Title: bought a browning BPS today
Post by: elkontherun on February 21, 2012, 09:52:25 PM: I bought a 12 gauge browning BPS today at four corners in castle rock. It was for sale on consignment the person who had it left it to his son in his estate. It is brand new never been shot still had packing grease in the barrel. I payed 400 for it. Did I get a good deal.

Post by: TwoSixFourWins on February 22, 2012, 02:19:35 PM: That is a good price. I have one in 10 gauge that i bought brand new. I did have a little problem with mine this year with it not firing. I called browning who referred me to a smith who said that it was dirty, i told him i cleaned it thoroughly, he said that i wasn't capable of cleaning it as well as a smith which was kinda rude. I finally took the trigger group out and looked at the seers inside and they looked too rough so i filed one spur down a tiny bit and now it is flawless. I like the gun a lot which is good because misfires cost me a lot of ducks and geese and the gun would have been out in the swamp if i didnt like it to begin with.
