Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Browning produced the BSS side-by-side shotgun from 1971 to 1987, beginning with 12-gauges in 1971 and followed by 20-gauges starting in 1972. The BSS was a boxlock side-by-side, though Browning did introduce a sidelock version in 1983. Toward the end of the 1970s Browning added a “sporter” model with a straight, English-style stock. A Grade II model with higher quality wood and enhanced engraving on a grayed receiver was also produced during the short run of the BSS.
The BSS was manufactured in Japan by Miroku through 1977. After 1977, the shotguns were assembled in Korea with parts made in Japan. The BSS was something of a hybrid in terms of manufacturing. While it was produced and assembled via more modern production methods, the engraving on the receiver and the fitting of the action was still done by hand.
Early models came standard with ejectors and an automatic safety that engaged when the shotgun was broken open after being fired.
A single, selective trigger evolved around 1977 and the trigger color shifted to a gold hue rather than the earlier versions with a silver colored trigger.
