Belgium Browning Safari Style

2016/7/22 9:16:23


Question
I have a Belgium Browning Safari Style bolt action rifle in .270.  The stock was broken in an auto accident and the front sight is damaged.  I've been told that the stock cannot be repaired as good as new, and I'm looking for an original stock to replace it, plus the original front sight. Not having much success, as it turns out.

Ross Seyfried estimated the year of the gun as 1964. I could not find any Browning replacement stocks older than 1968.  Do you have any idea of where I could get original replacements? It's a lovely old gun and I've hunted with it for years.  I'd like to restore it if possible.

Answer
Tarva,

E-bay is a good source from time to time, but you will need to be careful of saltwood stocks. Another source is Western Gun Parts LTD in Canada. They had some original stocks a few years back. Getting a stock from Canada to the U.S. takes an act of Congress. About 8-10 weeks due the fact it is a "gun part". Go figure. Hope this helps.
