Painted Mohawk SASS 77785 Posted June 8, 2018 Posted June 8, 2018 Howdy Would love to own a Browning double ..virtually non existent in Australia..if around very hard to find. Curious to know if all the models can be slicked up for Cowboy or are some better than others.
watab kid Posted June 9, 2018 Posted June 9, 2018 i like brownings but dont know of these - not seen one to my knowledge at a shoot , most are cheaper makes that ive seen , im not the shotgun collector that some are here so you may well get different answers but if i had one - id shoot it and enjoy it ,
Beartrap SASS#57175 Posted June 9, 2018 Posted June 9, 2018 There are 3 basic versions, 2 single trigger mechanically activated and 1 double trigger version. One single trigger is selective and the other is not. Either can be turned into excellent competition guns. The other version is a double trigger sidelock that is rare and more expensive, and generally not used for SASS. The single triggers usually have beavertail forearms with pistol grip sticks and the sidelock has a splinter forearm and often has an Enlish stock. I have all 3 and personally prefer the non selective version with beavertail forearm and pistol grip stock.
Colorado Coffinmaker Posted June 9, 2018 Posted June 9, 2018 I would also suggest you peruse your gun shops for "B. C. Moruku" (spell?) shotguns. Same Same. Moruku makes the double guns for Browning.

Moruku makes the double guns for Browning. Their plant made quality firearms and still do. SKB's BSS Charles Daly to mention just a couple. Now they make the latest Win 73 GW

Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 The main model used for cowboy shooting is the Browning BSS single trigger, non selective. Excellent double, very well built and reliable. Light loads always work because it's a mechanical trigger switch rather than an inertial switch like SKBs. Even dry firing is possible. It's a heavy gun, especially compared to the Ithaca SKB. And yes, another cheaper gun that is VERY similar to the BSS is the Charles Daly 500 or the Miroku 500. Sometimes those might be easier to find. But the Johnny Meadows route is best chance of finding one without wait. And well tuned too! Good luck, GJ
Painted Mohawk SASS 77785 Posted June 10, 2018 Author Posted June 10, 2018 When BSS is mentioned , does that mean 'Browning side by side or single select...or some other meaning ?
Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 BSS means Browning Side by Side - it's a model designation, and the three trigger options all fall within the BSS model. And then for just a few years, Browning also sold a sidelock variant with the BSS model name. http://www.browning.com/support/date-your-firearm/bss-side-by-side-shotgun.html Good luck, GJ
