I hope this is an OK forum for this request.

I recently inherited several guns from a friend, and wish to sell the ones that I think other people might value more than I. One is a B-92 chambered in .357 magnum. The condition is excellent. I'm truly not sure that it's ever been fired (my friend did have a habit of buying guns then putting them in the safe forever). If I'm decoding the serial number correctly, it appears to have been manufactured in 1983. No box or anything; just the...

I have a new Browning BLR in .308 that I want to shoot with open sights. The factory sights are not the best in low light conditions.

In NZ, there are no apparent aftermarket options, e.g. fibre optic sights. Before I go to the extreme hassle of filling in import forms and so on, I would really appreciate some suggestions for proven, high quality, high visibility open sights. Front and rear replacement, front only, whatever.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Where in the "Y" of the rear sight do I aim the red fibre?
The manual has completely different style of sight.
I aimed the red dot of the fibre in the bottom of the "Y" but only got 1 out of 3 on the 8" target.

First time out... click... misfire on the first shot! Misfired 4 out of 7 first time out. I took it back to the shop, they sent it back to Browning. Supposed new firing pin and spring. They said they put a full 20 rounds of Winchester through with no issue.
Yesterday took it out again and put more rounds through it. But 8 misfires out of 25!
Just to add, all but one round (180gr) fired on 2nd or...

The bulk of my collection is pre-64 Winchesters, but some time ago I purchased a mint BLR first year production (K70) in .243. The only thing missing is the correct front sight hood. Anyone have one to sell? They are out of stock at anyplace that ever carried them online.
If anyone has a nice one that they can spare PM or email me at george@georgeamlott.com

I would post pictures, but...

BLR front sight hood]]> 4 Thu, 26 Sep 2024 23:35:45 +0000 https://browningowners.com/forum/index.php?threads/lpvo-on-a-blr.12023/ https://browningowners.com/forum/index.php?threads/lpvo-on-a-blr.12023/ Mike1962 Mike1962 I'm a relatively new gun owner. Just bought myself a really nice BLR Lightweight Tracker in 30-06. I only collected it today, not even fired it yet!!
I'm going to get used to it with Iron sights first, but already thinking down the road.
I'm wondering what experience people have had with an LPVO, say 1-8 SFP? I want to have 1 x as well as magnification.

I just purchased a 93 BLR short action in .308. I love this rifle...I can shoot 1 inch groups at 125 yards with the thing. Amazing quality.

It came with one magazine (used rifle) marked .243/.308. The .308 mag fit very well. I could not find a .308 mag so I purchased a .243 mag as a spare. The .243 is VERY tight but is will seat and cycle ammo. Any modification ideas to loosen this thing up a tad?

basically first 2 rounds would load in perfectly and eject no problemo, the moment the second round was shot and it was time to eject the spent round, the lever got extremely difficult to pull open for the round to eject.

the first 50 round went by easy and it’s just when the gun got hot that this started happening.

I’m thinking the issue is with the magazine but was curious if others experienced similar issues? Thinking of...
