Not that I have ever seen or heard of. I had been corresponding with Browning, trying to get them to make a scaled 28 gauge BSS when they discontinued production of all the BSSs. I quickly grabbed a discontinued but NIB Winchester Model 23 as an alternative.

Their newest offering was made for them by Lebeau Courally. Previous offering like Citori were made by B.C. Miroku.

I'd wait in a long line to get one,
but you know they'd of been built on a 20 gauge frame.

Previous offering like Citori were made by B.C. Miroku. If Browning had ordered one, Miroku would have made it however they specified it, the same way the Winchester and Parker Reproductions came about, albeit from Kodensha (sp?) I believe. I lacked the resources and inclination to attempt to do it on my own.

Not sure how things work in the socialist utopia but here in the real world companies often decide what new products to design, source or make on the basis of customer feedback. Nike only made running shoes until the market told them to make basketball and tennis shoes. Browning actually has a long and continuous history of outsourcing their production, initially to FN and then to others. So I don't really get how the subject of who makes what for them is valuable or illuminates your point about the futility of customer feedback.

Back when the Cynergy came out, I was part of a group of outdoor writers who tested the guns, on both targets and pheasants, in SD. Several of us, in our discussions with the Browning people present, suggested that they ought to bring back the BSS. Their response was that all the workers who'd made sxs at Miroku had retired, and that they'd also have to retool.
With SKB now out of business as well, it would appear that new sxs production in Japan has ended.
