Browning 1885 firing pin bushing tool

Post by TexasMac »

Those of you with Browning 1885 BPCRs may be interested in the following. I have never heard of a firing pin breaking in one. Since the firing pin & spring can be cleaned & lubricated by spraying cleaner & oil into the opening in the bottom of the head of the breechblock there is little need to remove the firing pin bushing & firing pin. But there may come a time when the firing pin needs to be removed. In that case there was a 3-pin firing pin bushing tool available from Brownells & MidwayUSA among possibly others. The tool is no longer available buy you can easily make one. See the following.

BTW, it will also fit a Browning B-78 firing pin bushing.
