I had a Belgian side by side start going off when I closed it. Repeatable. Sent it to the gunsmith. Got it back and it did it again. It is in my gun cabinet now. I've got to find another gunsmith. I had hunted with that gun for a few seasons before the problem developed.
Hunted with an acquaintance that had a Browning Superposed with a sling. Sling broke, the gun discharged when it hit the ground.
In both instances no harm was done to man or bird dog. But it is only so because of luck.
And Mike, Browning superposed have an extra notch in the tumblers thats supposed to catch the sear...a sort of interceptor, I guess, if the sear is inadvertently jarred out of bent. Apparently, the extra notch did not do its job when the sling broke. Scary.
