FN Browning High Power M1946 – Danish Army

**alamo308** · 03-03-2020 03:41 PM

Followed me home last week. Guess I'll have to keep it?
Just acquired it two days ago, and now very anxious to expend some 9mm ammo.
I have no idea if that finish is original or later update.

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. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

The finish is aftermarket. They were usually blued.

Nice pistol BTW.

I have imported a few in to the UK icon

and they have all been blued, they normally have a spare magazine with them as well.

Thanks.
I figured the finish was too nice to be original. But I think it sure makes for an agreeable looking piece.
Kind of like a dark, charcoal-grey parkerizing.

Nice, nice, nice...now to warm it up and smooth that finish up a bit. A quick thousand ought to help. Wish I was closer, I just happen to have a box of just about that amount...nice pistol.

Thanks!
Any recommendations how to go about smoothing that finish?

Usually use and cleaning will smooth out new Parkerising over time. I wouldn't do anything 'aggressive' to it.

I agree...that was what I meant anyway. Lots of shooting, it'll take it.

Smoothing the finish? Daily carry and lots of holster use and lots of shooting should be more than enough
