Hello;
I had a little "accident" with my Browning BPS Stalker during bird season... While dealing with the dogs, I handed my shotgun to a "friend" and he promptly leaned it against his truck and it took an immediate nose-dive on a stratigically placed rock... The end result is that the vent rib was bent down to the barrel and the best efforts of a local gunsmith has still left the rib with a noticable wave/dip. The gunsmith claims that this is a repair that Browning would have to do. Is there someone I can purchase vent ribbing from? I would like to be able to keep the shotgun and not send it away for repairs. Thanks |

Brownells sells a vent rib. Go to www.brownells.com and use the search engine.

Thanks FAL308, but when I phoned them they said that they only have the vent rib for the auto-5... Bummer! They did say however that they could send it away for repairs and it looks like this may be the only way I can repair it.

Jayson,
If you have to send the barrel away for repairs, you might as well make it worth the effort. Whack that "friend" upside the head with it a few times before it goes. ------------------ "We are going to fight. We are going to be hurt. But in the end, we will stand." --Roland Deschain |
