Serial 23730RN152 is a Browning BPS made in Japan in 1979, a 12 gauge pump-action field gun with ambidextrous bottom ejection. The 30-inch vent rib barrel has a 3-inch chamber and a fixed full choke. Blued steel, a gold-plated trigger and high-gloss checkered walnut with a 14.25-inch length of pull to the original pad complete it. The stock shows light handling marks and the bluing light wear, but the bore is excellent and condition is very good overall.

The full choke and long barrel were built for reaching out, and a Connecticut wingshooter will find that configuration still does its job. As a 12 gauge it also qualifies under the state's shotgun deer rules with single projectiles, on private land from November 18 to December 8 and on state land where shotguns and muzzleloaders are the only options, though a fixed full choke is not the first choice for slugs. Left-handed shooters will appreciate the bottom eject.
