What “Configuration Type”, “Tang Style”, and “Forearm Bracket” is your Citori?
Locating your serial number
The true complete serial number of the Citori can only be found underneath of the TOP LEVER. All other numbers represent production sequence only and are used by the factory to denote what barrel set is paired with an individual receiver. See figure 1-A to locate the top lever on your firearm.

Reading Your Serial Number
Below use the chart to determine the manufacture year of your Citori.
Historic Information
Serial Number Info
1973-75
In 1969 Browning started using two digits for the date of manufacture which was followed by on of the following codes:
H=12 ga. N=20ga.
Later the code was changed to J=both gauges
This was then followed by the serial number beginning with 00001.
Example: 00001H37 = A 1973 Citori 12 ga. shotgun with a serial number of 00001.
H=12 ga. N=20 ga. Later the code was changed to J=both gauges
1976-1997
In 1975 Browning standardized its serial number identification which it follows to the present day.
Production Sequence Number beginning with 01001 at the start of each year.
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
Serial Number Example:
1000RT153
This would be a Citori manufactured in 1976 with the serial number 01001.
1999
In 1998 Browning redid the standardization of its serial number identifications to work with its new data base program, Oracle.
Serial Number beginning with 01001 at the start of each year.
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
Citori Type: 131=All Citori Shotguns
Serial Number Example:
1000NN131
This would be a Citori Shotgun, manufactured in 1999 with the serial number 01001.
Using the above chart you should now be able to distinguish if your Citori is Pre Type 1, Type 1, Type 2, or Type 3.
Pre Type 1 – Manufactured from 1973 – 1976
Sorry, wood and/or mechanical parts are no longer available for this production era of the Citori.
Type 1 – Manufactured only in 1977
Wood is still available, but in very limited quantities. All mechanical parts are obsolete.
Type 2 – Manufactured from 1978 through 1982
Mechanical parts are still available and are the same as those used in the present manufactured Citori. The wood for this gun is still available, but in very limited quantities.
Type 3 – Manufactured from 1983 – Present
Mechanical parts and wood are still in great supply. “Long Tang” butt stock production has ceased and the supply of these stocks are dwindling rapidly.
525 / 625 – Manufactured from 2002 – 2015
Mechanical parts are still in great supply. The wood for these gun is still available in limited quantities, and the supply of these stocks are dwindling rapidly.
Determining Tang Style
The Citori has been manufactured with 3 “Tang Styles”
Straight Tang
Long Tang
Short Tang
Use figure 1-B to determine the “Tang Style” of your Citori.
Figure 1-B
Determining Receiver Configuration
Use figure 1-C to determine the “Receiver Configuration” of your Citori.

Determining “Forearm Bracket” Type
Two “Forearm Bracket” types have been used in the production of Citori’s.
Short Field/Sporter 2 Hole Bracket
Long Target 3 Hole Bracket
Use Figure 1-D to determine what “Forearm Bracket” your Citori uses. Starting in 1994 and continuing through the present all Citori shotguns have been manufactured with the “Short 2 Hole Bracket”.
