You really do like your High Standards. Impressive collection.

Really nice grouping!

A US Property is high on the list...

Thanks. Still have a lot of models to pick up, but its a pretty good start. I've got a Model C coming in soon. Also working on some Supermatics in different series and some Olympics.

The one that I would really like to find is the USA HD MS. The suppressed model made for the OSS and CIA. There are only a few transferables in the NFA registry.

This is probably not the right place to ask but... I would like to get a threaded barrel for my sport king to eventually add a suppresor - anyone ever seen one or know if an existing barrel could have threads added?

I think after seeing those pictures i'm going to have to go find a Hi-Standard now

Look at my 3rd picture above. One of the Duramatics has a threaded barrel. This was a custom thread. I bought it that way. No one that I know of is selling these.

My dad had one he carried while working as a courier on the Manhattan Project during WWII. (He had noooo idea wtf was gong on...). Very cool piece.

But whatever you do, DON'T dry fire it without a snap cap.

Don't ask me how I know...

Simpsons LTD has a boat load of High Standards.

Another High Standard pistol joins the collection. A Model C made in 1939.

This gun came from a dealer in North Pole Alaska. I would love to know the history of how it founds it's way from Connecticut in 1939 to Alaska in 2015.

Looks to be in superb shape...
What do you shoot in Alaska with .22 Short?
maybe that's why it's so nice

I guess you could shoot Alaskan Black Flies. A .22 Short probably has enough muzzle energy to take one down.

somd_mustangs, here's something US marked! An early 60's vintage Tournament. Will have to add a US marked HD to the search list.

Just picked up a Lever Name Series Supermatic. Made in 1952.

todbiker · Mar 4, 2015

The first .22 cal pistol I ever shot was my dad's Duramatic with the same barrel length as the one on the far left in the OP's photo.

Only had 1 mag for it, but I managed to put quite a few boxes through it.

That's a cool collection OP. :thumbsup:

Just added another High Standard .22 to the collection. A Letter Model E. Top of the line model in that series. Early model with the Type I-B take down. Made in 1938. It's a heavy gun and weighs a couple ounces more than an unloaded USGI 1911A1.
