John Inglis High power

OK folks, here's pics of OPs hi power. Nice pistol...

When it was ftr in 62 the British baked on Suncorite black paint on her and updated the barrel cam lock up service and updated hammer and extractor. I shot it it and she ran perfect with great accuracy.

When they're tight, they do tend to do that.

Nice Pistol, I have one but in original early 1945 issued condition.

Are the two mags Inglis stamped, if so rare over here.

Many had their barrels replaced as well, either a new barrel from Canadian Arsenals Ltd at Longbranch, Ontario, or a re-used and force-matched original barrel.

That was part of the program's undoing...it turned out that a replacement CAL barrel cost more than a complete new pistol from FN.

I wondered years ago when I was begging pistols to do the pistol portion of the small arms instructor course in Gagetown, why didn't they just purchase new Mk3 Hi Powers direct from Belgium. That way our remaining parts would be useful. Our mags were the real issue, they'd been damaged and mandrelled out to shape again and some had lost their strength. Instead we messed around and FN and Browning quit making Hi Powers...
