Been There Done That
Nothing fancy, but treated myself to a belgian FN Hi-Power with WaA103 markings (made in '41) and tangent sight.
I'm still looking for an original Inglis Hi-Power with detachable shoulder stock, but can't for the life of me seem to find one in good shape and reasonably priced.
I sort of remember hearing about that although the grenades I was given came with tape on them. I believe it's more of an issue with grenade turn in. I guess some people have grenades that are just wrapped in so much tape it's hard to tell where the pin is.
Here's actually an article about it:

I'll look into the issue, though and let you know.

Thanks, It's M44 with heavy side rail scope mount, turned bolt, POSP 8 scope. I did not make these modification. Intra-Ordnance company did, I bought this rifle like that in 2003 or 04.
The only thing I added was removable muzzle break.
It's a very accurate rifle. a little on a heavy side. I'll post a better pic of it one of these days.
ohhh now i see it....still....if you need to pop that thing in a room quickly...that tape will take 1 second longer.
grenades are safe enough....the pin is locked up, and even if it gets unlocked it's hard to pull out. In the IDF we get yelled at if we tape our rimonim.
oh and sorry, i didn't see someone already asked you about the pin.
Is the Adams Arms gas piston kit really worth the $500?
