Thanks to a heads up from folks on the board I was able to pick up one of the surplus Hi-Powers that Numrich was offering earlier this month. Finally got a chance to go get it from my FFL today. Sorry for the crummy cellphone photos - I'll have time to get some better ones in the next week or so. This is my second surplus Hi-Power. Last year I snagged a handpicked one from AIM. Here's the new arrival:
Here it is with its brother. Newest one is on top:
The finish might be a tad bit rougher than the AIM specimen but it was also $100+ less expensive! Insides look great & the bore is beautiful. There's a bit of corrosion on one of the grip screws but beyond that there's no rust. If it's anything like my other Hi-Power it'll shoot like a dream. At right around $330 this feels a little like theft
More pics and a range report to come!
