Nice catch. Yeah, this gun on GI has been messed with.

Isn't the fluted comb another tell-tale sign? Don't think I've seen one on a BSS Sporter.

The NSST may have been the first to come out. I wasn't around when the BSS was rolled out. I was going off of what I'd been told.

Replacement- I suppose I should have said that the long tang on the sporter goes down the stock further, ALMOST to the point that the checkering stops. It does stop a tad short of the checkering, but nothing near what the gun in GI ad does.

I was a Browning dealer from the 1973 to the mid '80's. The early BSS models had pistol grips, NSST and silver colored triggers. Gold colored triggers followed and represented SST. I have never seen a factory Sporter with a silver colored trigger.

I currently own three BSS all with SST and gold triggers - two Sporters, one Japanese and the other assembled in Korea, and one pistol grip with 30" barrels.
