Browning B-92 (Baker)

[NoSlack2327]

Up for grabs is a Browning B-92 chambered in the hard hitting 44 Magnum. The rifle is in beautiful shape, so good I can't bare to field it. It's definitely a rifle you don't come across everyday.
Anyway, enough talking it up, cash price $900. As usual I'm open to trades and I'm like a mud flap, flexible and willing to travel! If you're interested my number is (352) 422-02four9.

Bump. I'll be in Pensacola around 8 AM if anybody wants to inspect it in person.

I don't see one hiding anywhere but I thought I'd ask - does this one have any safeties? Love clean 92s, hate all the safeties that some companies are adding now

Very smooth nice working action's on these , got one yours looks to be in a little nicer better condition then mine . just my 5 cents jj

In production from 1978-1987, and produced in low quantities. No, there's not a safety on it other than what was incorporated in the design by JMB back in 1892.
Bad news: it has a "safe mark" on the barrel, so, it isn't a mint specimen any more. I noticed it while wiping it down tonight.

No longer for sale! Looks like I got hosed and my philosophy is NOT " I got screwed, so you get screwed"! In the sunlight at the right angle you can see what appears to be a yellowish hew on the receiver. I did inspect it when I bought it last July and didn't see that.
Anyway, the gentleman still wanted to trade his Kimber or a Series 80 Colt Commander for it but I declined. I guess I'll have a nice looking shooter?

If you don't mind me asking... What does the yellow hew mean?

 

[NoSlack2327]

You can't see it unless it's in sunlight. Indoor lighting makes it look mint. I think it's oxidation?

Maybe it was in a smokers collection?? Could it be nicotine?

I wiped it down with CLP. I would think it would've came off if it was. Anyway, I can either keep it and have a nice shooter, or take a loss. At this point, I don't care about it anymore. It's a sour taste right now. But, lessons learned and they don't come cheap.
