BEEN INCREASED BEYOND “Back-bored” ensures that there is less friction between the shot and the wall of the barrel. Instead of having to overcome friction, more of the energy generated by the gunpowder gases serves to propel the cartridge, thus increasing the velocity of the load. The shot retains its ballistic quality. The force of the pressure exerted by the barrel wall on the load is reduced, thus reducing the number of deformed pellets fired 2. IMPROVED SHOT PATTERN The ballistic characteristics are improved and you achieve exceptionally uniform shot patterns with many more effective pellets hitting the target. • TESTED AND APPROVED BY THE RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT. • “BACK-BORED TECHNOLOGY” B ROWNING BARRELS ALLOW YOU TO GET THE VERY BEST PERFORMANCE OUT OF THE CARTRIDGE.

THE QUALIFICATION OF NEW PRODUCTS Before they are launched onto the market, Browning guns undergo numerous, very strict Browning internal tests. No product will be validated if it fails to completely fulfil the following requirements: BROWNING ARMS COMPANY QUALITY DEMANDS 1.1 OPERATION AND ENDURANCE TESTS • • • • Minimum of 2 000 shots for rifles Minimum of 5 000 shots for hunting shotguns Minimum of 10 000 shots for sports shotguns Test conditions: the gun is cooled down every 50 shots and cleaned every 500 shots • The full range of cartridges of different makes is used. • No part breakage is tolerated. • Once the test has been completed, none of the parts should be excessively worn.. 1.2 TESTS IN ADVERSE CONDITIONS • The gun should operate at extreme temperatures : from -30°C to +50°C 1.3 “TORTURE TESTS“ All of these torture tests are carried out in extreme conditions that greatly exceed those of the conventional C.I.P. standards. Browning guns’ legendary solidity and reliability are largely due to them passing all of these tests. • Overload tests for all guns • Obstruction tests for rifles • Safety tests : drop tests for all guns 48 BROWNING MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE Browning’s extremely stringent quality checks impose a systematic inspection of each serial gun which is screened during numerous checks and tests. 2.1 GUN CHECKS • Visual inspection of each product : gun + packaging • Systematic measuring of certain points : headspace, chamber dimensions, weight, specific dimensions... 2.2 GUN TESTS • Manual operation tests. • Shooting tests : operation and accuracy. 2.3 ACCURACY TESTS • For rifles: very precise check on bullet grouping. • For shotguns: • P.O.I.

CCS 525 Works adjustment of CCS 525 at 60 m Browning recommends the use of ammunition by Browning and Winchester CCS 525 Browning has been the leading producer of express over and under rifles for decades. With the introduction of the CCS 525 in the 525 range, Browning wanted to provide the demanding hunter with a gun that is attractive, while at the same time guaranteeing flawless operation and unequalled accuracy, and that can be easily adjusted to accept the different types of cartridge available on the market. CCS 525 adjustment système de wedge baguessystem de réglages Browning has reinvented the Express Rifle The barrels, the essential part of this gun, are both traditional and original. A spacer on the upper barrel ensures the accuracy of the vertical convergence of the barrels, while lateral convergence is ensured by the design of the barrel itself, which incorporates a unique “Cradle“ strip. Once the ammunition has been chosen, a spacer ring is recommended and inserted securely under the foresight on the upper barrel, guaranteeing unequalled accuracy. (*). The weight and balance are perfect for current hunting conditions. The action frame has been strengthened by means of high strength stainless steel inserts. Very special attention has been paid to every detail of this gun: a “hog’s back“ stock with a Bavarian cheek piece, an accentuated tulip-shaped forearm for greater elegance, a fluorescent optical fibre foresight and a traditional battue rib allowing a scope to be mounted by a gunsmith in minimum time. The animal engravings with which it is decorated make this a very special and unique rifle. Exclusive barrel convergence adjustment system: Cannot be unset and can be adapted to different types of ammunition. Thanks to this system, the double Express CCS525 rifles are originally set to 60m by the Liège Test Bench and the 2 impacts should be within a 5 cm square. The ammunition used is Winchester Partition 12.96 g and 18.53 g for 8x57JRS and 9.3x74R calibres, for the 30R Blaser, it is Blaser CDP 10.7 g ammunition. If you would like to use different ammunition you should adapt your gun using one of the 7 adjusting rings that are delivered with your gun. System operation: Whatever the diameter of the adjusting ring mounted at the gun’s muzzle, the barrel convergence angle maintains a natural pressure and therefore a permanent contact between the muzzle of the upper barrel and the barrel spacer wedge. As this wedge is itself silver-brazed on the lower barrel, we are certain during firing that the position of the upper barrel’s muzzle in relation to the lower barrel will be constantly maintained. (*) It is essential that this operation is carried out by your gunsmith. 53 53 HUNTING BAR ShortTrac - LongTrac Selling semi-automatic THE BEST SELLING SEMI-AUTOMATIC RIFLE IN THE WORLD.

