Browning gold 12ga receiver
« on: May 22, 2005, 02:46:15 PM »
I have been using a browning gold 12 ga and a slug barrel for deer season for the past 5 years.  The gun shoots great with Federals Barns Expander 3/4 oz and 1oz 2 3/4" shells.  1.5 in groups at 100 yards.

One problem though.  The receiver is wearing out at where the brass bottom of shell hits the right side of the opening on the receiver as it ejects.  Is this normal, or this has something to do with the fact that I have been using low weight shells (3/4 and 1oz).  There is no significant issue with ejection.  Only an occasional 3/4 oz shell gets cut in the receiver.  But only 1 in maybe 100 shots.

Has anyone seen this issue with their shotgun and is there a solution for it?

I think all semiauto shotguns with aluminum receivers show some wear marks on the bottom of the ejection port.

I have a Beretta 391 Urica Gold Sporting that  has some of the black anodized finish worn off. Its just the finish there is no measurable wear to receiver. Is this is the same thing you are encountering with your Browning?

Mine showed the same marks.  If mine only jammed 1
out of every 100 times I might still have it.

Some kicked-up burrs, plus blueing is removed.  I guess I just occasionally file the burrs and re-blue.  Thought about sticking a piece of teflon or mylar on the port, but it will probably cause jamming and do more harm than good.
