	Those of you with Browning 1885 or B78 may be interested in the following. I have never heard of a firing pin breaking in one. Since the firing pin & spring can be cleaned & lubricated by spraying cleaner & oil into the opening in the bottom of the head of the breechblock there is little need to remove the firing pin bushing & firing pin. But there may come a time when the firing pin needs to be removed. In that case there was a 3-pin firing pin bushing tool available from Brownells & MidwayUSA among possibly others. The tool is no longer available but you can easily make one. See the following. Note - I posted the photo on the For Sale/Trade section in a thread for a fellow looking for the tool & figured it would be worth posting here also.. Wayne

	I made one years ago to replace a weak FP return spring in a B78
