BPS upland special slug barrel?
« on: October 08, 2007, 04:50:44 AM »
I have a 20 guage Browning BPS upland special.  I have looked for a slug barrel for it, and I cannot find one in 20.  The 12 has a barrel for slug.  I take it the Remingtin 20 has a slug barrel.  Suggestions?

Unlike Remington, the Upland BPS uses the same barrel as the regular BPS.
The ring on the Remington barrels is set back on the barrel for the shorter forearm. Browning does not use a shorter forearm.

I believe Browning makes a cantilever barrel for the 20 GA BPS- I think it is fairly pricey though. Check with Browning.

I called Browning.  There is a barrel; however, it will cost what I paid for the gun in the 70s.

Ithaca makes a slug barrel for the BPS.. at least in 12ga.
I paid less than $150 for mine

I have both the regular barrel and the slug barrel for the 12ga BPS.  Also have a loooong rifled choke tube for slugs.  Might be an option if you can't come by a barrel.
