Make: Browning, Mfg. by Miroku

Model: Citori Lightning Color Case Edition

Serial Number: 11913MX131

Year of Manufacture: 2004 (MX date code)

Caliber: 12 Gauge (Two and Three Inch Shells)

Action Type: Over Under Shotgun, with Single Selective Inertial Trigger & Ejectors

Barrel Length: 28” Vent-Rib

Choke: This shotgun is threaded for Browning Invector PLUS 12 Gauge interchangeable chokes. Currently installed with Modified over Improved Cylinder.

Sights / Optics: The front sight has been removed. The top of the rib is finely checkered for the purpose of reducing glare.

Stock Configuration & Condition: The stock and forend are a two-piece checkered walnut furniture set. The stock is a Prince of Wales grip with a fluted straight comb and a brown rubber vented Browning buttpad. The LOP measures approximately 14.25” from the front of the trigger to the back of the buttpad. The stock has a minimal right-handed cast. The drop at comb is 1.5” and the drop at heel is 2.25”. This shotgun weighs 7 lbs. 12 oz. The forend shows scattered lines, compressions, and discoloration from finish loss. The stock shows similar wear with a medium-sized scuff mark on the toe and several semi-large compressions in the left side of the comb. There are no visible cracks. The buttpad shows minor wear and has become semi-rigid. Overall, the furniture is in Fair+ to Good condition.

Type of Finish: Blued Barrels, Case Color Receiver & Gold Toned Trigger

Finish Originality: Original

Bore Condition: The bores are mirror bright with no erosion. The bores show no lines and no plastic fouling. In this writer’s opinion, the bores rate 10/10.

Overall Condition: This shotgun retains about 97% of its visible metal finish. The barrel set shows scattered marks and lines, notably on the right side of the muzzles where scratch marks have gone through the finish. The trigger is missing most of its finish. The lower tang and trigger guard have residue present. As stated above, the front sight is missing, and the take-down lever for the forend does not articulate enough to remove the forend. The chamber faces and breech face have carbon fouling present. The markings are clear and the screw heads are sharp. Overall, this shotgun is in Good condition.

Mechanics: The action functions correctly. The shotgun features a single selective inertial trigger and ejectors. The barrels lock up solidly. The safety does not engage automatically when the action is opened but does function properly when engaged manually. We have not fired this shotgun. As with all used firearms, a thorough cleaning may be necessary to meet your maintenance standards.

Box, Paperwork & Accessories: This shotgun includes the owner’s manual.

Our Assessment: The Browning Citori Lightning Color Case Edition, made in 2004, is a beautifully crafted over/under shotgun that combines the classic Lightning-style stock with a striking color case-hardened receiver. This model features 28-inch barrels threaded for Invector Plus chokes, providing excellent versatility for various shooting disciplines, including upland hunting, sporting clays, and skeet. The Invector Plus system allows for better shot pattern performance and reduced pellet deformation, making it a highly effective choice for 12-gauge shooters.

The color case-hardened receiver sets this edition apart from the standard Citori Lightning, giving it a traditional, elegant appearance reminiscent of vintage double guns. The Lightning-style stock, with its more pronounced wrist and rounded pistol grip, offers a comfortable, fast-handling feel, ideal for instinctive shooting. The quality walnut furniture is finely checkered and finished to Browning’s high standards, providing both aesthetics and grip security.

As a reliable and well-balanced shotgun, the 2004 Citori Lightning Color Case Edition remains a sought-after firearm for those who appreciate a blend of heritage styling and modern performance.
