MOUNTING THE BARREL TO ACTION
Your Browning 2000 is packaged and
shipped with the forearm attached to the re-
ceiver and magazine tube. In order to install
the barrel it is necessary to remove the fore-
arm from the magazine tube and affix the
forearm on the barrel before mounting the
barrel to the action. Follow the
stens below:

3.
THOROUGHLY CLEAN ALL ANTI-
RUST COMPOUND FROM THE
BARREL,THE BORE AND OTHER
METAL SURFACES. Remove with
any good quality gun oil or gun clean-
ing solvent.
Unscrew the forearm cap and remove
the forearm from the magazine tube.
Affix the forearm to the barrel by lo-
cating the entire forearm rearward of
the barrel ring and gently sliding the
forearm forward until the barrel ring is
seated against the rubber forearm bush-
ing (Figure 1). Do not force the rear-
ward end of the forearm upward around
the barrel as this could split the fore-
arm.
