The Browning BT-99 is a single barrel break action trap shotgun manufactured by Miroku in Kochi, Japan, for Browning. Introduced in 1969, the BT-99 was designed as a purpose built trap gun, offering the simplicity and consistent point of impact of a single barrel platform. The action uses a full width hinge pin and bolt lock system. The BT-99 is equipped with a high ventilated rib that promotes a point of impact above the point of aim as preferred by trap shooters. Early production BT-99 shotguns were manufactured with fixed choke barrels, with full choke being the standard configuration for trap use. The choke constriction is indicated on the barrel by asterisk markings, with a single asterisk denoting full choke. The receiver is blued steel with scroll engraving. The shotgun is fitted with an automatic ejector and a conventional trigger. The stock and forend are gloss finished walnut with cut checkering, with the forend in a beavertail profile that widens progressively toward the muzzle end, providing a broad and stable surface for the support hand.

This example was manufactured in 1972 and is fitted with a 34 inch barrel marked with a single asterisk indicating a fixed full choke and a 2 3/4 inch chamber. The ventilated rib is fitted with a single ivory front bead sight. The length of pull measures 13.5 inches. No original box or accessories included.
