability, and consistent performance, making it a trusted choice for waterfowlers, upland hunters, and clay target shooters alike. This example remains in very good overall condition, with a strong bore and reliable mechanics. It embodies the quality and innovation long associated with the Browning name and would serve equally well as a functional field gun or as a fine addition to a sporting collection. FFL Status: Modern
