Hello Stephen and to all HI-Power owners;
I was looking at a used FEG hi-power and noticed that the barrel was somekind like a 2 piece barrel designe. I can clearly see the line, which at first looked like a crack, but as you make a 360 degree closer inspection you'll discover that the barrel is indeed a 2 piece barrel. Have shot it on a test run of 30rounds on lead-reloads without a hiccup, but I was concerned on the barrel designe. New FEGs now seem to have the 1 piece barrel. Im very much wanting to get a hi-power though a clone but should I be wary about the 2 piece barrel?
Clearly this particular FEG is somekind of a 1st generation designe. Guide rod is seated differently on the barrel with a relief cut directly engaged to the barrel block. While the newer ones are just loosely seated on the barrel block. 2nd, the slide stop design is quite different from the new ones. The newer versions dont have the circular thing that is in line with the barrel link hole. 3rd, the thumb safety is not extended. However, these are just least of my concerns.
Hope you can enlighten me more on the 2 piece barrel designe.
Thanks in advance.
