[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 405736, member: 24284"] Some of the parts are 'hand fit only', even on the newer guns (I'm thinking extractors). Make sure you have a good bronze friction piece, longevity depends on it. Springs are cheap, change 'um out if you think you might need to. Is the recoil spring (the big one that's over the magazine tube) made of round or flat spring stock. If its made of the flat (or square) wire it needs to be changed for use with todays shot shells. Remove the butt stock to find the 'action' spring, it will have wear on the outside from compressing inside its tube. And last but not least, put the [I]steel[/I] friction ring in the proper place for the load you're using. Remember, when the friction rings are in the [I]light or standard [/I]position the gun is designed to shoot the standard load of the day, 1 1/8 oz. of shot over 3 1/4 dram equivalent powder charge. She may not want to cycle with WalMart shells with a new bronze and springs. Browning still has the owners/operators manual on their web site. [/QUOTE]
