I wonder if browning are starting to have quality control issues, because a friend who has a new 725 has just shown me his gun where the right-hand ejector has completely ejected itself from the gun. The ejector retaining pin has unscrewed itself allowing the whole thing to shoot out with the cartridge. Looking through the web this seems to be happening to quite a few of these guns https://www.trapshooters.com/threads/browning-725-ejector-retaining-pin-screw-popped-off.846343/ Graham this has happened to my 725 spotter 1 my gun man has the parts in stock as it’s a common occurrence! He recommends always catching your empties as it Guards Against having to buy an ejector arm rather than just a retaining screw ! also my 725 had a replacement foreend ( the trap foreend is thicker ) to the opening post that looks like a contaminated metal pour into cast or failed post machining surface treatment ! As it seems where the barrels sit - do you store you gun built ? Looks a bit like dissimilar metal corrosion possible due to failed treatment? All theory I guess my 725 has had about 15,000 shells through it in my ownership in all weathers and is spotless around that area Agriv8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agriv8 Posted November 15, 2021 Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 It’s a bit rubbish on a premium gun from the makers who pride themselves on the durability of there work lasting generations. it will be interesting to see what they come back with.

I took it to Malmö today for them to send onto the Browning gunsmith so should have a verdict within the next few days which I will post.

Agriv8 Posted November 15, 2021 Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 I am putting money on your going to end up with a replacement. But it’s an interesting one ! Agriv8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
