Browning Maxus 2 Composite Black Inv.+

The Browning Maxus 2 Composite Black semi-automatic shotgun sets standards in terms of speed, ease of use, and impact power.
From the super Magnum chamber in caliber 12/89, cartridges in caliber 12/70 or 12/76 can also be fired. The proven systems of the predecessor series, such as the Speedloading and Cut-Off system, have been improved. The semi-automatic Maxus II also scores with a slim receiver, a balanced weight distribution, and optimized swing behavior.

Handling has been improved with enlarged controls and a ramp at the front of the trigger guard for precise loading of cartridges in caliber 12/89. The stable black synthetic stock is equipped with soft Softflex inserts on the pistol grip and forend, as well as the Inflex II™ stock cap technology to minimize recoil and muzzle rise.

Power-Drive Gas System
The semi-automatic shotguns from the Browning Maxus series are gas-operated autoloaders. Two gas ports in the barrel divert the gas generated upon firing and use it for the cycling process. The challenge is to divert enough energy even with light loads, such as 28 g cartridges, so that no feeding malfunctions occur and the cartridges are reliably fed from the magazine into the chamber. Browning has solved this problem with the development of the innovative "Power-Drive Gas System," which fires loads from 28 g to 64 g without malfunctions.

Trigger and Safety
An extra-large, user-friendly push button for securing the Browning Maxus 2 semi-automatic shotgun is located on the trigger guard, directly in front of the trigger. A light push with the trigger finger from right to left is sufficient to disengage the safety. A red outline on the safety button serves as a visual signal, which is only visible when the safety is disengaged. The optimal arrangement and high ease of use of the safety lead to the shooter quickly and intuitively developing a routine for disengaging and engaging the safety of the Maxus 2. The chamber rod and trigger guard, as well as the magazine window, are comfortably large, making the shotgun easy to operate even with gloves. The trigger guard is slightly recessed at the bottom towards the chamber, allowing cartridges in caliber 12/89 to be loaded precisely into the magazine from below.

Barrel
The barrel of the Browning Maxus II Composite Black is manufactured with a length of 71 cm or 76 cm. It is equipped with a 6 mm wide ventilated sight rail. The HIVIZ front sight allows for quick target acquisition even in twilight. The top of the rail is finely guilloched. The barrel and chamber are hard chrome-plated on the inside, providing optimal rust protection. A special highlight is the Back-Bored barrel technology. The shotgun barrel slightly tapers from back to front, resulting in a smoother transition at the choke. This measurably increases shot speed, significantly reduces recoil, and greatly improves coverage. Included are 5 interchangeable Invector-Plus choke inserts that can be changed according to hunting requirements or conditions at the shooting range.

Forend and Magazine
The forend of the Maxus 2 fits comfortably in the hand due to its ergonomic design. Additional soft-touch inserts made of soft rubber enhance grip. With the slim forend, the shooter's hand is very close to the sight line, promising exceptional maneuverability. At the end of the tubular magazine, there is a closure cap that can be easily unscrewed. Under this closure cap is the magazine lock, which prevents loading more than two cartridges into the magazine. By turning this pin a quarter turn with a key or screwdriver, it can be easily removed, allowing the magazine to be loaded with up to 4 shots. If needed, a magazine extension can be mounted, increasing the magazine capacity by 4 or 6 shots.

Cut-Off System
Another big point of the Maxus series is the ingenious Cut-Off system. With a fully loaded shotgun, it is possible to open the shotgun and cycle the cartridge from the chamber without feeding another from the magazine by flipping the "Cut-Off" lever. This magazine lock allows the semi-automatic shotgun to be safely transported with the system open and can be quickly reloaded and ready to fire.

Speedload-Plus™
In small game hunting, every second counts. The Speedload-Plus™ system developed by Browning allows for maximum rapid reloading of the shotgun. With the action open, the cartridge is pushed from below into the magazine and automatically loaded into the chamber. The chamber closes immediately, the shooter is ready to fire, and can react to targets that come into view during reloading. This system and the widened loading window facilitate loading and unloading the shotgun. The action only needs to be pulled back when unloading the chamber; this is not necessary when unloading the magazine.

Buttstock & Inflex II™ Technology
In the design of the buttstock of the Browning Maxus II, maximum shooting comfort was prioritized. The design of the stock with a straight stock back, the soft gel cheek piece, and the Inflex II™ stock cap technology significantly dampen recoil. The construction of the stock cap directs the energy of the recoil downward. The shooter's cheek is protected, and muzzle rise is minimized.

Additionally, stock spacers of different thicknesses can be mounted to extend the stock. Also included are 4 adjustment plates for setting the optimal drop. Optionally, other sizes of Inflex II™ stock caps are available in widths of 12 mm, 20 mm, or 25 mm.
