Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Browning produced the BSS side-by-side shotgun between 1971 and 1987. The production began with 12-gauge models in 1971, followed by 20-gauge models in 1972. The BSS was a boxlock side-by-side shotgun, though Browning introduced a sidelock version in 1983. Toward the end of the 1970s, a "sporter" model was added by Browning with a straight, English-style stock. The BSS was manufactured in Japan by Miroku through 1977. After 1977, the shotguns were assembled in Korea using parts made in Japan. The manufacturing of the BSS was a combination of modern production methods and traditional handcrafting. Even though modern methods were used to produce and assemble it, the engraving on the receiver and the action fitting were still done by hand. Early models of the BSS came with ejectors and an automatic safety that engaged when the shotgun was broken open after firing. Later models had a single, selective trigger around 1977, and the trigger color shifted to a gold hue rather than the earlier versions with a silver-colored trigger. This Browning side-by-side shotgun is well-crafted and stunning. It is the Sporter model with a semi-beavertail forend and a straight grip buttstock with a long tang. The 28-inch barrels are chambered for 3" 12 gauge shells, with Full/Modified chokes and ejectors. This shotgun is lightweight, weighing less than 6 1/2 pounds, making it perfect for quick handling.
