browning 92
« on: April 16, 2009, 12:14:40 AM »
I just picked up a browning model 92 in .357 mag. It has a saddle ring and the reciever has some sort of multi coloring on it. It is in great condition. Does anyone know what this gun is worth? I paid 290.00 for it.

You got a good buy on that rifle.  The ones made today with Winchesters name on them go for about three times as much.

And the ones with Browning's name on them for for a minimum of 3 1/2 times as much.

Does anyone know how to remove the bolt assembly out of the browning 92 so I can clean the barrel from the breech? The Marlin is easy but this model 92 Has me scratching my head.

A copy of the manual can be found on Browning's website

The manuals say soemthing about "don't take the rifle apart under any circumstances" or some such nonsense.

The 92 action must be completely dissassembled to remove the bolt. The bolt is the first part in and the last part out. The hammer blocks it into place.

I clean my 92's by placing them upside down in the cleaning cradle with the barrel pointed upwwards at a slight angle. This allows the solvent to drip out the top instead of into the action. I made delrin bushings that fit over the end of the barrel and will keep the rod off of the crown. Clean in the usual manner.

This also applies to 73's 76's 86's 92's and 94's. The 95 is the only Browning design lwinchester ever action that allows easy removal of the bolt for cleaning. I recently acquired a Take Down 86, now that makes cleanign easy.

Usually that is enough for me!
