Browning 1895

[Dan Cash]

I could not stand it any longer so out came the screwdrivers and I took the magazine out of the 95. Disassembly is no problem. The tab that limits the townward movement of the lifter and related components is not on the follower but still hits the bottom of the magazine preventing the magazine from holding more than 4 rounds. The tab got chopped like the gator got your granny.

Reassembly was simple but did require a fabricated slave pin. The magazine now holds 5 rounds but there is insufficient clearance to close the bolt on a 5 round magazine, so the blasted thing only effectively holds 4. Other than that, I like the gun

Thanks for the encouragement.
