I had a Belgian side by side start going off when I closed it. Repeatable. Sent it to the gunsmith. Got it back and it did it again. It is in my gun cabinet now. I've got to find another gunsmith. I had hunted with that gun for a few seasons before the problem developed.

Hunted with an acquaintance that had a Browning Superposed with a sling. Sling broke, the gun discharged when it hit the ground.

In both instances no harm was done to man or bird dog. But it is only so because of luck.





I am glad to be here.
