welshwarrior Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 the grain is short through the hand so is always going to be an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Best Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 Being kiln dried for mass production instead of properly seasoned could also be a factor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When is something like that likely to happen. Is it when the gun is put down or if it gets a knock during transportation ? Surly that couldnt be caused by just shooting the gun ?

From your picture it looks as if the grain runs almost entirely the wrong way through the hand. Before the picture I was visualising a more horizontal break.

Smokersmith Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 A high grade Browning would be a D or E grade .... These G5’s are not to be confused with the real better grade ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These G5’s are not to be confused with the real better grade ones. These are high grade Miroku not Brownings. true Brownings are made in Belgium not Miroku Japan. 10 hours ago, London Best said: From your picture it looks as if the grain runs almost entirely the wrong way through the hand.
