I had a nice, clean BLR in.358 Win follow me home from the last gun show in Spokane. I know nothing about this particular model of Browning and am looking for some help. It is a 20' bbl'd gun with a steel receiver and was made in Japan. It has a straight 'Texan' style stock and sling swivels. The trigger is not 'golden'. The clip hangs down about 5/8' and is marked on the back with the cal.243,cal 308 and cal.358 in stacked fashion.

No where on this rifle is a Model number. The right side of the bbl says, 'BLR.358 cal only' and that it was made in Japan. Minecraft Map Desafio Dos 4 Pilares Download. It's serial number is in the 304X9RRXX7 area.(with the 'X's replacing numbers on the actual gun.) Can anyone please tell me when it was made and what model it is? What twist rate does it have?

So far I have necked up 10/ea R-P.308 Win brass cases and loaded 23g of 2400 behind an RCBS.35-200 g cast boolit. Private Parts Howard Stern Pdf Merge. Accuracy with a 4X Redfield scope that was mounted on the gun, is about 2' at 50 meters.

Jul 28, 2017. Browning Firearms is one legacy of the great inventor John Browning. John Moses Browning was the most talented and prolific inventor ever to work in the field of firearms design. Browning Firearms was founded in 1880. Throughout most of the companies history, Browning Firearms has focused on.

So..it goes bang, but the trigger is real creepy and the loaded cartridges wanna jump outta the clip as I tried to load them. Is there a special way to load these clips? Can anyone point me to a tutorial that shows how to take this gun apart and put it back together properly. I'm not sure I gots a 'keeper' here!! You have the old style pre-81 BLR. These rifles are sought after in some circles because of the steel receiver. The magazines are worth a pretty penny.

I found two at a yard sale for twenty bucks and sold them online for $150 each. The same clip can be used in all three guns because they are all part of the.308 family. I would not recomend taking these guns apart. I have read some horror stories on the internet about getting the rack and pinion style actions 'timed' correctly. If it is accurate I would say you got a darn fine rifle.

If you don't like it, you shouldn't have any trouble getting rid of it. Best of luck. The alloy receiver guns started being made in the mid '90s and the steel receiver guns got a 'flush' magazine in 1981 (BLR 81). This model BLR is simply called the 'BLR'. As already mentioned, the BLR 81, BLR Lightning and BLR Lightweight models cam later. The Gold trigger came about in around 1978. By the number you supplied, I'd say the rifle was made in 1977.

The BLR is not an easy rifle to disassemble and reassemble properly. It is not recommended to be done at the user level and even some gunsmiths have a problem with it's mechanism. If the timing is not properly set on reassembly, the headspace can then be off and cause problems.

This article contains a lot of good information on the BLR, which is not normally easy to find. I have a BLR in 22-250 and read lots about how it wasn't recommended to pull apart. Just this last weekend though, armed with a simple PDF guide that I bought online, a brass drift and mallet, lots of patience, a set of strong magnifying glasses, a couple of pointy nosed pliers and a few swear words I disassembled the BLR and reassembled it successfully. If you PM me with an email address I can send you the PDF. While I was in there using a dremel tool with fine sandpaper I smoothed some of the sear and hammer surfaces and some other rough faces and have been rewarded with a grit free trigger at 4 and a 1/2 pounds! The solution to the magazine is to slightly bend in the flanges until it only releases one cartridge.

I Will try to find where I read how to do that. DONT DO IT!!! Seriously, dont.

And Im not being a meanie head and LOVE BLR's but if you call the magazine a clip one more time you will win a stuffed troll:-) JK but if you are calling a mag a clip (the two are NOT synonomous) then you do not need to take down a BLR. Again, not being mean, just saying it is incredibly robust but intricate.

You have a great rifle and a borderline magical chambering in said rifle, you do not need to take it down:-) Congrats on a dang near death lazer.
