Hi fish head,

thanks for your reply.
Only a few information to bring it to the end:

I tried cleaning the BLR but it didn't bring anything. So I decided to send the BLR back to the company that imports the BLRs in Germany. I talked to their gunshmith. What he told me, underlines my opinion about german gunsmiths. He said, the BLR is a typical old style Western gun, not as reliable as Mauser systems and so on..... German gunsmiths and Lever guns don't get together I think..... He said, that they probably need to send it back to Browning in Belgium and he cannot say how long it will take to get it back ....

So I have nothing to do .... except waiting for my BLR.
Hope it will be back before hunting season starts on the first of May.

Best regards from Germany.

Pasche
