What to do with Damaged Browning 92 .44mag

[PatientWolf]

Still looking for barrel

if anyone knows of a take-off barrel in .44 Mag I'd appreciate if you could pass the information on.

Does anyone know if browning has plans to produce the B92 again, making parts available?

As an alternative, I'd be interested in hearing about recommendations on a reasonable supplier of semi custom barrels. If I go that route, I'd probably move to a 21" barrel with a threaded end for future suppressor.

Browning probably doesn't have any plans to sell Miroku made 92s as Brownings because Winchester is currently selling them as Winchesters.

Have you checked Western Gun Parts, Numrich (Gun Parts Corp.), Brownell's, or maybe Jack First?

Browning B92:

Numrich doesn't show the barrel, part # 1, but you can call them for availability.

Here's something to consider: Miroku made Brownings have metric threads, I'll bet good money that Miroku made Winchesters have them too. There is the possibility that a Winnie barrel could be make to fit--headspace, etc. Do some digging, the threads likely are the same. GW

If worst comes to worse, call Miroku, or write them. They're liable to have surplus lying around.
