Browning Maxus II Semi-Automatic Shotgun 12 Gauge 3" Chamber 28" Barrel 4 Round Capacity Turkish Walnut Stock Matte Black Finish
Nothing beats a fine Browning shotgun for a day in the field, amking the Maxus II Black Gold an ideal shotgun to add to your collection of fine autoloaders. Featuring Grade III Turkish walnut with an oil finish, a beautifully engraved receiver with gold waterfowl and pheasant engravings, an Inflex II recoil pad, and three Invector-Plus choke tubes, the Maxus II Black Gold stands on its own from other hunting shotguns.
From the day the original Maxus was released, it promised to be the most reliable autoloader available — to say that it has lived up to that expectation is an understatement. The perfectly tuned Power Drive Gas System was designed to function reliability across the ammunition spectrum and reduce felt recoil, making the gun more comfortable to shoot and allowing you to get back on target faster to score a coveted double. Like the original Maxus, the Maxus II also features the Lightning Trigger, which has the fastest lock time of any autoloading shotgun. Comfortable ergonomics, trim dimensions, excellent balance that promotes a smooth swing, and many innovative features contribute to its status as the field, marsh, and range shotgun.

The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for
general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this
particular item.
12 gauge is the most popular and useful shotgun gauges ever made. Suitable for everything from doves to geese. With sporting, military and law enforcement applications. Available in 2 ¾”, 3” and 3 ½”. The magnum lengths are generally preferred for waterfowl and turkey. Most major manufacturers produce guns and ammunition in a very wide septum for 12 gauge. Loads from ¾ oz. to 2 oz. are common with 1 1/8 oz Low base and 1 ¼ oz being the most common loadings. Target loads are normally around 1150 to 1200 FPS with High velocity lead loads tuning up 1350 FPS. Steel waterfowl loads tend to be loaded faster around 1500 FPS to compensate lower density shot. While the 2 ¾” loading is still the most popular ammunition made, nearly all current production guns have 3”or 3 ½” chambers. The shorter ammunition can be safely fired in longer chambers, but not all magnum semiautomatics will function with shorter shotshells.
