High Standard Model G-B - The Firearms Forum

MarkInTexas · 09-06-2010, 11:39 AM

I picked up a 1950 vintage High Standard Model G-B for a really good price at the gun show this weekend.
I'm looking for a firing pin, grips and another magazine or two.
Anyone have any suggestions?

I would try Numrich. Just go to Google and type in Numrich.

I checked with Numrich and their firing pins are "sold out."
My firing pin was missing completely...no pieces or anything, so I have no idea what it even looks like or diminsions. Brownell's lists one that is 1.775" OAL and chisel point but doesn't say it will fit the GB Model.

Always contact Jack First. No backorder. He either has it or he doesn't.

Strangely enough, you can order parts straight thru High Standard of Texas.

FP's, grips, & Mags.

Oh, yeah, read this.

You should also be able to use H-B & B model firing pins.

I got a couple of firing pins from Jack First (http://www.jackfirstgun.com/index.php) for $42.00. Thanks Shooter45!
I checked with High Standard in Houston. They wanted $60.00 for two firing pins plus another $10 to ship them the 300 miles from Houston to San Antonio. I would have done it if they were the only game in town, but it seemed a little ridiculous to me.

I got the grips from Vintage Gun Grips. I didn't even ask High Standard.

Cool

I've not had to order anything from anyone for mine...I'm lucky, it's a VERY precise pistol

Darn good snake-killer, too

Magazine adjustments

22 Long Rifle

All magazines are gauged to be under .360 wide. However, if you receive a magazine that is wider than .360., you can easily correct this with the use of a dial caliper and a pair of pliers or vise grips.
Magazine feeding is very sensitive to the particular ammunition that is being used. Due to the wide variance in ammunition specifications, the width of the magazines feed lips must be adjusted for the particular target ammunition to be used to obtain maximum reliability.
The basic dimensions should be .230 wide for the rear of the front lips and .185 wide for the front of the rear lips. The front and rear lips should also be kept parallel.
Magazines should always be kept clean and well oiled.

NOTE: 1. The .230 dimension is fairly constant for all ammunition. The .185 dimension should be increased if the bullets are feeding too low, and it should be decreased if the bullets are feeding too high. This adjustment can be accomplished with tools like needle nose pliers. You can also make your own tool with a piece of 1/4 in.1/2 in. flat stock by sawing a slot in the end. 2. Due to the overall length of some 22LR match ammunition, it will be impossible to get it to feed ten (10) rounds properly.

CAUTION: 1. The magazine lips are heat-treated and will break if they are bent too much at one time. 2. Magazine feed lips may drag on slide feed rail if decreased in width too much.

Contact us with any problems or concerns about adjusting your magazine or send it to us to adjust.

High Standard has designed a tool to adjust magazines, please call us.
