Browning Gold Problem

[skeet]

First off I just have to say it...It's a (gag) Browning (gag). 2ndly Browning has seemed to have a problem with this. What happens is the shell lifter seems to not go up as far as it should. Is the gun new or older? Can't be too old. The shell is so long and heavy at the end it doesn't allow the shell lifter to go high enough. If you can, try to bend the end of the shell lifter up just a bit. Not much...a couple hundredths will probably do it. Don't depend on Browning to fix it...just won't happen any time soon. Fixed a guys 11-87 3 1/2" gun like this too. In lieu of bending...try gluing a piece of smooth hard material on the shell lifter. The stuff they use for counter tops(formica) worked for me on a 3" A-5. Glued it on with contact cement. Chamfer the edges to the front and back. This is just a temporary fix. Shoulda bought one of the other B guns No touble with my SBEII or the Beretta Extrema I had.
