How Did You Hear About /Find BrowningOwners.com?

Looking for information and researching an early 1950's German police P35/HP, and this site had good reference material.

Hello, I came across the form looking for parts for my light 12 that my dad passed down to me. I have always thought the A5's were an excellent gun. So much that I came across another light 12 with both the buck and bird barrels I did not even hesitate to buy. Reading through the A5 form has really expanded my knowledge about the A5.

I did a google search for “Browning Forums”. This site was the first one to pop up, and I clicked on the link. Glad I did.

I found the site by reading up on bluing for Auto-5's. I've been a Browning fan and owner since my grandfather gave me my first Belgian Auto-5 shotguns (a Magnum 12 and Light 12) when I was 15 (1981). Both manufactured in 1971. He also gave me my first hunting rifle, a beautiful FN Mauser Deluxe 30-06 (Serial number 40XX). I also had many other Browning rifles, pistols and shotguns (T-Bolt .22 (2), Hi-Power 9mm, 30-06 BAR, 7mm BAR, High Wall 1885, 375 H&H... These were stolen by a distant relative when my grandfather passed and I was up deer hunting. No, after nearly 40 years, I haven't been able to get past that. Today, I own A-Bolt rifles in left hand action (My favorite) in .30-06, 7mm Rem Mag, .300 Win Mag and .375 H&H Magnum. I still have the shotguns and FN 30-06 as they will stay with me forever (A promise made to my grandfather when he gave me all his firearms).

Hi! I did a search about my BHP. I am looking to get some work done on it and thought I should find a good group that knows Brownings. This site is it!

I found this site wow searching for help on my 1911 380

You will find lots of interesting info here and good people too

How did I hear about this forum you say? Mrs. Tinyman bought a 1911 22 A1 Compact and I thought (as any male does) try to get smart on what she has. Googled Browning Forum and this popped up.

That's all I'm gonna say about that.

After acquiring my 1911-22 compact, searched for Browning forum and discovered the site.

I picked up a Hi Power MK III yesterday and it looks like it’s never been shot. Absolutely no wear on the finish. I bought it to shoot but now I’m wondering about the value and whether shooting it would decrease the value. I don’t know a lot about the Hi Power and figured I’d find a forum so I googled it.
