Title: Browning Folding Hunter
Post by: dkard on February 03, 2013, 12:20:00 PM

I just picked up a Browning Folding Hunter off the classifieds but it is missing one of the original screws.

It is knurled head bolt with what looks to be a 1/4"-20 thread about 3/4" long.

Anyone have a spare from a old or broken bow?

Thanks dave

1/4 20 are pretty common thread size so should not be too much of a problem finding the correct bolt at your local hardware store.

Dave,

 Those bows are pretty rare.I hope you don't mind me posting pictures.


Bjorn,

 Here are a couple of pictures of one that I have. It is unshot and the only one I've ever owned so I can't tell you how they shoot.

That's it. The bolts are 1/4 by 20, with a 3/8" shoulder and a knurled knob.

Pretty cool little design.

I believe there was a wood riser version also. It was made by Sabo and sold under their name and under the Browning name.

You may want to check with Fastenal for the bolts.

Ron,

 Yes there was a wood riser model but I have never actually seen one. Only the old archery ads for them.
