Thread: Gunsmith recommendation for lever model 92s

It is a reasonably complex system to disassemble and reassemble correctly. Most competent older gunsmiths are familiar with the action and it is not a difficult problem to correct. The Browning 92's are well made and I suspect the loose screws could be the problem.

Thanks, I bought this one because it is almost impossible to find a bad word about the B92s. The fit and finish is very good and clearly has not been dragged around the bush as a pig gun. I also doubt there is much wrong with it, but at the moment it is pretty much a single shot.
