Chathams Guns in Tennessee Colony TX bought all of the B-78 parts when Browning ceased supporting this gun. He sells (or did) sell matching wood in the raw for this rifle if you want that "boo-boo" fixed. I had mine converted over to left handed stock and rechambered in 7STW after one of my dad's hunting buddies dropped the original gun in 7mag from a deer stand and broke the stock - my dad gave it to me. Gary is also the go to place for parts if you need them - they are very hard to find outside of Gary's operation.

Thanks for the heads up! I'll check them out. Over the years I have built up a backstock of all kinds of parts just to cover for wear and tear, etc. It's nice to know a business has taken the initiative to keep these rifles alive. If I can't sell the 7mmMag, that will be my next project gun and I'll rechamber to 7STW. Then I can sell my Winchester 70 in 7STW... Only need one, right?
