Looking for B78 grip cap

Print Post  
spent a couple hours grinding a piece of 416 stainless for a missing grip cap for a Browning 78, although it might be functional I would like to buy an original one if anyone has one to part with. I've searched the web but have not found one
thanks

Ballards may be weaker,
but they sure are neater!

Maybe the Browning 1885 might work?

You need to get ahold of Gary Chatham down in Texas. If theres any left He would have them. I can try to dig his number up.

I believe the B78 cap is plastic.  The Browning 1885 is a little larger & steel.
