Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Browning M-12 Grade V is a highly collectible limited-edition pump-action shotgun that represents one of the most ornate and rare variations of Browning’s reissued Winchester Model 12 lineage, produced through Browning’s partnership with Miroku of Japan in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Unlike standard production M-12 shotguns, the Grade V designation indicates a premium level of fit, finish, and decorative detail, including *extensive engraving and multiple gold-inlaid game scenes on the receiver that elevate the gun well beyond a purely functional field piece. The Grade V examples are finished in selected walnut with checkering at 22 lines per inch and a high-gloss finish, giving the shotgun an elegant, show-quality appearance that complements the richly detailed metalwork. Typically chambered in 20 gauge or 28 gauge with a 26? vent-rib barrel, the Grade V M-12 also retains all of the mechanical excellence of the classic Model 12 pump action — smooth cycling, reliable feeding from a tubular magazine, and a crisp bead front sight — while standing out visually among Browning’s offerings of the era. What truly sets the limited-edition Grade V M-12 apart is its scarcity: the 20-gauge limited production run was just 4,000 units, and the 28-gauge around 5,000 units, making these shotguns much less common than standard M-12s and highly sought after by collectors of fine shotguns. Today, the Browning M-12 Grade V is prized both for its connection to the storied Model 12 heritage and for its combination of mechanical integrity and artistic engraving — a true example of a utility shotgun elevated to limited-edition status through craftsmanship and rarity.
