I really don't know why you're getting your dander up because I never represented it as such, either. I defer to your superior knowledge wrt Hi-Powers. But I do still think I got a pretty decent deal, and that's pretty much all I was representing. It was part of this lot offered here:
And I have no idea who Greg Cote is, but if he's a dealer for firearms and accessories, maybe you might advise him to investigate why his website didn't come up amongst the first page or so of search engine hits when I was looking for Hi-Power mags, because if it ranks somewhere down below that, most people don't go any further down than the first page of relevant hits.
*I just searched on Duck-Duck-Go for "Browning Hi-Power magazines" and it didn't come up as a hit in the first seven pages.
The last thing I am going to say about this. Mosin Crate offers some cool stuff but he does not know much about BHPs. He accurately grades the T series in the group you bought as shooter grade guns. They have ZERO collector value beyond a small premium because the T in their serial number. The real tell that Mosin Crate does not know much about BHPs is when he states that grips are not as easy to replace as removing a screw. If you have owned enough BHPs over the years you know that variance in the frames make grips hard to fit. Even the best BHP grip maker in the world Craig Spegel sends instructions on how to fit his grips to your gun. He does not guarantee fit because of the variance in the tolerances of the grip screw location from vintage to vintage on BHPs. Again I am not trying to bust your balls but your wrong on your assessment and your facts. Again you paid a good price for a surplus T series. It looks great and should serve you well. Enjoy it but please don't compare it to a commercial T in high 90s % condition. They are not the same IMHO.
