Having trouble identifying the model. In 1979 (date indicated by your sn), Browning produces the BBR bolt-action rifle, the B78 single-shot and the BAR semiautomatic rifle in 7mm Remington Magnum, but none of those had that 117 designation. What type of rifle do you have?
It happens. Does not add any real value.
I am aware of only the following calibers in the B78: 22 250; 6mm Rem, 7mm Rem Mag; 30 06 and 45 70.
With a flat screwdriver , their are 4 positions, eject straight out the rear , to the left or to the right, and a stop or catch position.
