Hi-Standard Model B
Posted: Sat Feb 09, 2008 7:34 pm
I have an old model B hi-Standard pistol. Where can I get a good schematic for this pistol? It's in fair shape, but at present it will not cycle without jamming. I have removed the firing pin and the large diameter that is struck by the hammer was swelled a little. I chucked it up in a drill and stoned the big end. This made it slide easily in the bore and stop hanging up. There was no return spring for the firing pin. Later models show a return spring, but this model may not have one. The firing pin was not retracting thus causing the gun to jam. I could push the pin reward with my finger and I could hand feed a round. When I fired the gun the pin would stay out and cause another jam. I know that I can get some parts from Brownell's, but without a schematic it is a guessing game on what to order. I think that a lot of the parts are inter-changable with the Military model, but Brownell's does not have a schematic for either model. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
