This is what the gun looked like NIB. My my eyes the sights, trigger and grips have been changed. Sorry for your loss. I would keep it just as your father set it up.

At least you know that was done well!

Having more time to look at this pic I would procced with some caution on this one. The porting looks clean but that front sight cut looks like it was done by a blind monkey with a chisel an a hammer. The sight cut was not properly milled. It looks like it was close enough and then they just...

Factory SFS is not rare it just was never popular. The story/myth was that they built those FN rollmarked guns to market to LEO who were reluctant to carry the BHP cocked and locked. It did not sell well in the dawning age of Fantastic plastic and most were liquidated by CDNN for $400-$500 a...

Factory spare parts are still available directly from Browning. They are cheaper than anywhere else and ship next day for cheap. Sorry you are having trouble but this is why I am reluctant to buy used custom guns without documentation of the build and who did it. Too many shade tree bubbas out...

You can order directly from Stephen Camps widow. Lovely lady I have spoken to her many times. https://www.hipowersandhandguns.com/Products5.html I recommend replacing sear, hammer and springs at the same times. C&S is a great source for a complete kit. Beware that there are variances in BHP...

One of my 2 Hoag BHPs

I understand what you are saying. The issue is that on the internet it impossible to know whose “opinions” are based in fact and time on a particular platform vs what they read on the internet or simply believe to be true. There is a difference. Subtle hints tell one how to separate the wheat...

I do not recommend either of those shops. I have. BHPs from Don Williams, Ted Yost, Novak, Jim Garthwaite RIP, Jim Hoag RIP, Bob Cogan, Jim West Etc…. For basic work with shorter turn times I recommend C&S and Novak.

This post demonstrates that you have very little understanding of the BHP. Yes, today’s mags are designed in a different manner than the original BHP mag. The 365 mag has nothing to do with the BHP mag. Apples to oranges. Oh, and the 365 Mags wear out quickly just like the recoil spring because...

The rollmark was used before the EU existed. The internet myth story is that it was a misunderstanding of US import labeling regulations and that place of final assembly had to be listed. Browning rollmarked Hi Powers destined for the US & North American market are roll marked "Assembled In...

The 15s are not as reliable as the 13s. The follower can and will tilt as the spring wears. You can choose to believe that you want but most high round count BHP shooters understand this. I have a lot of time behind a BHP. I know what I am talking about. Most shooters will never send enough...

The issue with the 15 rounders is that in order to get the additional 2 rounds in to the tube that had to remove the legs or the skirt on the followers which prevent them from tipping. If you use the 15 rounders heavily as the spring the weaken the follower can tilt causing a missfeed. This is...

It is a labor intensive design and FN never put any money into modernizing the process. Also it would not make sense to design a modern full sized gun with a capacity of 15 rounds. I believe they leverage design techniques and tech from other current guns, My issue with the new one it is just...

FN had been assembling BHPs in Portugal starting somewhere in the early 1970s. This is when they bought the plant in Viana they were not marked that way until the MKIII. The SA-35 is a Tisas with SA rollmarks milled and assembled in the US. They are all forged frame, slide and barrel. The FOMO...

My first BHP 1972 C series. Bought it stock and almost gave up on it but Ken AKA Wildalaska of Wild West Guns convinced me to send it in for some custom work. The rest as they say is history.

They have been getting new shipments of BHP parts the few weeks. It is my understanding lots of employees will remain.

Sphinx SDP Subcompact in the summer

It is a C72 depending on actual condition and who is buying $1000-$1500 is the range. If they are selling hi resolution photos showing real condition on an auction site like GB will tell you exactly what it is worth at that moment in time. .

Replacing springs is not a bad idea but please explain to me which out of spec spring is causing this malfunction with JHPs only. Mag spring is the only one I can think of and seems unlikely. If the spring was too weak to feed the JHPs you would most likely see issues with FMJ as well. Also if...
