....and the barrels on these BSL guns are of chopper lump construction which is unbelievable considering their modest price.

Buzz, you don't want to use "BSL" for the Miroku-made sidelocks. Browning is (or was) marketing a higher dollar sidelock called the BSL, which was finished in Belgium by Lebeau-Courally.

Yes, sorry for the inaccurate statement. The Lebeau-Courally are beautiful sidelocks made for Browning but significantly more money than the Miroku sidelock. I have handled one and they handle beautifully, but for that kind of money, one can have an English sidelock. I wonder if the Browning by Lebeau-Courally will ever have collector appeal?? I have seen many on the market which seem to be a tough sell.

Barrel wall thicness, 20g BSS Sidelock 28" barrels are .038" plus or minus a thousandth on my gun at the thinnest point. Gun wieght is 6-3 and it handles like a dream.

So many guns, so little time!
