NYLON LOCKING DEVICE
A strip of nylon in the threaded portion of the barrel helps keep the
Sweet Spot properly positioned. This locking device keeps the
components tight to the barrel, which is essential to optimum accuracy
(Figure 11). The nylon may become worn with prolonged use and may
require replacement. Replacement nylon locks are available from the
Browning parts department located in Arnold, Missouri.
CARE OF YOUR BOSS
®
-EQUIPPED RIFLE
The BOSS® is a precision instrument. IN ORDER FOR THE BOSS
®
TO
OPERATE EFFECTIVELY, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT YOUR RIFLE REMAINS IN ITS
ORIGINAL PURCHASE CONDITION. IT IS NECESSARY FOR YOUR RIFLE’S BARREL
TO REMAIN FREE-FLOATING AND THE ACTION TO BE PROPERLY BEDDED.
The above statement holds true either for the A-Bolt or BAR. To check
for adequate clearance, it is recommended that a piece of paper, folded
once, be able to pass between the barrel and stock without any
interference. If the barrel is not free-floating, take your rifle to a
competent gunsmith or send it to the Browning service facility in
Arnold, Missouri. Special rubber bedding in the barrel mounting
screw area and magazine well area of your BOSS®-equipped A-Bolt
rifle is installed at the factory and aids greatly in improving accuracy.
(Rubber bedding is not needed for the BAR.) If you have any
modifications made to your stock, make sure the rubber bedding has
not been altered. If the rubber bedding on your rifle has been
modified, send your rifle to the service facility in Arnold, Missouri.
