RE: Browning Gold Hunter Problem
 

I took the whole gun apart every thing came out, bolt, trigger mechanism. I mean everything clean all of it then oiled everything up good, rails everything. I am out the door to go pheasant hunting for two days, I will tell you guys how it works when I get back.

Well, if you have a problem this weekend, I would send back to browning if you have already did everything else. Could be a tad tight chamber. Seen it on a 1187 before but not browning.

i have a gold 3 1/2" hunter i had all sorts of problems with. i found out the receiver was cracked near the action spring tube. i sent it to browning and they would not replace the receiver under warranty. i paid for a new receiver and when i got the gun back i've not had any problem with it. it will shoot and operate with the 7/8 oz gameloads. it hasn't jamed once. the only problem is i can't sell it because i have 1200.00 in a 700.00 dollar shotgun. but as i said it functions great.

Wonder why they wouldn't? I would have thought that would have been covered. Was the crack done by soemthing other than workmanship? Have to be difficult to crack it I would think.

They must suspect owner misuse if they wouldn't cover it. Perhaps if you didn't mishandle it - then the factory did. If so, that's a good reason to thoroughly inspect all new firearms before shooting them.

Did you remove the action parts when new to clean them? Did you notice anything wrong then?

RE: Browning Gold Hunter Problem
 

well my gun worked like a champ, no problems. I am really glad too, cause I got a double. I had 3 birds come up from under my feet shot a first one missed, shot at the second one dropped a leg, shot at him again dropped him. Shot at the last one missed, shot again him he was dead before he hit the ground. I am just glad it didnt fail me then. And I shot five trap loads as fast as I could didnt fail then either. Thanks for the advice I am cleaning it to night, my dad is taking it to south dakota with him next week, and I dont want anything to go wrong with it.

Awesome shooting. Glad your gun is working better now. Nothing like a good cleaning to free everything up. Hopefully it will continue to work for you.
I love my gold 3 1/2. Wouldn't trade it for anything!
