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.
