The firearm features a blued slide and barrel mated to a matte black finished frame, complemented by attractive contoured wood target grips featuring the Browning Buckmark logo and finger grooves. The pistol is highly adaptable for optics, featuring a full-length integrated Picatinny top rail, a hooded target front sight, and a Pro-Target adjustable rear sight. Transcribed markings include Browning Arms Company – Morgan Utah U.S.A. & Montreal P.Q. Canada on the left side of the barrel, and Buck Mark – 22 Long Rifle – Made in U.S.A. on the right. The left side of the frame is clearly stamped with the serial number 655NV35840, which indicates a 1995 production date according to Browning date code references. The lot is accompanied by one 10-round detachable box magazine, a black cleaning rod, the original gray plastic hard case with matching model labels, and the owner’s manual. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The pistol is in very good overall condition with a well-preserved blued finish showing only minor high-edge thinning and light handling marks. The wood target grips are excellent with crisp checkering and minimal impressions. The bore is bright with strong, well-defined rifling. The action appears to function correctly with a crisp trigger pull and smooth slide travel, though the firearm has not been test-fired. The included magazine and original hard case show typical light storage wear.
