Browning Hi-Power

[Cobra66]

Here is a BHP Mark1* I just picked up today with 7 magazines. It still needs to be cleaned up and I'm going to take it out shooting tomorrow. It is a Inglis from Canada with the 500m tangent rear sight but is missing the shoulder stock. I'll try out the tangent sight tomorrow as I'll be mainly shooting rifle so wish me luck. I traded a rifle I don't use anymore for it. The finish looks a little rough but crown of barrel, rifling on the barrel and lock up are really nice. I have the original grips but haven't reinstalled them yet. The hogue grips actually feel pretty good.

That is an awesome Inglis man, but loose the Houge grips

You need some custom grips from Hakan Pek.

Or Spegels. Navidrex would do also.

First BHP I ever shot was a Canadian Army piece, borrowed for what passed for a "commando match". Very high speed, low drag for 1960.

Thanks and I took your advice. I was nervous to remove the grips expecting the worst but front strap and main spring are in great shape. Looks alot better now should of did that before posting the last time.

Ahh, now that is BEAUTIFUL!!!

Nothing against houge grips, but on a 1940s gun, they just don't look right.

Also note the magazines you have. The Inglis magazines have a little disassembly tab on the base plate whereas FN (and later MecGar) manufactured magazines are built like modern magazines. Supposedly there is some collector value in the original Inglis magazines.
