DLT 1,646 Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 So I took her out yesterday to try and it works very well. However, it shoots low. Consistent nice low group. In studying this little handgun, it appears to internally be an exact copy of a mark I browning High Power. I compared it to the Browning dad gave me and the only physical difference in parts appears to be the sear transfer bar. I would like to replace the rear sight with something adjustable, but info on this handgun is hard to find. I did find and old post that mentions that the rear sight is cut for the .285 and the front for the .280. Not sure exactly how to interpret this info. Gunsmith friends, please explain.

Mullet Man 2,114 Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 Those numbers should be the sight dove tail groove widths. Look at Midway, Brownells or the like and find sights with those numbers for the dove tails grooves. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DLT 1,646 Posted December 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 I'm a bit surprised by how rough the machining appears on the actual browning. I guess we do better work here in the USA when it comes to this sort of thing. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
G O B 3,516 Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 Machine tools have improved over the years. Crap made today often has a better finish than excellent machinery made 30 years ago. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
