Need help -- BRNO 304 combo
#86278 - 28/09/07 12:16 AM

I just picked up a BRNO model 304 12 ga v 7 x57R combo gun. I have owned many BRNO doubles, but never one in this model. It came taken down. How does one put the bbls back into the receiver????? I cant even tell if the forearm comes off! -- there is no latch on the forearm and it does not appear to want to slide forward off the bbls.

I can just about lever the bbls on, but the extractor cam on the left side catches onto the top of the receiver frame --- help!

I owned one of those many years ago. It shot ok and was rather well made, but I never got used to its non-standard conception. If I remember well, there is a stud between the barrels that also serves as the hinge pin on wich the barrels turn. This stud has to be DEPRESSED, after wich the barrels can be inserted into the receiver.(not without difficulty, you will have to experiment a little to find the right 'angle of entry'). Hope this will be of help.
Greetings,
Livinus

I had a long telephone call last night from a fellow that owns these and a site member and he set me straight on how to do it. The one thing I did not realize was that the breach of the receiver is spring loaded and slides back and forward, so one needs to apply pressure to the brach with the bbls when you are depressing the pivot stud in order to get enough room to mate the parts into the slots made for each of the pivot and the extractor. That was the trick.

Thank you to those who helped.

One word of caution. I found out the hard way that you don't want to have your hand under the receiver when you mate the barrels to the action. The front of the receiver bottom is very sharp and can cut a nice chunk out of the unwary assembler's hand (forefinger, actually). I still have the scar.
