Hi: I just bought a 1977 issue HP in mint condition complete with instruction booklet and 2 original magazines. Gun looks unfired. Does anyone know if this gun came with a red felt lined rug or one with a white wool like liner. My 1968 T-series has a red felt lined rug.
Very nice score, Jerrold. How did you come to find it? And are there any more? In regard to your question, I'm no expert with regard to BHP gun rugs, but, if it helps, my PY Hi-Power (ca. 1982) came with a red-lined gun rug. Merry Christmas.
Thanks, I have a couple of red lined rugs that I'm watching on the web at outlandish prices. Took me several years to get a decent and correct rug, instruction booklet and hanging tag for my unfired 1968 T-Series. I also have a new 1994 Capitan. My favorite shooter is an Argentine FM High Power that I bought new several years ago. I installed a ring hammer from Gunparts, removed the magazine safety and worked over the Hammer/sear. It isn't pretty but does a great job. I found the newest 1977 HP in a local ad bulletin. It had been passed down through several generations of family members.
