subject to wear and requires periodic inspection, adjustment, and
service. Browning firearms should be serviced by a Browning

Arnold, Missouri. Browning cannot assume any responsibility for
injuries suffered or caused by unauthorized servicing, alterations or
modifications of Browning firearms.
22 BROWNING RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REFUSE SERVICE ON FIREARMS
THAT HAVE BEEN ALTERED, ADDED TO OR SUBSTANTIALLY CHANGED.
Removal of metal from barrel(s), or modifications of the firing mech-
anism and/or operating parts may lead to Browning’s refusal of ser-
vice on such firearms. Browning will charge the owner for parts and
labor to return the firearm to original Browning specifications.
