njc110381 Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 Now, if only Browning would import the BPS, that would be great! I was going to suggest that one but as you have found, they are like rocking horse poo in the UK! I had a 3" one - bloody lovely shotgun and bottom ejects so no matter which way you swing you only have to look down at your feet to find the ejected shells in the grass!

njc110381 Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 I hate to say it but with a big company like that, doing just one shooter a favour - you've got more chance of winning the jackpot on the lottery. It may be easier to find a dealer willing to grey import one for you. It would be tough to do it yourself as it wouldn't be crimped to three shot and proofed as such. An RFD could take it as a firearm, get it crimped and proofed and then sell it to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you might be right but I tried a couple of dealers and they said 'we'll call you back' but nothing ever came of it. So, maybe I should just try Browning in Belgium?

njc110381 Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 I really don't know to be honest. I considered it when I was looking for one but most things firearm import/export related are complicated to say the least. I don't think they come from Belgium. If I remember correctly from when I ordered a Winchester rifle (made by the same group in Belgium) I was told they didn't have one, so it would have to go from Belgium to Browning US and then to the UK... :blink: Good luck though. You could try doing an internet search for firearm importers. They do exist to do just what you want to do, and may be able to help you?

Chubukos Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 Have had both Mossi 500's and 870's.Great guns. From personal experience I have had a nightmare with a new Remmy 870, and find the Mossie can be agricultural. I have a Browning BSP which are quite rare but are the best pumps IMHO.

four-wheel-drive Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Just a thought but would it be possible to go for a holiday to the America and buy one and post it back home or even get the shop to send it as I think that there are now restrictions on buying shotguns over there probably not that simple but should be.
