OP Bob Cash Sidelock Joined: Feb 2009 Posts: 1,732 Likes: 215 Left Coast	Found a really neat Browning 425, Mid 90's Grade 5 20 gauge, 30". I really liked the wood and that the barrels weren't ported. Salesman said he found this in the box I hate the thought that someone may have Bubba'd this gun. Any ideas?

They ain’t my bag, but, I’m thinking every Browning O/U I’ve ever handled had an automatic safety. Berettas too, to be honest. Is the factory version of that part that much different than your loose in the box version? Best, Ted

Best, Ted I have four Superposeds here at the moment, and five Mirokus (same as a Citori). Not one of them have automatic safeties.
