Building a rifle on a Browning BSS
      #15100 - 23/05/04 03:48 AM

I have had a Browning BSS in 20 Ga. for around 20 years and it is my "go to" gun for grouse and other upland birds. Lately I have been getting a real bad itch to have a set of rifle barrels made for it. Nothing like a .470 or anything, something more like a .30/06R or one of the 9.3's would better fit my desires.

My question is who can do this work and what would be a rough price to have a set of barrels made? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Contact J.J. Perodeau at www.champlinarms.com
His work is very good.... However I do know that to rebarrel a big bore Nitro Express prices start around $7500.00. You could buy a Chapuis 9,3x74R for a lot less.
I have a Chapuis and it is an excellent rifle.

I have posted before that I have a 30-30 set of rifle barrels for a Browning BSS 20 Ga. The 30-30 is low pressure and works great. These barrels are a complete unit by themselves.I have been told that a good smith can use the 20 Ga. set, cut them off and solder barrels in. Then they must be regulated.
