Raiders of the Lost Ark

$350 mine has the lanyard ring, but is in a little rougher condition. still payed $350 for it though, might could have gotten a little better...

Reply to Post #4 that looks just like my new one, except mine has the lanyard ring and the grips/blueing have a little more mileage on them, but $350 was the best price I'd found as well. guess we missed the low-range train...

FEG Hi-Power in attendance! Now then, what is this "mag disconnect" all about? If I modify it, it'll give me a smoother trigger pull, right? Can someone walk me through this process or provide a link, please?

@ sub-moa Not yet, but I'll let you know when I do.

General Reply I'd say that I'm 90% proof positive I've found the right model, as it's a Mauser with the cam and correct slide cut. It also has a standard safety, wood grips and a lanyard ring, if that means anything - got $50 down on it now, but if yall are suggesting that there's even more...

@ sub-moa Wait, say that again; the Mauser is a BHP clone?! I was sure I had heard otherwise, elsewhere... Trust me, I still prefer the SA trigger!

FEG R9, you say? Alright, new page/new direction, I guess. Tell me more about these R9's, looks like they could work, I'm not offended by the DA trigger (enough), but reliability is key! If it's still "fairly interchangeable" then that'd be close enough, does it shoot just as well as the...

Replies @ sub-moa Alright, I appreciate you holding my hand w/ this one. I think I've got enough to take to the gun store guy now, but I wouldn't dare buy online with all these various factors in play. The three available at my local spot are your "not this" picture, one with a safety on the...

Maybe this is my fault for having trouble following all this, but I feel like we're getting close here, so let me ask it a different way: "Which gun is 100% parts transferable with the original Browning Hi-Power?" That is what I'm looking for.

@ jstein650 That's what I keep hearing, "Why did I ever sell that gun?!" So, what's this mag safety everyone says to remove? I understand it can improve the trigger, but is there some trade-off in functionality upon removing it? I was all revolvers this time 3-months ago, have no idea what...

@ Stringfellow an "oval crossbar seam" huh? So, if I'm looking then that's what I would WANT to see there or I should avoid any gun that has that feature? Like you said, the top photo does have it...

Well, I don't own any swords, but no one's ever bothered me while carrying around one of these...

@ Tolkachi Robotnik - deleted -

@ Tolkachi Robotnik "cheap" is not the primary concern, I'm looking for long term reliability, I can afford a slightly more expensive firearm easier than I can afford a lemon. Still though, affordability is second to that... So, how's this SAR B6P in the ruggedness category?
