Re: Browning B-92 357 Iron Sights

Does the installation of the tang peep sight require drilling any holes or does it fit into the existing ones?

Thanks.

Re: Browning B-92 357 Iron Sights

One thing to consider is: What ammo are you shooting ? Some ammo's ballistics can easily exceed a given rifles factory set sight adjustment range. And........ A higher front sight, as posted above - is a better fix, no question. Whether or not you want to, or are able to, do the sight height calcul...

Re: Browning B-92 357 Iron Sights

I'm also not seeing the folding sight in Marbles online listing. They have one but it doesn't have an elevator. Marble told me that only the 66/67/68 non folding sights would work.

Which Marble tang sight is that? I may go with a folding rear sight in which case I'll get a tang sight as well.

Thanks everyone for their suggestions.

Browning B-92 357 Iron Sights

Has anyone replaced their iron sights on one of these guns? Who makes sights that fit? My current sighting arrangement is not original and shoots too high and can't be adjusted down anymore.

Thanks.

Re: Pet Load B92 357

I've had good luck with AA#9 and 180 gr, CP or Beartooth WFNGC bullets. Don't have access to reloading notes for exact charge weight. Oh, this WAS from a B92. I have ordered some bearcat 185 FNGC but who knows when that will ship? Perhaps when I can buy primers locally again. I'll try the powders I...

Re: Pet Load B92 357

I was out at the range today and it was a bit of a wash. I could get about 2 to 3 inch groups at 50 yards with both loads. I'll have to go out and shoot more, which is fine by me. The H110 loads are shooting much better than I had originally thought. I did polish the bore when I got the gun back fr...

Pet Load B92 357

I've determined that my B92 has about a 1 in 20" twist. So far it doesn't seem to like H110 powder and 180gr xtp's. Can anyone recommend a load that works for them (assuming their gun has a similar rifling twist)? I'm going out to the range tomorrow and will try to 158 gr xtps with H110. Thanks.

Browning B92 357 twist rate

I'm trying to determine what the twist rates were for these guns. I have one which Steve Young just worked on it it doesn't seem to shoot 180 xtp very accurately. (five inch groups at 50 yards) I'm wondering if this could be due to the twist rate. He thought some of these guns may have had slow twis...
