Hiya Guys . Lookie what popped up on the local gun Grapevine for 5 Ben Franklin's ... An original retro 9mm Belgian Browning Hi-Power from the early to mid 1970's that was originally imported by interarms firearms of Texas before Sam Cummings passed away. Somehow it found its way to Cabelas and overall it's in really nice shape. Functionally everything is super tight yet the slide is still as smooth as butter even though it has a fairly Stout recoil spring in it. It still has the factory magazine disconnect in it and even with it in place that trigger isn't bad at all and I'm guessing that as soon as I remove it it'll make for a fantastic trigger just like it did with my Israeli Kareen mk1 & my FEG P9M. Other than the finished being worn in spots and needing a nice set of wood grips, I like it. On another note it has the early fixed pre 3 Dot style sights that look like 3 dots, only they have white lines instead and the front sight is still dimpled so I'll probably touched it up with a dab of fluorescent orange fingernail polish. Other than that I plan on removing the magazine disconnect, finding a nice set of grips for it and I may even touch up the bluing a bit & I'll definitely enjoy shooting it ...
