2 INTRODUCTION BROWNING a passion Browning: the most sensitive of passions Since 1897, the date of birth of the first Browning gun, millions, even tens of millions, of shotguns and rifles for hunting or target-shooting have created and signed by Browning. The inventor of the semi-automatic shotgun, the semi-automatic rifle and, the most recent innovation, an over-and-under gun with the lowest action frame and fastest firing system on the market has left its mark on the history of gun-making with a profusion of models, all different, but with one thing in common their reliability and their unequalled levels of performance. Every day throughout the world, Browning guns, old and new, continue to give their owners great pleasure. Browning guns have a much deserved reputation for quality and reliability which gives their owners complete confidence in our products. John Moses Browning was dedicated to excellence, quality and reliability and this philosophy continues throughout Browning today and going forward into the future. Browning guns have an unrivalled reputation for quality and reliability, a tradition which Browning continues to build on.

8 TIMELINE J-M Browning SPIRIT OF JOHN MOSES BROWNING John Moses Browning: a life of invention John Moses Browning was born on 23 January 1855 in Ogden, Utah. He was one of the 22 children of Jonathan Browning, who, being a good Mormon, had three wives. Gun making ran in the family of the young John Moses, as his father was a gunsmith who had already been responsible for a number of innovations in the field. As a young boy, he spent his time in his father s workshop, and knew the name of every part of a gun before he could read. From the age of 6, he made fishing accessories from scraps of metal which he hammered into shape on an improvised, child-sized work bench made from a wooden crate. Even his father, a man well known for his patience, found it difficult to conceal his impatience at the incessant stream of questions from the young John Moses which disturbed him in his work... The 19th Century American boyhood of John Moses Browning abounds with anecdotes, all of which share a point in common : they all point, towards him becoming an internationally renowned inventor of genius. Numerous authors compare Browning with Thomas Edison, another self-taught genius of that time. At the age of 23, John Moses lodged his first patent, for the J.M. Browning Single Shot Rifle. The drafting of the text of the patent in the required form caused him more difficulty than the invention itself. This invention consisted of a simplification of the percussion mechanism, making it more durable and reliable. It was at about this time that Browning married Rachel Teresa Child, who would remain his life-long companion. Shortly before his death, his father handed over his business to the young Browning who, in association with his brother Matt, despite having less than one thousand dollars in the bank and no experience of machine-tool operation, transformed the humble store into a small gun making workshop employing seven people. But from the start, the remoteness of their location. A lack of a ready supply of customers, and the lack of capital meant that the business struggled to survive until, that is, luck intervened to make the inventor known. A representative of the Winchester company having chanced upon a gun made by the Browning brothers in another state and, considering its design to be of interest, bought it from its owner and sent it to his superiors in the company s head office. So impressed were they that the managing director of Winchester himself set out straight away on a six day journey to what, at that time, was still the wild West, to meet the Browning brothers. Despite his astonishment at finding two young men in their twenties in a rustic workshop, he was perceptive enough to not be fooled by appearances and conclude commercial deals with them which would last for several decades. Over the years, Browning granted licenses to several manufacturers for dozens of inventions and firearms developed by him. It is no exaggeration to say that he invented almost everything in the field of firearms. What is more, it should be noted that the vast majority of his technological innovations have not been able to be bettered or replaced since the beginning of this century, a clear demonstration of the level of perfection achieved. In 1897, it was another manager with flair, this time from the Fabrique Nationale (National Weapons Factory) at Herstal in Belgium, who noticed a 7.65 Browning pistol incorporating a novel locking mechanism. The FN obtained the manufacturing licence, and thus began an uninterrupted period of collaboration between the inventor from the Great Salt Lake and the factory on the banks of the river Meuse. Browning reached the peak of his art with the Auto-5 semi-automatic shotgun, which was a considerable commercial success and prompted his first visit to the Herstal works. But his world-wide acclaim is without doubt due to the 9 mm Hi-Power semi-automatic pistol, of which over 10 million have been made and which, since 1907, has been adopted by the majority of the world s police forces and armies. Browning has indeed become the generic name for this type of gun. None of Browning s success is due to chance : like all of the American pioneers he turned luck to his advantage only through an enormous amount of hard work. His strength of character and the steadfastness of his principles were out of the ordinary. Thus it was that, towards the end of his life, when offered an honorary title by a university, he refused it for the simple reason that he had made it a rule never to accept anything that he had not gained as a result of his own work. He died of a heart attack as he worked in his office at Herstal, during the course of his 61st visit to Belgium in His final words, as he lay dying in the arms of his son, Val, were : Son, I wouldn t be surprised if I were dying... Work stopped and the workers paid homage to the man who had entrusted their company with the task of turning so many of his inventions into reality. His body was repatriated to the United States, where he was buried with full military honours. His son Val continued his collaboration with the Belgian factory without interruption. A collaboration that continues to this very day. 8

