I proceeded to set up the design project objectives for the new project as follows:

1. The gun must be completely ambidextrous and favor both right and left hand shooters. Bottom ejection was essential, and the side ejection receiver ports would be eliminated.

2. The safety must be thumb operated, centrally located on the receiver tang and easily controlled by the thumb on the trigger finger right or left hand.

3. It must be loaded from the bottom ejection port opening without depressing the lifter and with no restriction or finger pinching by the lifter during the loading operation.

4. Twin action bars must be employed for smooth non binding slide operation.

5. The receiver must be machined from quality high strength steel. All components should likewise be quality materials. (No die-cast parts.)

6. Smooth, streamlined receiver, stock, and forearm shape. (No humpback shape to rear of receiver.)

7. Best quality balance and user-friendly stock dimensions in accordance with Browning’s high standards.
