Browning® Maxus Semiautomatic Shotgun

This gas-operated autoloader, it has a strong, yet lightweight, aluminum-alloy receiver. Browning’s new recoil-taming Power Drive Gas System has larger exhaust ports to dump gases faster on heavy loads. An all-new patented, enclosed-seal keeps residue out of the action for cleaner operation. The piston has a 20% longer stroke travel for more reliable feeding with light loads. The barrels on these versions sport flat, ventilated ribs and 3-1/2" chambers. They have lengthened forcing cones that are more than 2" longer than other systems. The long, gradual taper minimizes shot deformation and maximizes pattern uniformity, consistency and density. All come with three Invector-Plus™ choke tubes. Weatherproof composite stocks feature close-radius pistol grips, Browning Speed Lock Forearms, textured gripping surfaces and Dura-Touch® Armor Coating, that improves the grip and overall feel of a firearm. The new Inflex Technology recoil pad is the softest on any autoloader. More than a mass of recoil absorbing material, it’s engineered with directional deflection to pull the comb down and away from the face of the shooter with every shot. Lightning Triggers offer a smooth, crisp feel with minimal travel. With locktimes averaging .0052 seconds, the Lighting Trigger is 24% faster than the nearest competing autoloader. Maxus shotguns utilize the Browning-exclusive magazine cut-off, allowing the shooter to retain shells in the magazine and eject a shell from the chamber without cycling a shell from the magazine. The patent-pending Turnkey Magazine Plug is easily removed in seconds using any vehicle key. Combined with the Speed Lock System, the magazine plug can be removed from Maxus shotguns in seconds. Maxus models are available with black or camo stocks and 26" or 28" barrels.
