Discussed that one elsewhere. Other than the smaller forend and the fact there's just one screw in the bottom of the receiver vs 2 on the BSS--and, of course, the DT--it looks a whole lot like a Sporter with DT. Wonder if that gun came out of Japan and was perhaps finished by FN?

So what if it was discussed elsewhere? And, I have a Japanase-made, Korean-assembled 12-g BSS Sporter with one screw at the bottom of the receiver.

Interesting. I looked at all the BSS listed on the Cabela's website. (Many, unfortunately, you can't see the bottom of the receiver.) Where the screws were visible, most had two. But there was at least one with only one screw. They must've had a couple variations.

My 12 ga. Sporter - bought new in 1985 - has only Japan markings and has just one screw.
GJZ - Larry was just sayin', not criticizing. This is useful info for someone who wants to find out more about the gun.

Shoudn't the single screw on this gun's trigger plate be clocked?
It is also marked 2-3/4" chambers, and every other BSS that I have looked it is marked 3" chambers, but my Daly 500 is marked 2-3/4".
I don't have my Daly 500 available right now for comparison, but isn't the forend on this BSS a lot closer to the Daly 500 shape than to the Japanese/Korean BSS Sporter shape? Overall seems to be closer to a Daly 500 than to a BSS Sporter, except for the fancy back on the frame.

There are a pretty wide variety of forend shapes on the Miroku Dalys. Most have some sort of a SBT or BT, but I've also seen them with splinters and plunger-type releases.

My Miroku 20 has a plunger release on the splinter f/e and a frame shape that I have never seen on any other Miroku or Daly or BSS.

B C Miroku 12-28 M&F 6.75 lb.. Picked it up for my niece several years ago in Dublin, looks very similar to my BSS 30".
