I own one since 1979(it was a gift from my father).Very strong locking system (adjustment with lamp blacking).Adjustable electors (patent) adjustable fore end (patent). Demi bloc special steel barrels chokes 7.5 cm !!! Your shotgun is a Liege (1972/75) mine is a B26 (1976/1980) After they called them B27 and B127 (some differences)..The Liege and the B26 were made in the FN factory in Liege .The B27 was made in the FN factory in Portugal ( same as the B80).They are very strong guns (100000 rounds without problem!!!!!! They were costing too much money to FN (to be build) so they gave the patent to Miroku Japan (Citori).It was not hand made (B25) but hand finished ! The stock of your gun is not a Liege stock but its a B26 trap (Monte Carlo) !! The Liege was only game version the B26 and B27 were ...game skeet sporting and trap !!! They were also some B26 and B27 with silver actions and engraved !!!! Excellent shotguns !!!
Hello Sir and thank you for the really informative video. I own a Browning B26 Liege that has never shot (after almost 50 years it still has the Browning tag at the area of the trigger). it is exactly as the one you demonstrate in the video. I am intending to sell it, can you please suggest me a fair price to place in the ad? Thank you in advance.
Hello sir....I can't believe you just posted this video 6 days ago and I bought one 2 days ago! However, I have a B27 vs. your B26 Liege...although they are extremely similar. May I ask a question....? I see on your video, that the B26 has a curious part in the bottom of the receiver, just in front of the lug which comes out from the bottom of the breechface....it's the part that is sort of squarish with a screw on top of it...What is that??? Is that something to be adjusted which in turn affects how "tight" the barrel llocks up? I looked on the parts list in the direction book that came with my gun and it isn't even a listed part! Do you know anything about what it could be? Many thanks, Mark C.
Mark Chicketano. It aligns with the forend mechanism but will not adjust the breach tightness. Like a lady after giving birth you would need an extra stitch to feel like new. There is a field manual that might give a clue. www.midwestgunworks.com/field_service_manual/browning_superposed_field_service_manual.pdf I will have a look at mine and see if I can figure out the purpose of said screw!
Hello again...I'm still enjoying my B27, but have yet to figure out that part....unfortunately, the Midwest manual is for the Superposed which I also have and which lacks that part. I have to figure that since it has a screw, it must be for some sort of adjustment....for what, however, I do not know. I guess we're in the minority when it comes to owning these sorts of guns since there hasn't been 1 additional comment made by anyone???
The screw does not provide adjustment. It merely secures a block in the bottom of the action. The rear of this block mates with a protrusion below the barrels when the gun is closed, strengthening the lock-up. In the B25/Superposed/Citori this function is performed by the twin protrusions below the barrels that engage the two rectangular holes in the base of the action.
