Jim's Browning '74C series 9mm

Has this thing been in this condition long?

Is it non functioning?

Can the slide rack?

I'd think you might be best off letting a gunsmith(even amateur) look it over. If it's been this way long, it might be stuck and some lub might loosen it. But it should be completely disassembled, cleaned, lubricated and then function checked.

Not sure really how long it's been like this.
But I do know it's been several years since it's been taken apart and cleaned.

We live in a very high humid area and I can imagine the inside possibly having rust.


There is a popular gun shop that I will take it to and see what they will charge to properly clean it.
