Description:
Collector investment grade 1968 Browning SA-22 Grade III - Belgium made. A complete and thorough description and packing list is shown down below. This SA-22 is a Grade III and "Historically Letter's" this way confirmed by Browning.(see photo images) This is not an "Up-Graded SA-22" or an "after-market up-grade". This Grade III receiver is signed on both left and right-hand sides by "ABEE" - Master Engraver Angelo Bee.(dual signing is not common for Grade III's) The bluing, metal, wood, skip-line checkering and engraving are outstanding. Has rare old style Browning SA-22 Owners Manual with "1968" print date.(see description below) As with any firearm, this SA-22 was test fired at the factory. I do not think many rounds have been through this rifle commercially as it appears as fired a few times. Shipping and Insurance is included in the price(see details below).

GOAL:
Seller's goal is rather not to be the best, but to perform my best. A Buyer's satisfaction is important to me. If Buyer has read all the above, Buyer shall reasonably understand that Seller has taken time and consideration to explain how most transaction processes are to be handled and managed. Seller understands there can be exceptions and those will be treated as such. However, most will agree it is easier for a Buyer and Seller to transact business when the responsibility and accountability are explained at the front-end versus trying to determine somewhere in the middle of a transaction, or after the fact. Seller tries to check emails daily or at least every other day. Please be patient with Seller's reply regarding email questions. Seller thanks you for your patience and understanding in advance. I am human and can make mistakes and can work to resolve mistakes into suitable outcomes. If Buyer has any questions, please ask prior to purchasing. Thank you for looking.
