Finally taking the plunge

[Parabellus]

Here I am two years after I swore to go for a FN BHP and I finally have one on a down payment. I can pick it up in ten days. :<>:

I didn't see a date on it but the sn begins with 76C..... Is that a clue to the year of birth?

FN discontinued the FN marked Hi-Power some time ago.

You can call Bob and he can find the date for you.

Bob, 703-288-1292 ext 122.

Thanks for the reply jhs.

I just found out what I need to know from a search.

Just as I suspected.

That link is for the Browning Hi-Power.

I'm not sure it will translate to the FN version as the numbers are probably different.

FN BHP

So are you asking about a FN Hi-Power or Browning Hi-Power?

I'm guessing by the mixed term you posted it is a Browning.

The link shows the numbering scheme for FN numbers.

I see that now.

I clicked on the second link on the page and was wisked away to another site with mail order brides and such on it.

And then you had completely forgotten what you were originally looking for, didn't you?

You got that right.

One wife is more than enough. I ran like a thief in the night.
