Browning Maxus

[M0SAD 89]

Hey everyone, i like the look of the Browning Maxus Semi Auto, but does anyone know if it's a magnum shotgun or not? Should i steer clear of Magnum loads etc? Any info welcome, as it appears that a simple google search is not massively revealing on this matter, which leads me to assume that it's possibly not a magnum shotgun...cheers anyway :)

Do you mean it takes 3” shells 

ive a Maxus extreme partridge and it’s a excellent semi

Thanks for the reply David, appreciated....i mean are they proofed for "Magnum" loads, such as GameBore Mammoth Hi-Bird Magnum BB 50 Grams etc, Eley Alphamax in BB or 1's and so on?

A keeper I know uses a maxus with 3 1/2” chamber and it will shoot anything you put in it, it must be magnum proofed because if it wasn’t it would be no good to him

Thanks very much Stavross, i appreciate your reply. I was hoping so, got some Carts i'm thinking of using when out foxing as a "Backdoor" option.

3:1/2 maxus will take any 12 gauge load.

But are all Maxus 31/2". 

Best bet is to take it to pieces and have a look on the barrel to see what it is chambered for and also what proof marks it has.

No they aren’t, that’s why I stated 3:1/2.
