Mustang Gregg Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 I just swapped into a used BSS 12 from a Pard in NJ. Nice scattergun, but it's too "tight" for SASS. Who is your GO-TO Browning SXS mechanic? Much obliged, Mustang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure most of the well known CAS smith's could work it over. After a couple thousand openings, it should loosen without help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, they won’t “loosen up”.sending it to a competent smith like Ol #4!who specializes in BSS’s is the right thing to do for the gun and the shooter.

We agree about the right thing being to get it looked at by a BSS experienced smith, for immediate results. But I'd have to say that both my and my wife's BSS have loosened up substantially with CAS use over just a couple years. Doesn't EVERY gun (in fact everything mechanical) loosen up with repeated operation and wear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know his Ruger work is top notch and I don't think Widder would let anyone else work on his 97. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup you got it, just leave them stock they will wear in For all other applications the BSS was designed to be hunted with and hard at that. TheY are not a Stoeger or even a SKB for that matter and require more detailed tuning. Ol #4!has done his homework and he’s who I would trust.

I’m at Hell on Wheels this weekend. Shouldn’t you be out here too? Tucker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watab kid Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 depends on what is meant by 'tight' if the action is stiff its fixable but if its choke i agree never too tight , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustang Gregg Posted June 27, 2019 Author Share Posted June 27, 2019 Lonnie at Run N Iron is getting it sent off to him today. He's just a 300 mi ride west of me. He's done my Winchester M-24 SxS work in the past with great results. MG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
