Nightlord40K.....sorry no photos. Sadly this was reblued at some point. It does have the tangent rear sight if that helps.

That's OK, takes it out of the "Collector" category and into the "Awesome Shooter" class!:)

Could be wrong, but I don't think any tangent-sight guns were shipped post WW2, unless it was immediately after the war from left over parts. I love my T-series, but always thought the tangent sight guns were even cooler.

Thanks again for the info. Tangent sight are great. Beautiful hand gun and a great shooter.
 
Browning/FN has produced several runs of tangent sight High Powers since WWII. The MX date was probably one of the Capitan runs.
 
According to the NRA site, MX is 2003. And it says the Configuration Code for the Hi Power is 510; 511 must be a variation — maybe it denotes the tangent sight. You can call Browning and find out.
 
Righto. I'm guessing 2003, and some version of a Capitan with that awesome 600m range. The "MX" translates to "03". I have never ever heard of an aftermarket tangent sight for a BHP.