In spite of severe but often ineffective, competition, the BAR became the leading semi-automatic rifle in Europe. In 2002, in close collaboration with Winchester, Browning developed the WSM (Winchester Short Magnum) calibres, combining the power and the accuracy of classic “magnum“ calibres with a smaller cartridge. 300WM / 30-06 / 270WSM 30-06 / 300WM / 9,3 x 62 / 270 WSM In 2003, Browning launched the ShortTrac, the first semi-automatic rifle on the market to be developed specially for WSM calibres. The smaller dimensions of the WSM cartridges have made it possible to create a lightweight, compact gun that guarantees “Magnum“ performance. The ShortTrac incorporates all the experience of the BAR gained by our Research and Development departments over a period of almost 40 years for your maximum satisfaction. • Bar ShortTrac / Bar LongTrac Elite Topcote • Bar ShortTrac / Bar LongTrac Elite Gaucher 270WSM / 30-06 / 300WM 270WSM / 30-06 / 300WM / 9,3 x 62 • Bar Acier Battue 300WM / 338WM 1.

ESSENTIAL FEATURES • Very high quality finish and assembly. • Exclusive Browning B.O.S.S (Ballistic Optimizing Shooting System) system: Improved accuracy The BOSSTM system allows the rifle to be quickly adjusted to the desired load. Each barrel equipped with the BOSSTM is marked with 10 incremental markings, and a table of average settings is supplied for each calibre. Reduced recoil The BOSSTM system allows the bullet to leave the barrel at the ideal moment, i.e. in the “peak“ or the “valley“ of the vibration wave when the muzzle is virtually motionless. • The Browning gas-operated system is adjustable; it therefore enables you to adapt the gun to the type of ammunition used. This operation must be carried out by your Browning gunsmith. • Welded gas cylinder, perfectly watertight. • Breech damping system, reduces mechanical parts’ wear and stress. • The regulating system’s floating mass ensures regular supply and more reliability. . • An ergonomic magazine catch allowing easy access to the hinged magazine holder and easier loading. 3. GREAT ACCURACY • Locking occurs in the barrel by means of 7 lugs which engage in an extremely rigid way. This gives excellent shooting accuracy and the possibility of firing magnum cartridges. • One piece barrel: better rigidity than bound barrels. • Hammered barrel manufactured by the Fabrique Nationale (National Factory) in Herstal, a guarantee of quality. • The barrel is breeched in the frame which gives great rigidity. • Reversible safety device for lefthanded users. • Height- and side-adjustable stock on Short & LongTrac using 5 inserts. • Innovative design • Recoil sensation much softer than with bolt action rifles. • Drop-down magazine set • For countries where the legislation allows it, a removable drop-down magazine with a 6 shot capacity is available as an accessory. • There are 3 buttplates of different sizes (1.3cm - 2 cm - 2.5cm), which enable you to adjust the length of your gun to suit your build. The original gun is delivered with the 2 cm intermediary butt plate. • This red dot on the receiver acts as a gun-locking indicator for increased reliability. You can also load your gun in silence, safe in the knowledge that it is locked properly. 57 57 BAR ShortTrac - LongTrac HUNTING Selling semi-automatic THE BEST SELLING SEMI-AUTOMATIC RIFLE IN THE WORLD.

The BLR now exists in a Take Down version, i.e. you can dismantle it for easy transport on hunting trips. No tools are required for dismantling, which is a quick, easy operation that in no way modifies the accuracy of your gun. By moving an slide on the front of the receiver and drawing back the breech, the arm is separated into two parts, barrel and foreend on one side, stock and receiver on the other.
