Picked up an `as new` Browning BSS today and can not figure out how to select which barrel to fire. According to the info I have read, there is a selector at the rear of the trigger guard but I can`t see it. Any help would be gratefully received.!!!!
Bss barrel selector
- Thread starter DIGAF
- Start date
I have the model with the silver trigger so that would bear out what you are saying. I can find no evidence that this gun has ever been fired and am really looking forward to trying it out on clays. Thanks for your help. Tony
Did you get it from one of three that are on the EE right now?
English stock or the Prince of Whales not sure if that is the correct term or not.
Care to share a picture of it?
I see the question has been answered and hope it shoots well for you.

No Rob, it was purchased from a local dealer after a long search for a good one. I can find no evidence that this has ever been fired and it is totally unmarked and came in the original box It has the usual pistol grip stock which I prefer for shooting clays and will see if it suits me in the next two days.!!!

Ah but I owned a 12 ga. BSS with a gold non-selective trigger and a 20 ga. Silver triggered selective. The selector if equipped is indeed at the rear of the triggerguard. If the OP can't find it on his then it just is not so equipped.
My gold triggered non-selective
My silver triggered selective
A silver triggered non-selective
Gold trigger selective
And another silver triggered selective

Tony, if you get bored with your BSS, give me a holler please.
planemaker, thanks for the ident. lesson, have not seen one close up so had no idea what the selector looked like let alone where it located.
