RUGER89,



Welcome to the VGOF, please sto by the new members area and introduce yourself...

as far as your issue...the only item that comes to my mind, (which is kinda small) is that you are missing the metal flange/seer ( the specific name currently escapes me ) that grabs the round off of the top of the clip and pushes it into the forcing cone....does it look like anything is missing from the slide?? silly question, but you are sure you have the right clip???

Honestly, I would recomend a quality gunsmith, that willl certainly make up for any savings you had by buying it w/o a clip at a pawn shop...

I am going to guess this was a "as is" sale...?

The great news is that you have come to the right place for leads and discussion...and many will chime in...

welcome welcome!

Here's a link to a manual for that pistol. It has detailed tear-down drawings if you need to disassemble it.

i took some pictures

Your Baby Browning is not missing any parts from what I see in your photos. I also have one and I would have to say that your clip is either not the right one for the weapon or the upper lips on the clip might be bent the spring could be too weak or the follower is not correct. It is hard to tell what the problem is without seeing the weapon. You did not say where you are from in Va. if it is close or you are going to try and make it to the June 5th. and 6th. shoot and greet & meet at my place I will be happy to take a look at it for you. I am just outside of Keysville.

i was told this is not a baby browning but a FN model 1906 so i just have the wrong magazine

Ok" what is inscribed on the side of the slide, Browning or FN. Not that it matter's, all the part's are still in attendance.

I also own a Baby Browning and need 2 Magazines for it. Seems difficult to find. Mine is a Browning bought 1970 Serial NO.460492. Always owned it. Had gun stolen and when brought back by police was missing magazine. Any idea where to buy ?

Go to Numrich Arms sight at www.GunPartsCorp. com and look up your magazine under baby browning parts. It is a replacement Mag. not an org. for about 34.00

If your in RIchmond today (4/10/10), stop by the VCDL table at the Gun Show this afternoon at RIR. I bought a used Mag for my .25 ERMA couple of months ago but it is just a hair short. I'll let you have it for $10.00 (the mag that is)

I couldnt either...

On the serious side we do need to learn the proper nomenclature for what we use and do...too much ignorance already about guns being inappropriately used by the MSM and others against our rights...

Ok Jim, then how did you miss (the bullett in the chamber) instead of the Cartridge in the chamber.

Bill I think Jim was trying to find the clip...
