Guest Mick.j Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 Perhaps for the safety catch - auto or manual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbird Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 It's to convert the gun into auto safety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldypigeonpopper Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 hello, that is interesting, did not get one with my 525 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morningflight Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 (edited) I have a 525 that came with this auto safety kit, I also have mates with the same gun and kit but for the life of me cannot see were or how this kit fits,I have been asked by mates to fit theirs but failed. I have previously fitted this kit to a 425 game gun which was easy apart from slight adjustment were it was catching but the 525 doesn't look as if it has the hole for the pin or anything ?

panoma1 Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 Perhaps someone knows a link to the fitting of this conversion....I too would be interested! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrowningB525 Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 Perhaps someone knows a link to the fitting of this conversion....I too would be interested! Take it to a gunsmith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortune Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 I've done mine and somewhere I've got a load of pictures that I took. It is fairly easy if you are mech minded but it is a bit obscure as to how it fits. when you see it in place it is fairly obvious. I'll have a look for pics tonight. Romania. !

Exudate Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 Personally, I've always found auto-safeties an unnecessary annoyance, but maybe that's just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
czsnt Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 (edited) Thank you @fortune! It is possible to not have the hol for that pin and to be made. I don't see a empty hole. @BrowningB525: Sometime is hard to go to a gunsmith. For example, I have to send the gun to a Browning dealer.

czsnt Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 After I install it, i will see if it's ok or not. But to be sure, I have to see on work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fortune Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 ame="panoma1" post="3079158" timestamp="1466015470"] The only safety catch a gun should ever need is the guy holding it!

Exudate Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 Unfortunately people are fallible. Simple mechanical parts are generally reliable. All I'm saying is that the safety-catch should be the back-up. The first line should be the handler. Yes, people can make mistakes, but mechanical devices can fail, too. I've always been wary of putting too much faith in the catch, in essence becoming complacent and relying too much upon it. Personally, I'd rather pretend it wasn't there at all, but as I said earlier, that's just my spin on the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortune Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 (edited) I found a few pictures of my 325 that I converted which might be of help to those who have an auto safety linkage and don’t know how it fits. The piece fits vertically in the middle of the hammers. When the gun is opened the bottom slide pushes the piece backwards and it pivots on the bottom plate thus the top of the piece moves backwards and puts the safety on. When the gun is shut the slide bar at the bottom is forward and the safety can push the piece forward.

fortune Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 (edited) On my 325 there is a slot machines into the base for the lever and the lever pivots on a small pin. This can be seen clearly in the first picture if you expand it. Get in touch with the supplier and ask how it is fitted with the small grub screw. That's where it goes anyway.

Morningflight Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 I done this years ago on a 425, yes a slot and hole easy, unfortunately the last 2 525s I tried had no slot or hole although they came with the kit in the box when new ?
