How does one go about inactivating the automatic safety on a BSS?

Gratuitous photo of my BSS. Note the spectacular wood!



Thanks,
Jeff

Take the butt stock off by removing the butt plate and the draw bolt. Take the receiver off and then remove the safety button which should allow you to take the rod out. Simply flip the rod around and reinstall it and all the other parts.

This picture shows the safety rod and the button - retainer clip - bar .

You need to remove that clip so the 90 degree bar and rod can be taken out. Just flip the rod around so the collar on the rod can't push on the bar. The rod is flipped around in this picture. Note how far the collar is from the 90 degree bar.

Re wood on a BSS . . . In general, from what I've observed, the Charles Daly guns made by Miroku seem to have better wood than do the BSS.

That gun obviously has wood sourced from Beretta.

Could be someone in Browning management simply thought it way too fancy to put on an A5.


Best,

Piss elm was Browning's favorite wood for the BSS, though a few did escape with decent black walnut. Yours has a piece of select piss elm, JNW.

Looks like a Perazzi skid board, AKA stock blank. A friend ruled out Perazzi, he said the forend matches the butt stock so it can NOT be a Perazzi

I think the wood looks nice in a floor-board kind of way.

Below are two BSS’s. the first one is a Sporter with standard wood and the second gun is a Sporter with Browning upgraded wood.

Kudos for a crystal clear answer to the OP question, Chuck.
Thank you.

Chuck,
Thanks for your reply. Mine's a non-selective trigger so don't know if it's the same. I'll look at it this weekend.
On the plus side I don't have to worry about scratching a pretty piece of wood. My German guns came with wood not quite as nice as the BSS.
Regards
Jeff

The non-selective trigger has the same safety.

Again, thank you.

I had a 20 ga. BSS with the sst that I did the suggested procedure on for disconnecting the auto safety. It worked, but had consistent ftf's on the second barrel.

I don't know why that would be. Did you try putting it back to the original orientation and did it fix it?

No, I traded it for a Beretta A400. Afaik, the dealer sold it without any repercussions.

My thought is that it was coincidental. The rod orientation shouldn't affect the trigger.

I agree, Chuck.

Several years ago I had a problem BSS with failure to fire the left barrel when the right barrel was selected to fire first. Both barrels would fire just fine if the left barrel was fired first. I came to find that upon recoil the left hammer would wedge against some wood on the buttstock and would not move. A little work with a small chisel fixed it just fine and it has never given a bit of trouble since.
