FWIW I finally took my FEG to a gunsmith and he sanded a bit off the frame- said it was too soft and was peening a bit when the slide came back. Not real thrilled but for $150 it's hard to complain.
Thanks! Not as pretty as an earlier T series I use to have but this is one is so much improved with better sights, trigger, and intrinsic accuracy as to make it my favorite 9mm.
Well, if you are that kind of gun guy and I qualify.Mine is hard chrome with custom hammer and grips. Mag safety removed. One pistol I have never had any kind of jam with. Made in Belgium assembled in Portugal. Early 90's. You have to have a Hi-power and a 1911 if you are a gun guy.
Question for you all. I just installed the 18.5# wolf recoil springs in my hi powers (a '61 and a '92). I bought both of these used so I figured they should get new springs. The new springs were a good inch longer than the old and extremely difficult to reassemble. Is this normal? Is there a trick to assembly or will the springs break in?
Also I'll get some pics to you guys in a little bit but I can say the new to me '92 shot really accurately, I am very pleased.
Pics of the new hi power. Seems to be a '92 browning with the baked on paint finish (so practical I think?) and some tru dot tritium sights that must have been added more recently because they are still pretty good. Some wear on the finish but barrel looks perfect and shoots as good as it looks. I think I got a pretty good deal for an even $600 with a couple grip choices and 2 mags. The best part was he threw in a set of original style grips that I needed for my old one.
As I just said installed new recoil spring and a case of ammo just came in the mail so I think I'm all set! Eventually I would like to use this as a workhorse platform with some light customizing. I'm thinking trigger job, round hammer, maybe ambi safety delete, and Cerakote.
