I have an early Belgian 22SA rifle project that needs a replacement outer tube and nut. I cannot find a schematic that shows the old style parts nor a source for the part. How does one determine the correct length (11 5/8" vs 13"). My rifle is missing the lower few inches of the tube, nut, washer, etc. Please point me to a source and parts schematic.
Welcome to the Browning Owners Forum Captain1979 !! You can try Numrich Gun Parts for the schematic: http://www.gunpartscorp.com/Manufacturers/Browning-33164.htm
The schematic I need is for the earlier model with the bolt thru the pistol grip. My rifle also has the spring fingers under the magazine tube lock-plate. A Tech support at Brownell's advised me to contact Wisner's (360-748-4590) for the "old style" outer mag tube. Mr Wisner had both lengths and advised the spring finger retaining design required the 11 5/8" length. He did not have a schematic for the old models.
