Hey INGO,
The recent "would you trust your life with a clone" thread got me thinking.
I recently got burned on gunbroker and paid a browning price for a FEG counterfeit hi-power(no recourse of action is available, waited too long).
I have not qualms with the gun other than the value associated with it....it seems to function well and shoot acceptable groups.
My dilemma....
I bought this "browning" so that I could have it milled for new sights, install a new hammer/sear set, install nice grips, and have a new carry gun.
But, if I put $350 worth of work into the gun...well...the work is almost worth as much as the pistol its self.
Do I:????
- Modify and gunsmith this "counterfeit"
- Buy a real browning/FN and have "feel good" value
What would INGO do?
Please and thank you
God bless
