Offered by Peterson Collective is a Browning SA-22 semi-automatic rifle, serial number T44812, manufactured circa 1974–1975 during Browning’s Belgian production era. Produced in collaboration with FN in Belgium, these early SA-22 rifles are widely regarded for their craftsmanship, smooth operation, and finely executed detailing, representing a continuation of John Browning’s original design executed to a high standard of European manufacturing.

This example features a 19.25-inch factory barrel, the standard and most commonly encountered configuration for the SA-22 platform, paired with a factory engraved receiver that reflects Browning’s attention to aesthetic detail even in utilitarian rimfire rifles. The bore remains in excellent condition with strong, well-defined rifling, supporting consistent accuracy and reliable performance.

The rifle retains its original factory finish with red-toned walnut furniture, exhibiting attractive coloration and grain consistent with Browning’s factory stock selection of the period. The overall condition reflects honest use, with visible handling marks present on the stock and metal surfaces. These cosmetic imperfections are consistent with field use and do not detract from the rifle’s functionality or mechanical integrity.

All serial numbers are matching, including the plunger tube, an important detail for collectors of the SA-22 platform as it confirms originality and completeness. Mechanically, the rifle functions flawlessly, cycling reliably as expected of the Browning/FN blowback design, known for its simplicity and dependability.

The Browning SA-22 occupies a unique place in firearms history as one of the longest continuously produced semi-automatic rifle designs, and early Belgian-made examples with factory engraving are increasingly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts alike. This rifle represents a solid and honest example of that lineage, combining classic design, reliable performance, and collectible appeal.
