Roman Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Hi Guys, Does anyone know how easy it is to get hold of the Carbon Fibre version of the Maxus shown on the Browning US website? I've never seen it advertised over here in the UK. How easy is it to import directly from the US? Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuncanH Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 A carbon maxus sporter is going to be launched at the IWA show. I'm assuming its already out in america so this must be the European launch. http://www.youtube.com/user/FieldandRuralLife#p/u/13/Obc3DTfcL5I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know what the exact cost would be, but I have been told its not cheap, and it takes time. The gun would also need to be proofed and have the mag tube blocked up if you do not hold an FAC. As you are probably already aware, the stock and forend are not made of carbon fiber, its just a finnish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roman Posted March 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Thanks guys - good answers! Looks like they may be over here before too long. I guess I can wait! Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Posted March 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 By the way, in answer to the questions posted from others along the way; yes I realise that it's not actually made of Carbon Fibre, just a coating; and the reason that I want one is that I had a hold of one in a gun shop in the US last October and was blown away (not literally!) by the look and feel. Cheers Guys, Roman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gixer1 Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 So are these comparable to beretta ulrika/extreme/xplor or are the berettas a better gun? I have an fac auto to buy and was thinking the beretta was the way to go but these brownings do look nice. Regards, Gixer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Elvis Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 Im biased i like brownings, had 2 browning silvers and am currently using a gold hunter, all very reliable!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrispti Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 I like mine,and cannot fault it, but Im a Beretta fan deep down :yp: When the funds allow, I may well revert to an Xtrema 2, a better gun in my opinion :yp: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Posted July 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 After handling the new Maxus at the CLA Game fair last weekend I think I'll be buying one when they're out. A great looking gun. Though the Browning Rep I spoke to admitted that he was a bit worried that the finish might rub off after a while. When I asked him what Browning would do about it if it did he replied that they would just replace the gun - can't argue with that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Gixer i had an issue with my maxus a spring broke in the fore end and damaged the reciever, browning have replaced it. they are all a lottery my local gunsmith reckons he gets lots of berettas in for all sorts of problems you just have to be lucky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
