Browning BPS Shotgun History

The production of the BPS Pump shotgun began in 1977. The BPS is still being produced today.

Historic Information Serial Number Info
1977-1997

In 1976 Browning standardized its serial number identification which it followed until 1998.

  1. Serial Number beginning with 01001 at the start of each year.
  2. Date of Manufacture is a two digit code:
    Z=1, Y=2, X=3, W=4, V=5, T=6, R=7, P=8, N=9, M=0
  3. BPS Type:
    192=Hunter Mag. 10ga.
    T92=Stalker Mag. 10 ga.
    102=Hunter Mag. 12 ga. 3 1/2"
    T02=Stalker Mag. 12 ga. 3 1/2"
    152=Hunter 12 ga.
    T52=Stalker 12 ga.
    P52=Pigeion Gr. 12 ga.
    U52=Upland Special 12 ga.
    162=Hunter 20 ga.
    Y62=Youth & Ladies 20 ga.
    B62=Upland 20 ga.
    172=Hunter 28 ga.

Serial Number Example:

01001RR152

This would be a BPS Hunter 12 ga., manufactured in 1977 with the serial number 01001.

1998-Present

In 1998 Browning redid the standardization of its serial number identifications to work with its new data base program, Oracle. This is followed to the present day.

  1. Serial Number beginning with 01001 at the start of each year.
  2. Date of Manufacture is a two digit code:
    Z=1, Y=2, X=3, W=4, V=5, T=6, R=7, P=8, N=9, M=0
  3. BPS Type: 121=Camo, Hunter, Stalker and Game in all gauges

Serial Number Example:

01001NP121

This would be a BPS shotgun, manufactured in 1998 with the serial number 01001.

I'm very happy with the service. Delivery was excellent. However the product was not so good. The ventilated rib was bent, not bad, maybe 0.020 inch. It appears that it was manufactured that way, not bent after installation. This was definitely not to Browning standards. My guess is that the barrel is a second. I opted to grin and bear it . Mel

I wanted a 26" barrel for 'all-around' use with my 12 gauge BPS, mainly for use in fields and meadows chasing pheasants. Balances better than the 28" barrel that came with the shotgun, and saves a little weight, which shifts the balance point rearward for easier carrying and faster handling, still slightly muzzle heavy for a smooth swing. Excellent quality, nice bluing, fit and functions perfectly, no issues.
