Left my Browning bar mk3 composit to a smith to thread barrel. Threading looks fine, but think the smith broke something inside. Dont look so great.
Anyone that can tell what he broke? Or have a picture how it should look like?

Did you...

Did you ask him about what you found? though the explanation probably won't make you feel better, you might learn why this happened.
I, personally, would get him to make it right.

My .02 cents Canadian... Oh well, my thoughts, then ....

Havent contacted him, he did say 1 bolt for the barrel broke, but he made a new one. Lucky on that was he didnt mess up the threads so I ordered 1 new barrel screw that fits nicely and 1 new screw on the picture he messed up (recoil guide screw). Havent tried get that 1 lose. I dont want him to fix it, beacuse I can not trust someone that does this. But I have 1 question, anybody now the torque for the barrel screws on the bar mk3?

I don't know where you live but I would contact your country's main Browning distributor for a reference to you in your area.
It's worth your while to have it done properly and within your warranty's scope.

Again, just 2 cents Canadian...

After Contact with Browning service in Sweden. The torque for barrel screws are 8nm. My bar is now complete with both barrel screws replaced with correct torque and the recoil guide screw replaced. THX for help
