    A Tale of Two Hi Powers

    I said on a few other gun forums that I had bought my last guns of the year; but I changed my mind...I have missed owning a Browning Hi-Power ever since I traded my .40 S&W Hi-Power earlier this year.

    On another forum a member was looking to trade an Inglis Hi-Power for an FN49. We connected and made the trade. While I was waiting I started to read about the current crop of imported Hi-Powers, Israeli Military and National Police Belgiumicon Hi-Powers, ranging in date of manufacture from the late 1930s - 1970s. I had tried to buy (on Guns America) a 1936 vintage gun but Guns America doesn't have a buy it now option, but a "make offer to buy" and someone had made an offer to buy the day before. I settled on one from around 1952 vintage, same age as me. This HP was $419 plus $10 shipping; my gun shop charged me $20 per gun for the transfers.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    That last one looks just like the '52 (or so) P35 I got from Robertson Trading Post. Paid 399.95. Shoots nicely, after a bit of adjusting on the extractor. Looked virtually unfired in terms of bore and barrel wear. A holster queen, it would seem.
