BPS, clean the anti-rust compound from the inside of the barrel,

receiver and the action areas. Browning oil is ideal for removing this

compound and for giving your new gun its first lubrication; however,

any quality gun oil may be used. Clean the barrel using a cleaning rod

and patch as explained under “Cleaning and Maintenance Suggestions.”

SERIAL NUMBER

The serial number of your BPS shotgun is found on the right side

of the receiver, at the bottom, near the front — just above the

ejection/loading port.

AMMUNITION

All current 10 gauge BPS models have a 3 1/2" chamber, while the 12,

20 gauge and .410 bore models have a 3" chamber (except the 3 1/2"

12 gauge model) and are designed to shoot and function with all

factory loads: 3" Magnum, 2 3/4" Magnum, 2 3/4" High Velocity loads,

2 3/4" Field and 2 3/4" Target loads. The 3 1/2" gauge is designed to

shoot 3 1/2", 3", and 2 3/4" shells. The 28 gauge BPS is chambered for

2 3/4" loads only. The BPS is especially suited to shooting factory

steel shot loads. Loads of the proper gauge can be intermixed in the

magazine, in any order. The rifled choke tube supplied with the
