John I did not let Browning know, did not think of that quite frankly. I did let the new owner know, and he was hunting with me when it happened in fact. I don't know what it was, the safe was on and they were very hard to push to fire too, as it would snap over instead of a quiet push. All I know is it was the last shot I fired from that gun and the last Browning I have owned. I tried some OU's when I went that way but none fit me so I had to settle for a foreign job.
