That is an extremely generous gift.
The wide Broadway rib is meant to help you point out fast moving clay pigeons, it ought to do just fine on doves.
If it is a trap gun with tight chokes, as most Broadways are, it will bring down as high a bird as any shotgun made.

Like stated - this must be a really good friend!!! Not trying to poo on your deal - but is your friend aware of what this gun is worth? Maybe it is just my 'honesty' / boy scout side - but I would be concerned that they would find out later what the gun is worth and it might cost me a friend. I can always find another gun for sale, but replacing my friends or family - I will not take that chance. Just curious and I will buttout now...
The Pigeon Grade Broadways' are elegant trap guns that have longer barrels than your typical field gun, mine are 32" barrels. Keep in mind the sighting picture using front and center beads for a trap gun means your "bird" will be stacked like a snowman rather than covered like a field gun sight. The price on these can range from $3500-to-$4500 or more. Not the best pics, but cleaning these beauties is like fondling a piece of art work.

Another thing to keep in mind - trap guns are designed to shoot a high POI versus POA. On a dove hunt, if you do not compensate, you may wind up shooting over/above a lot of birds

It looks to beautiful to take into the field. I can see standing on a veranda sipping a gin and tonic in tweeds while the steward releases doves on command; of course with at least two or three exotic ladies milling about.

A trap gun is not as specialized as some here say.
A club member here reported that his 34" BT99 would take a squirrel out of a tall, tall tree.
"Smoker" Smith was an early leading light in Sporting Clays, and he did very well with a trap gun choked Full and Full.

Sad news, Browning has recalled all of the Pigeon Grade Broadway ribbed Superposed shotguns. It seems they all have to be disposed of as toxic waste. You'll be doing you friend a big favor by taking that gun off of his hands. And, now, you'll be liable for the significant haz mat disposal fee.
On the other hand, this is your (and your friend's) lucky day. With my partners, a Barrister and a widowed Christian lady, I've just been certified by the Government of Nigeria as a Browning disposal facility. As a limited time special for forum members, I'll dispose of that nasty old gun and waive the standard disposal fee. Ship it to me and your worries will be over. Just include the following info with the shipment:
