Just wondering if anyone among this august group can answer whether or not a selective trigger from one BSS will fit (interchange) with a non-selective in another. I shoot my 30" BSS really well, and am considering beginning a search for a junker BSS with selective trigger if I can put it in my non-selectable trigger BSS, or maybe even finding the needle in the haystack and locating a selective trigger for it.

A junker BSS with a selective trigger! Now that's a bit of an oxymoron.
I don't think it's as simple as a swap out.

Not necessarily, Don. All it takes is a gun with a bad or blown barrel. Never said the search would be easy, just want to know if it's "doable" without a big 'smithing bill.

Well, I don't think you will fine "junker" BSSs growing on trees. Besides, Selective triggers are over rated anyway.

Thanks for the enlightenment, Don, but note that I did not ask for an opinion on how hard it would be to find one, OR your opinion of selective triggers.

Stan, Excuse me, I'm sorry that you felt that I was attacking you. That was not the case.

Don knows that double triggers are the best choice when it comes to "selectable".

I'd ask you question of Midwest Gunworks. They should know if it's a doable thing and might even have some parts.
As to your "needle in a haystack" search, I'll bet it would be easier to find a BSS with selective trigger in good condition. Buy it and sell yours.

No problem, Don. I apologize for being so touchy about it. My bad.
Larry, I know, as well, that double triggers are the best option. I favor them over selectives, but double triggers are not an option on a BSS, at least not a reasonable option. I shoot this gun exclusively in S x S sporting clay competition and would really like the option of having my choice of choke on the bird that may need it without having to swap chokes every station. I hate doing that. It is choked mod. and full, not exactly ideal for sporting, even WITH a selective trigger. If I cannot make it selective I will open them to .020" and .020" and forget all about it. If I CAN make it selective I will have it threaded for S-1 Brileys and use some of the 14 tubes I already have on hand in it.
Jim, I realize that swapping guns is an option, but I looked a long time to find a 30" one with 3" chambers so that it could double as a duck gun, and it's a good one. I believe I'll look for a "cheap" selective one. I've already seen two in the $750 range. I'm the eternal optimist. I just know there's one out there with a busted stock somewhere that I could salvage the trigger AND an extra set of barrels off of.
I'm going to pull the butt off my best buddy's selective BSS , and off mine, and look at them closely to see if I can do the swap. May call Midwest, too.
Thanks for all the suggestions, Stan

Stan, yes it's doable. It'll be expensive if you pay for the smithing. You'll need the triggerplate and all the trigger mechanism. You'll have a ton of money invested even if you just paid for parts. I
looked into doing it myself. Not practical IMO. Much more practical to start looking for the SST twin of your gun.
