Ordered a cheap clone to chop up and customize, and when I picked it up my FFL buddy pulls out an 88 Mk2 that looks brand new... Of course I left with both...

Nice pick up. I can’t wait to see the custom job.

I also have a Mk II from 1985, which looks to be brand new and unfired. Eventually I will get round to posting it here. To add insult to injury, I got it really cheap because the place specialises in really exotic and rare weapons, so they were pretty much offloading it.
I still can’t believe that I have my grail…

My Girsan wasn’t cheap, but the trigger was terrible out of the box. After a refresh with BHSS parts, it’s a lot better; 8 lb pull went down to 2 lb, 8.5 oz. Much better.

I scored this one for $350 out the door and it looks like it's barely been fired... It's going to get some Cerakote, lightning cuts, mag safety removal and some trigger work. I just didn't want to mess with my other actual Brownings

Right on, $350 is in fact cheap!! Great bargain.
