Need a little help. This shotgun came in, said it wont fire lower barrel.
Spotted the issue right away. No cocking rod on the right side.
Problem Is I can figure out what model it is.
Never seen a setup like this. Numrich has a schem. for a B27 that looks close. But the picture is horrible.

There is no model marked on the barrel. It is made in Belgium. The browning stamp was roll stamped and has a shadow at the end. Not that this helps. I've never seen one with this curly spring to hold it together. Here is a pic of the missing arming rod.

Easy to see why the other was lost. Pulling the stock off kicked the spring loose.

Thanks and,
Happy Easter

Thanks!
I've been checking out the obsolete resources from the browning site.
Parts are getting thinner as time passes.
I could probably make the part from drill rod and the spring wouldn't be rocket science..

Wouldn't mind knowing some folk on the other side of the pond.
I get items in that don't have US sources often enough..
Thanks again!
