Being a Hi-Power fan in all it's variations and since I don't see a lot of T series on here, I wanted to share this one with you guys & gals. An early T series with the "famous" mid to late sixties aftermarket Micro branded adjustable sight and the replacement higher front post, this was the only adj. sight available for the BHP before 1969 when the sport model with "beer can" adj. sights was introduced as a factory option. The sharp edges of the sight have never been rounded which I don't really like but still keeps the "originality" to it. It also looks like it was fitted without removing too much or any metal from the factory rear sight cut, I may be mistaken but I think that the Micro was design to be fitted to the original cut of mid-sixties vintage BHP's.
This one has the one piece barrel just like all T series had even though the two piece barrel was introduced in 1962. The slide internals has the last three digits of the frame serial number and the year/quarter of production stamped to the left of the serial last three's, a "4" with one out of 4 diamond sides meaning that it was manufactured in the first quarter of 1964. It also bears inspector (Jacques Fuchs 1960-1968) */U stamp and of course, both ELG/* in crowned oval (definitive proof) and rampant lion over PV (nitro proof) marks on the barrel, slide and frame.
It's in pristine condition with very few rounds through it, mirror like bore and like new rifling. Still has the magazine disconnect but I find the trigger weight, creep and letoff to be pretty smooth.
Please post pics of your BHP's in all forms and variations!
Two last digits of the serial have been blurred.
Edit: I've change the title of this thread to include all Hi-Power variations (Inglis, Browning, FEG...etc). Let's show them!
