Hi Standard question

[Fox Mike]

Recently I acquired a partial Hi Standard pistol...with all the little pieces missing. If anyone knows anything about how to remove the slide and or how to rebuild one I would appreciate the help to see what I need and how to put it all together. What you see is all I acquired.

I can't help with disassembly but that appears to be the HD-M model. I haven't mine apart for decades. Parts may be borderline unobtainium.

Might want to ask at RimfireCentral.com

I think Numrich might have a schematic.

trickiest of all HS's to disassemble but it can be done.

He's helped me with older HS parts I've needed.

Looks like for $800 all in you could build a working gun worth $500! Sorry couldn't resist.

I personally, have no desire, or plans, to even attempt a rebuild on the Hi Standard. If anyone would like to have it, PM me and perhaps we can work out something.

I'm confused First you ask for help and then you say you don't want to rebuild it.

It's not about the value, it's about the experience.

After reading the responses I decided that it probably wasn't worth the time and $$ involved to rebuild it.

Yeah, I once had a beautiful dan wesson .357 frame and stripped cylinder given to me. All small parts missing. I just passed it along for parts too as replacing everything didn't pencil out too well. It's just so interesting when someone gives you a gun!

I agree that if you source parts from retail places,, you can often figure out the replacement parts will cost more than a complete gun.

It's the same with most mechanical devices. Especially cars.

BUT,, if you have a source for parts,, and can get them cheaply enough,,, often you can return a firearm (or car) to very usable & serviceable condition.
