Owner's Manual

“Deer Special” Game Gun is specially designed for shooting Foster or
Sabot-type slugs. Browning can assume no responsibility for incidents
which occur through the use of cartridges of nonstandard dimension
or those developing pressures in excess of SAAMI (Sporting Arms and
Ammunition Manufacturer's Institute) established standards.
CAUTION: SOME EARLIER BPS MODELS HAD A 2 3/4" CHAMBER. The
length of the chamber is designated on the right side of the barrel
(toward the chamber). Current models of 12 and 20 gauge will be
stamped 2 3/4" and 3" Field model or 2 3/4" and 3" Game Gun model.
IF THE BARREL IS STAMPED 2 3/4" ONLY, USE 2 3/4" SHELLS ONLY. DO
NOT USE 3 1/2" SHELLS IF THE BARREL IS STAMPED 3" OR 2 3/4" SHELLS
ONLY. DOING SO CAN RESULT IN A BUILD-UP OF DANGEROUSLY HIGH
PRESSURES THAT MAY DAMAGE YOUR GUN AND POSSIBLY CAUSE SERIOUS
INJURY TO YOURSELF OR OTHERS.
OPERATION OF THE “SAFETY”
The thumb “safety” is located on the top rear portion of the receiver.
To move the “safety” to the “on safe” position press the safety rearward
with your thumb so that the red warning dot is covered (Figure 2A).
To move the safety to “off safe,” press the thumb safety forward with
your thumb, exposing the red warning dot, indicating that the gun is
ready to fire (Figure 2B).
Note: Do not depend on
the red color alone to
indicate your gun’s safety
status, as time, exposure to
the elements, as well as the
abrasive action of cleaning
agents can erase it.
