Semi Auto Shotgun. We chat about the condition as she describes it to me. I asked her to look on the barrel and see if the word Belgium appeared she said NO all it had was 'Browning Arms Co. St Louis Mo.' And (BP) in a circle. I had her ask the seller how they identified it as a Belgium and the man said 'cause I told you so' She sat the gun down and walked away!
Which is less than what I would have done. Anyway how do we identify a Belgium Browning in the future if it's not written in the barrel in English. Viewfinder anime download torrent.
