Among my smooth bores is a Sporting Clays model of the Cynergy that has seen about 3000 rounds. (Nothing for a Clays gun, my two Superposed have 25,000+ between them and have never broken) The Cynergys built before 2010 (roughly) have the ejector pinned to the ejector actuator rod by a faintly knurled pin. When the gun is shot in competition (not "a lot" but more than than average hunter) The knurling on the pin is battered flat by the stress of ejection. The pin then can move left or right. If it moves left and you close the action smartly, the pin will break the ejector operating rod at the place the pin goes through it. The only fix is a new ejector operating rod, ejector and pin since the system has been upgraded to splined force fit designed system on all 3 parts (in 2010). The ONLY way to get it fixed or upgraded is for you to send the whole gun back to Browning's main repair center. (Mine left today) If you have one that does not have the splined system and has not failed (yet) what to do ? A roll pin would fix the problem and probably last forever. Being old fashioned, I'd drill and tap the ejector and ejector rod for a headless Torx screw, clean all the bits to bare metal and install the screw with Loctite 3221 (the maximum that takes heat to remove). Every time the gun was cleaned, I'd check the Torx screws to ensure they were still tight. The basic design is, IMHO, a bit on the light side, especially as the same system is used in the 3.5" 12 bore duck & turkey guns that shoot loads a lot harder to kick out the empties than my 7/8 oz/ Red Dot Clays handloads. All the parts are investment castings rather than machined from forged steel. I own both Ruger 77s (cast) and C.1950 FNs (machined). While they both work, no quality aware shooter would chose the Ruger over the FN (or a Cynergy over a 1950s Surperposed!) Hope my experience helps someone else from hearing "ka-plink" and seeing his ejector sitting in the bottom of the action. | ||

Glad you had good service from Browning, I had a 410 Citori several years back. I'm a pretty fair hand with a shot gun but I wasn't getting any solid hits so I put up a pattern board and this thing was shooting 8" high and right and Browning told me it was within Browning's specs. And didn't do any thing to correct the problem. Stepchild NRA Life Member | |||

You have a stock problem that any stockmaker versed in shotguns could have cured. Combs can be raised and lowered, stocks bet up and down and side to side, buttplate pitch changed ...... it's done all the time. Browning probably put it in a machine rest, lined up the sights and, depending on the model, it either shot to the point of aim or slightly high (a trap gun). It's lost on most new shooters, who live on bench rests, that for a rifle OR shotgun to work properly it has to fit the user. The fitted rifle or shotgun that "snaps up" into place is a joy. The Brits have known this for hundreds of years, using "try guns" to fit the gun to the shooter as a fine tailor will arrange your trousers differently if your balls hang left or right. It's not rocket science but guns are made for "Mr Average" and if you a'int him. you'll have issues. Here's a link with some suggestions in your area. http://www.shotgunworld.com/bb...pic.php?f=2&t=227430 Good shooting ! | |||
