OK , I used Bruce Herndons instructions , and got the Bolt in and out of the Action . This version was the Browning 52 Repro . Tried Tin Mans Winchester Site suggestion ....could'nt download it , so called Winchester and got a copy of the full instructions by Mail . Apparently , there are a few differences between the Winchester and Winchester/Browning Rifles . The Instructions are for the Winchester which is supposed to have a Barrel Tension Screw , halfway up the Forend . This Browning does not have this screw . But it does have two small screws thru the Floorplate , just in front of the Trigger . One says "PULL" which to me means Pull Weight . The other has O T printed near it . I'm guessing Overtravel ??? None of this is covered in the Winchester Instructions . So now my Questions : 1 . I backed the Pull Screw all the way out , but only got the Trigger down to about 56 Ounces ......way too much for me ....... (would like maybe 16 oz. ) Are there any write-ups on how to rework this Trigger ? Probably more important : does anyone know a gunsmith who has real life experience in reworking these 52 Repro Triggers ? 2. The O T screw did'nt seem to do much of anything , but the Trigger itself was crisp with very little Creep . How should the O T screw be adjusted ? 3. I want to get the Barreled Action out of the Stock , but it looks like you have to remove two topside screws near the Tang ( besides the bottom screws ) .......never saw this kind of set-up before !