9 B525 history THE WORTHY HEIR TO In 1925, John Moses Browning put the finishing touches to an overand-under shotgun that was to change the history of hunting shotguns. Once his prototype was finished, our man purely and simply called it the B 25 for Browning years later, the B 525 is the latest evolution, the ultimate development to this legendary gun. It is, at the same time, the heir to the original model and its most modern, most highly perfected version, which has benefited from all the technological progress made on Browning hunting and target-shooting arms throughout the 20th century and since the beginning of the 21st century. The B 525 was created in 2003 and it is the fifth generation of Browning over-and-under guns. The previous models, which have all made their contribution to its creation, are the B 125, which appeared in 1985, the B 325 born in 1991, and the B 425 unveiled in In one way or another, all these different versions, all these evolutions, have given birth to the B 525 and enabled it to become one of the most valued and most popular steel action frame fitted over-and-under hunting guns in the world. Numerous improvements, Invector chokes, a massive single-piece binder, a single selective trigger, adjustable to three positions on certain models, etc., the B 525 has remained faithful to the model and the principles created by John Moses Browning, which are just as many guarantees of solidity, reliability and better performance. To the point where the robust forged steel action frame is guaranteed for 10 years, the proof of the confidence we have in this shotgun. The B 525 now forms two families one for target-shooting the other for hunting, 21 models in all, three calibres, four barrel lengths, two types of action frame, steel or alloy and finally dozens of possible combinations to be sure of finding the right gun to accompany you for years and years of successful hunting. 9

10 BROWNING THE BEST THERE IS BROWNING HAS BEEN DEVELOPING HUNTING GUNS THAT ARE AS HARDWEARING AS THEY AS ELEGANT FOR OVER 125 YEARS. OUR GREAT EXPERIENCE HAS ALLOWED US TO CREATE A PERFECT UNION OF TRADITIONAL GUNMAKING SKILLS AND THE LATEST TECHNOLOGIES. MADE BY HUNTERS FOR HUNTERS, BROWNING GUNS ARE MORE THAN EVER A GUARANTEE OF QUALITY AND RELIABILITY. BECAUSE WE ARE WILLING TO LISTEN TO YOUR REQUIREMENTS, YOUR DESIRES AND THE EVOLUTION OF HUNTING WE DRAW ON TRADITION TO CONSTANTLY CREATE NEW PRODUCTS THAT ARE WORTHY OF THE BRAND S PRESTIGIOUS HERITAGE. 1. Quality / reliability The legendary quality of Browning guns results from the care that is taken with every manufacturing stage for example: - Today, a fleet of ultramodern, computer controlled machines assures the highest precision. - A 3-dimensional reading machine guarantees infallible production checking and unrivalled respect for tolerances to provide increased manufacturing precision. - Thanks to PVD technology, metal surfaces are given micro-coverings in a titanium nitrate, chrome nitrate or tungsten carbide air vacuum. The advantage of this technique is that it increases the hardness and long-life of the parts and their resistance to corrosion More modern materials, from the aeronautic and automobile industries state-of-the-art sectors, accompany noble, traditional materials. On our guns, walnut and steel are henceforth associated with aluminium, composite materials and carbon fibre for improved performance and reliability that are in keeping with the brand s outstanding reputation. 2. Innovation / modernity Because a gun should be both attractive and practical we turn to the most advanced creation techniques to constantly push back the frontiers of design but without forgetting that efficiency is most important in the field. Some of the numerous recent inventions are shown below: - The new compact magnum calibres (Winchester Short Magnum, Winchester Super Short Magnum), which are more powerful but generate less recoil than classic magnums, have been developed in association with Winchester, the other great Browning International group brand. The miniature magnums satisfy hunters who desire lighter, more manageable guns perfectly. the entire armoury industry, which has adapted its guns to our cartridges. Browning has chosen to develop new exclusive, specific, patented gun systems to further satisfy these new calibres specific requirements in order to optimise their performance with total operational safety. - The B.O.S.S. system This device integrates a muzzle brake to reduce a rifle s recoil whilst improving its accuracy by harmonising the barrel s vibrations with specific ammunition. (p. 49) - BACK BORE technology This exclusive back-boring process, which many have attempted to imitate, improves the smooth barrels ballistic performanceand reduces recor. (p. 34) The success of this new ammunition has resulted in it being adopted by 10

11 - CYNERGY This stylish, competition gun has revolutionised the target-shooting world, it is the Formula 1 of shotguns. (p. 68) SHORT & LONG TRACK The semi-automatic B.A.R. rifle, which celebrates 40 years of experience, has been joined by a completely new rifle, developed and designed specially for the new WSM (SHORT TRAC) calibres. Fans of conventional calibres can use this new arrival with the LONG TRAC model. (p.48) - FUSION EVOLVE When you are the inventor of the semi-automatic rifle, you have a duty to employ state-of-the-art technology, the FUSION EVOLVE, with a gasoperated mechanism, is perfectly robust and reliable. It incorporates BACK BORE technology. (p. 36) 3. Performance / efficiency Since the beginning of the last century, the Browning brand has become legendary as the source of the greatest innovations in the firearm industry. These innovations saw the light of day thanks to research and development teams based in Europe and the United States (Browning and FN) and using the most modern technologies such as Computer Aided Design (C.A.D.), high frequency cameras at images/second... ; all of this associated with a stringent final quality check which guarantees maximum reliability and performance. Furthermore each product development is the subject of a series of studies per finished element that aims to ensure that the gun has been correctly checked and meets our exacting standards.
