Okay. Here's the scoop... Got a line on an Argentinian copy of a Browning Hi-Power. It's at a good price, the gun's in good shape, and the dealer comes recommended (it's not someone I've dealt with before, but others here have vouched for him).
What I want to know is, how interchangeable are the FM Hi-Powers with traditional Brownings? Are the magazines the same (specifically the hi-capacity mags)? Grips? I don't want to drop $$$ on nice wood grips only to find that significant modification is required.
Anyone have any experience/thoughts/horror stories? I believe this is a similar situation to the Argentinian Colts (Sistemas), and the Colts are interchangeable IIRC.
Thanks in advance!
