Hi, First of all sorry about my poor English, my name is Enrique Tsuchikame from Lima, Peru.
I own a FN Herstal BDA9 (Browning Hi Power BDA), I'm looking for some spare parts since long time ago that I can not get anywhere. I thought maybe somebody could tell me where I could find them. I´ve attached the parts diagram, the parts i´m looking for are #151, #152, #354 and #355.
Hope you can help me, thank you very much
The parts diagram you attached is hard to see and I can't really tell much. It's hard to read the numbers and if you try to enlarge the image it gets distorted.
The larger-caliber BDA offered by Browning and FN was really a SIG P-220, and was originally available in both .45 and 9mm. That gun has a different barrel design than the one shown in your diagram, above. (The barrel in your diagram shows locking lugs on the barrel, while the SIG barrel design locks into the rear of chamber area of the slide.) The grip design seems wrong, too.
I'm not sure the diagram you're using is correct (but I can't see it very well.)
There is also a Browning BDA in .380, but that is a totally different gun with a fixed barrel. Here's a link to the Numrich site, and if you open it you can click (at the top) to see diagrams of other guns, by manufacturer.
This diagram is for the gun that was originally designed and built by SIG and also offered by FN and Browning with their markings.
If we're talking about the same gun, you might check with SIG or a parts supplier in Peru to see if they can get SIG parts. (I think SIG built all of them, including the ones with Browning or FN markings on the frame.) I've only seen one Browning BDA in 9mm, but have seen and shot several in .45 ACP.
I don't know if Numrich will export the parts you need (if they have them), but they might. You can contact them by email. I doubt that FNH will have parts for this gun.
Thank you for your comment, I don´t know why the images size is reduce when is uploaded.
In the next link you can see the picture of the diagram and the pistol.
The pistol you have is one of several models of double action pistols that FN/Browning designed to supplement and replace the Hi Power. While they do have a following in the United States, none of them were really successful, in part because they were designed for high capacity magazines but were introduced just around 1994 when the law restricted them to 10 round magazines.
FN/Browning no longer offers parts support for any of these pistols, so you're rather limited as to how you can obtain parts.
Being that you are in Peru, eBay and Gun Broker are likely a no go for you.
The other two options that I can think of would be to buy another BDA9 to to use as a parts. Also, maybe a skilled gunsmith or machinist could fix a broken part or make you a new one.
Owners in the USA are in a similar situation. Parts for these pistols are very hard to come by regardless of where you live.
I found the full manual (in English, German, and Spanish) at page7b
It's the gun you showed us, and it looks as though you may have already found the same manual (and manual source) -- as the parts illustration is the same.
Browning/FN also did the BDM, which I though your gun might be a variant of, but its clearly not -- as it uses a different barrel design, and while generally similar, a lot of small differences everywhere (when you compare parts diagrams).
Getting gun parts from other countries can be a real challenge -- I've had that experience. Sometimes you have to pay duties on top of the parts cost and postage. Many parts vendors don't want to deal with import/export issues. A few of the military surplus vendors are set up to do it, but they probably don't have the parts you need.
Do look at eBay -- as a lot of the vendors there DO ship internationally. I've never done gun-parts through eBay, however, so don't know how good a source Ebay might be.
