U.S. Border Patrol BHP

I worked at a gun shop in Texas to 1969 to 1974

We had a small contract may have been Texas only I don't know but it was to install S&W K-Frame sights on 3 or 4 dozen Brownings. I know that's not many but Id sure be interested in seeing if any are still in circulation.

We milled and tapped for the rear sight, sweated on a ramp style front sight, we had to build a fixture for the front, experiment a lot to get the right set up then we reblued most of them later we did some more in electroless nickel (Nitex) and removed magazine disconnect. Then I got to test fire them!

I learned to use a mill and sweat with silver solder on these, never had one come back I was 14yrs old. Bet those officers (or their department) didn't know a teen age kid did the mods on their duty gun.

Let's block ads! (Why?)
