Inglis Hi Power Stock

Thank you. Yes I know mounting a fake makes it a NFA weapon. That's why i'm so concerned. I asked the same question on another forum and a guy that goes by gp35fn which made me think he likes Hi Powers said he had 3 originals and 1 fake and he said it was the real thing but who knows. He might just be a bored teenage kid. I'm still thinking about but thank you very much for taking the time to answer. I appreciate it.
Yeah looks way to clean.
On a side note ithat was ruled a couple years back with the broom handle Mausers that even mounting a repro stock was legal and not a NFA item. Don't know if that works with high powers too.

The milling on the inside of the holster looks correct--that's usually where the Chinese fakes fail. The cartouche looks good as well--just hard to pick up in the pics. There's one other thing that looks right but I don't want to disclose it on a public forum for fear a faker will catch on. I have two original holsters--one 44 and one 45. The one you show is very, very clean but many of those were actually scrapped and used for firewood postwar--so few really got issued and used.
That being said, get the seller to provide you with authentication--protects you w/ BATF. And for the Inglis Hi Powers, yes, you must still have an original stock, not a repro, by the last ATF letter ruling I read. Oh, and the pistol itself needs to fall into the correct serial number range to be mated with the stock.

I don't know what the correct serial number range should be but the number is 4CH6167.
SO how does one date and verify the stock.
The whole ATF SBR thing is crazy certainly in regard to these type items, IMHO.
In fact in general.

I'm sure I have no idea. I would think since the stocks don't have serial numbers if this is one that would have had a stock and the stock is original your good. I don't understand why a Broomhandle is fine with a fake stock but a Ingles isn't. Your government at work I guess.
The serial number you relayed is good to go in terms of mounting that pistol to an original stock.
Thank you Sir.
