Argentina had a FN licensed plant to make their FN-FALs and other toys. 0 -
The FM was made in Argentina under license from Browning. It IS a Hi Power, not a clone. 0 -

Very few folks would actually accept that it's a HP, rather then a clone. Note the price the OP is getting it for. Nowadays a original Belgian HP, would likely sell for at least 3 times that.0 -

Just look at what Argentine "Colt" 1911s are going for:

And they were just made under license, just like that FM Hi Power.
FM licensed Hi Power prices will take off eventually, just like the Argentine licensed Colts did. I remember when they were $200.00 too.0 -
Good gun, buy it. 0 -

Argnetina was a very martial Country for a long time, they got licenses and made some very good quality firearms for their use. That Hi-Power is a great gun for the $$.
I have an FEG PPK clone, that gun I actually liked better than the real Walther PPK/s that I had (and sold).0 -

It's a lot better than the FEG [;)] The parts will interchange with a Browning [^] I had one and swapped some [:)]
Sold mine for $400 a few years ago.0 -

Are you joking?
Forget the gun, 6 boxes of 9mm luger ammo alone are worth at least $75, and possibly quite a bit more in this climate depending on what make they are.
The MAGAZINE for this Hi-Power alone is probably worth $25.
Add that up and for $100 the gun is practically FREE.
IMO, this gun is better than the FEG, but even if it isn't, its still a steal at $200, and if you have the money and even the slightest interest, I'd suggest taking advantage of it. . .NOW.0
