Browning BSS parts or Ginsmith

[Rancho Roy]

I recently bought a used Browning BSS. It was gunsmithed for SASS. Nice gun, but way off face, one hammer spring is cracked and one firing pin is defective.

 

Any recommendation where I can get hammer springs and firing pins and a shotgun gunsmith that might be able to repair the "off Face" issue?

 

Thanks

Hammer springs and firing pins -

 

Browning Parts Center - https://www.browning.com/support/parts-service.html

(even for some obsolete Brownings....)

 

 

Brownell's -

But FP seems out of stock right now

 

 

Any good shotgun smith should be able to fit a new (larger) hinge pin and get the face back against the standing breech.

 

General approach is as shown in this set of instructions:

And turning a new FP should be a piece of cake for a shotgun smith.

 

Of course, Briley, Williams or Midwest Gun Works would be glad to take your money, too.

 

But if you want a nice cowboy-attention-paid job, call Lonnie at Run-N-Iron.

Or, Art's in Missouri (but they're pretty pricy)

Both of my BSS shotguns came from Cowboy Shooter's Supply.  Joe and Martha Brisco will take good care of you, if at all possible.
