couple ? re BHP parts/where to get

labgrade · August 9, 2000, 03:21 PM

Called Browning yesterday & ordered another trigger lever for my BHP.

~$41+S&H = yikes! for (what appears to be) a sintered hunk o' metal. Sticker shock! Seems was steep!

Is there another source for quality parts for HiPowers that y'all'd recommend?

While one the subject ....

This trigger is pushed up from the trigger, into another lever in the slide which trips the sear.

Mine has pretty extensive wear (perhaps 1/4 worn away w/a few K shots fired) on the interior/uppermost portion & can't for the life of me see what it could be rubbing against.

Normal or ?

http://www.marstar.ca/ They are in canada so all there prices are in canadian dollars so you get them for about a third less. They have an 800 number too and they are very helpful.They have trigger levers for $30 canadian.

Labgrade the wear is probably normal but if you want to see what it's rubbing against coat the parts with dykem blue, assemble and work it a few times. Disassemble and you'll see the shiny spots that are rubbing. George

Thank you, gentlemen.

& George, thanks for that (forgotten) tip. Totally spaced dykem = duh on my part.

Labgrade -- My trigger lever is also showing wear after less than 500 rounds. It's normal.
