browning

which should I get? I want a reliable, accurate pistol for 22lr to plink and train my daughters to shoot with. Would probably like adjustable sights but not too worried about them. Would like the option to put a red dot on since I have an extra one laying around. Not too worried about adding...

Well, I've got another tired and worn firearm to try and bring back. A friend asked if I could take a look at "an old 22" that his wife's grandfather used on the farm. He dropped it off yesterday and I started churning through the web. Here's what I THINK I know. The firearm appears to be a...

Hello - I recently acquired a Hi Power Practical in 9mm. It is in beautiful condition, I'd be surprised if the previous owner fired 50 rounds through it. The silver frame does not have a mark on it, nor does the black slide. It's a '95 - made in Belgium, assembled in Portugal. It has it's...

If you could only have one semi auto 22lr any brand in the world what would it be? I'm debating between a Browning buckmark rifle, the classic 10/22, and the cz 512 which shares magazines with my 455 varmint. For hunting and target.

Greetings all, first post! I am interested in shortening my Browning A5, but am having a hard time nailing down precise definitions. What I currently have is a 20-something inch barrel and a shoulder stock. I plan to shorten the barrel to less than 18", but overall length will exceed 26" (the...

Hello, all I have a buck special barrel for the browning auto 5. Do any of you know if the buck special has a special forend? The ring the magazine tube passes through is further forward than my trap barrel, and the forend does not work with the buck special barrel. Specifically, there is...

Ok, so I bought this Browning Buckmark in a plastic baggie in pieces. I was told it was jamming and they didn't want to mess with it after they took it all apart. I took it to a local gunsmith and he said all the springs were wore out. He put it back together and now it is fine. The whole length...

Hi, I'm having a problem with my BHP that I'm hoping someone might be able to help with. After firing several rounds this past weekend, I noticed that the slide wasn't locking back after firing the last round of the clip. It's a fairly new gun that hasn't been fired that much so I chalked it...

In this month's NRA American Rifleman magazine, they discussed the difference between a Browning Hi-Power, and Browning Hi-Power. Read here: http://www.americanrifleman.org/articles/2015/12/2/5-little-known-facts-about-the-fn-browning-high-power/

Tomorrow, I am going to a local gun show. I am going to look for a Browning A5. My father once owned one and, regrettably, had to sell it when I was just a baby to pay some bills. Even though I don't know for sure, I would being willing to bet that my "baby" bills were the ones he needed extra...

I see 1911s going for $450 but I never see Hi-Power copies going for that cheap. I even see 1911 semi-autos chambered in 9mm going for $380.00 Is the BHP design that much more expensive to make? Is it because the low-cost copy cats would rather clone the CZ-75? I am nostalgic for the...

My love of the venerable P35 started long ago. I read an article as a young buck Sergeant about a hard core motivator on a PSD detail in Israel back in the 70s. His sidearm of choice, the Hi-Power. It wasn't issued, he chose it. When I got out of the military and started working PSD details...

I have a 2 9/16" chambered FN A5 16ga. i've been thinking of having reworked to 2 3/4". was wondering if anyone has experience with this here and if so does it affect the reliability/ durability of the gun? i'm not worried about collector value as the gun looked like it'd been used as a hammer...
