Browning BSS side by side

yes, they have to be fitted - but you might give Briley Mfg a call...

But you better want it done badly .... I'm guessing about $ 4,000 by the time you're done.
 
This question might get more responses on the forum of the Shooting Sportsman magazine. I suspect the cost may be something near purchasing an entire new gun. Good luck.
 
I guess the question we haven't asked - is why do you want additional barrels ?

Briley does excellent work on fitting a gun for screw in chokes, etc ....
 
BigJimP,

Bite your tongue with the mention of getting SxS fitted with choke tubes.

As to the original poster,

You are probly better off buying a whole BSS in the configuration you want. The bonus is two fold first off it will be cheaper and secondly you will have two BSS's. Seems like a win, win to me.
 
I understand your point Perazzi ......

I'm just not a purist when it comes to a SXS .... ( but every production level SXS made out there has way to short a length of pull for me .... too much drop at comb and at heel ... ) ....... a BSS isn't exactly a Purdy or soemthing that you would not want to put screw in chokes in to make it more versatile ( in my opinion )...
 
Good point OneOunce - but he still hasn't said what he wants to do / or why .... and that would help ....

I can't see spending the money for a 2nd set of barrels on a BSS .....
 
Personally, if I had one that was to be used for upland with an occasional round of clays, and it was M/F, I'd open them up to at least IC/M, or even C or SK and a LM or M, unless it was to be used exclusively for close birds like grouse or quail over pointers - then it would be C/IC.

A good barrel person can do the job, and usually for less, than having tubes put in
 
You're right,

I picked up a "gently used" BSS about 8 yrs ago / and it was sent to Briley ( by previous owner ) to have screw in chokes put in - and its a decent gun / but honestly, I've only put about 20 boxes thru it....
