I just took a Belgium Browning on a trade..Dont know what model..Its not a Superposed,nor a Citori...What falls in between? It is not marked what model...does say "Belgium" and also says "Chrome" ?!? lightly scroll engraved on blue receiver,single selective trigger,28" fixed chokes..plain walnut...Leige?B27? Help! (Thanks!)

How does the fore end attach? Like a Super or a Citori?

I bet it is a Liege, which has a standard removable fore end.

It is different..the release is under the tip(schabel)..almost invisible...

It could be a B 27, which FN-Browning marketed a few years ago. Is the forend release a shaped button in the forend tip ?

It is a half moon piece of metal(for lack of a better discription at the moment) that is under the snable slightly,which circle the barrel...press it down and the forearm comes off...kinda neat!

That's it. If memory serves, you got yourself a Browning B 27. You should find info on the net by searching "Browning B27".

Thank You!!!

Browning marketed the "Liege" model under both the B-26 (1970's) and B-27 (late 1980's) designations. I own one of the older models which has the conventional forearm release and no schnabel. Yours appears to be one of the late models, some of which had the conventional release and some of which had the schnabel release.

I came across a vendor who had extra barrels for this model at an attractive price a few years ago and purchased a set. The new set has a very slightly different hanger on it to my gun's barrels which will take a small bit of machining to adapt. I've never gotten around to it, but it shouldn't be too difficult.

This model was made by FN and marketed under their name in Europe. When the Superposed guns started getting too expensive for American buyers, Browning began marketing the slightly less expensive Liege to try to hold onto their market shares (the Liege design apparently requires less machining and could be produced at less cost). It was very quickly supplanted by the much less expensive-to-import Japanese Citori, and the rest is history. For some reason (perhaps exchange rates?), Browning imported a few of them again in the mid-1980s as the B-27.

I've enjoyed my Liege for better than 30 years now and although I rarely pick up a 12 gauge any more, it is a nice gun that is a notch above most of the Asian O/Us.

Gee,Now I know! Thanks so much for all the info!
