Just got off the phone with Browning. "Rick" said he knows for a fact that the BLR's had plastic or nylon gears in them because he himself had one that needed repairing. Same problem, chipped teeth. He also told me that they have changed the gear because of so many problems. I asked him if they were metal now, and all he could tell me was that the old plastic gears were white, and the new ones are black.
Nativecraft----I read your insulting remarks of your lack of respect for my knowledge of firearms when I came in from work last night. Was too tired to really care at the time. I see that you've since edited it. I feel the same about your "knowledge" of firearms. You've no first hand experience whatsoever, and rely on what others tell you to be fact. One minute you are asking me questions, the next you are telling me "facts". This will be more than apparent to any who read this thread. Go out and shoot, hunt with, buy and sell, a couple of hundred rifles as I have have, then MAYBE you'll have a clue. At this point, you should just shut up and listen and learn. As teaching is not your for'te(that means not your bag).......
