well to give yo some honest info
99.9% of all gun shops do NOT buy from Browning direct, very few do, , most all gun shops BUY from distributors, including when they do custom shop order
so any dealer that tells you Browning is HARD to deal with and or get guns from,, is maybe selling you a load of crap IMO
as odds are they are MAYBE just repeating info given to them from there sales person at the distributor they use most!/
take as you wish here, , I only had a gun shop and sold almost 20,000 guns! so a little experience in selling and ordering all types and brands of firearms
and YEs IMO the REM SP 10 was always easier to find parts , as well as ANY rem product over any browning product, be it rifle shotgun or>??
rem has better inventory , as well as better aftermarket support!
and again, BACK to the main reason your finding it hard to find 10 gauges, is most everyone agree's the SLIGHT gains they have are NOT worth the hassle
NOT bashing, just saying it like it is
if it was such a BIG improvement and worth the CON"
s more would be making and selling them
, but as is
the CON's out weight the pro's on a 10 ga over a 12!
the USED market is where you need to be looking, online sites and shop to shop
as I HIGHLY doubt any used 10 gauge was shot a lot and is likely in GOOD condition, so might be your best way to get one!
