Brownings Berettas and the good guns

Actually ...all guns need occassional work. Never broke a firing pin on any gun...I have replaced quite a few on others guns. On my various Krieghoffs...since 1985 I have had a trigger spring on one gun break(in the middle of the 28 ga at the World Championships.. Fixed in 5 mins by the Krieghoff people) and the present gun I have had an axle break last year at a shoot. Got it working (somehow) and eventually had it replaced 5 months later.. and at the last service the Krieghoff smith said I should replace the cocking rods in another year or two. As to Brownings..I have a friend who shoots a Special Sporting at everything. In fact he has 2 of the same guns. He finally broke down last year and sent the 1st gun back to Browning and had it gone over and tightened up. But he told me he had shot over 90,000 shells in it himself....and he was the 2nd owner. Another friend has a 682 and he has shot in excess of 1/4 million rounds through it. Had it redone at 180,000 shells and it is still going strong..other than a coupel broken springs. The Krieghoff I am shooting now has had in excess of 160,000 shells through it since I have owned it...and I am the second owner. .

Have been thinking of buying a KS-5..or a K-80 Combo with an unsingle bbl just to waste shellls on trap with.. How do you like yours 6.5s?? If not one of them I have my eye on a (gag) Browning BT-99 (gag). But it is CHEAP!!
