If you search Shotgunworld, you will see threads talking about Beretta guns popping open too. I doubt that Browning shotguns are the only ones that pop open when a new locking bolt or top lever spring or whatever is needed for the repair of guns that have had heavy use. But, we should thank Stan. That took a lot of work to find and copy and paste all the bad Browning press to support the rubber band cause.
Socialism is almost the worst.

That's only one thread, buzz. No big job at all to find. Took every bit of five minutes. I'd have done so earlier, but it is just against my nature to have to prove myself when I make a statement. I know this is a worldwide forum, and that takes some getting used to for me. Around here, when I say something, people who know me don't ask me to prove it, they accept that I am truthing, because they know me. This here is a whole 'nuther ballgame.
Probably could find some threads about Berettas opening on the shot, I said that I had seen one, but did you happen to notice that the gunsmith was quoted as saying that the Brownings are "notorious to do that"? Feel free to find that quote about Berettas.

I had a SP2 that started popping open after firing. I replaced the top lever spring myself, and Im no gunsmith. Problem solved. The replacement spring was of a thicker gauge than the original FYI.

Great job of copy and paste'n Stan. I believe below you talked like you had personally seen rubber banded Brownings....here you tell it it's as common as a banded boar hawg. I've lost count of the number of non-professional sporting clays shooters that I know, who have shot Brownings' bolting loose in a few short years, to the point that the lever opens on it's own accord after the first shot. Not uncommon to see a young guy with a rubber band stretched around the wrist, and looped around the top lever from both directions. SRH
Now its look'n like you saw it online...I learned a long time ago not to believe everything you read on line. Even thou its so much cOoler to read it online and then dream you were there... I always wondered how a hawg felt when they put that wubber band on his nut sack. Copied and pasted from Shotgunworld:
Read 'em and weep. I read it and I'm not "weeping". Just saying.

Stan has "hit the nail square on the head". One of the many downsides of the Internet is the anomity of some, not all members of any one specific forum- based on a common thread of interest.
I have the same reputation among my many farmer friends in the rural area where I live that Stan enjoys "down in Dixie"-- But conveying that reputation to strangers you will never meet "face to face" vi the Internet-- whole 'nother ball game indeed.

Ed, back to the same "butchered English- Amos 'n Andy dialect again I see" Old habits die hard, Eddie-- You say you pay attention when a customer talks, especially a "paying" one. Tell you what, Fast Eddie- I'll bet you have about as many "paying customers" as Madonna has size 32 A cup sized bras in her closet. Foxy!!

Aaaah yess- Gun Broker- where half of the guns listed for sale have miss-leading info regarding salient details-- "Selective Extractors, Parker 28 gauge Trojan grades w/ejectors, the beat goes on.. I visit Guns International from time to time, just to check the market", as I do Cabela's Gun Library's=-- where the other day I saw listings from a West VA Gun Library for three older pump action Winchesters- 2 Model 61's, and 1 Model 62 in "TAKE-DOWN" versions- Cow cookies--
Ed, I don't give a big rat's behind if you have 16, or 1600, or even 16K "customers" from your BS ads on Gun Broker (or even on Guns and Roses brokerage, LLC)--You are a con man masquerading here as a legit gun dealer, and all your cornpone Southern jive-ass drivel that you seem to enjoy parading on this website when "provoked" by those of us that take gun dealing as a serious business-- When I think, in my wildest dreams, about looking at one of your "Flammenwerfered" double guns listed on Gun Broker, I think about the great line Jack Nicholson uttered in the movie: "Terms of Endearment"== "I'd rather stick needles in my eyes"!!

I've never known Ed to represent himself here as anything but Ed...unlike some gun dealers that try and slide under the radar in the sale section.
Fox the only thing Stan hit square was his own head...
Lucky the hammer was wubber.
