It features the Invector-Plus choke system with two Skeet tubes, 3-inch chambers, and a ventilated top rib. The serial format indicates 2003 production, and the shotgun retains tight barrel fit with timed ejectors and a single-selective trigger.

What’s Included

  • Browning Citori 12-gauge over/under shotgun
  • Invector-Plus choke tubes: SK x2 (installed)

Made by Miroku in Japan, this Citori carries the Browning Arms Company Morgan, Utah/Made in Japan markings and proof/inspection marks on the monoblock. The receiver wears a case-colored finish with factory floral scroll engraving, pairing traditional styling with a durable, attractive presentation.

The 28-inch steel barrels have a ventilated top rib and a single front bead. Chambers are cut for both 2 3/4-inch and 3-inch shells. The barrel inscription reads "Citori Special Steel 12 GA 2 3/4 and 3 in." The gun uses Browning’s Invector-Plus choke system and comes fitted with two Skeet chokes (SK x2).

Controls and function are set up for practical field or clays work: a single-selective, gold-colored trigger; tang-mounted safety with barrel selector; and timed ejectors. The action fits up tightly, and there is good life left in the locking lug. Capacity is two rounds.

The walnut stock features a pistol grip with checkering, a rounded field-style forend, and a Browning-branded ventilated recoil pad. The stock has a neutral grip profile with slight right-hand cast-off for natural shouldering, and the length of pull measures 14.25 inches.

Additional production details include matching assembly numbers on the forend iron and a serial format indicating 2003 manufacture with Citori family code 131.
