So my friend over at Lagiappe's Lair noted on a previous post the Smith and Wesson Model 76 sub-machine gun. He nailed it. How this guy seems to know everything about anything that goes bang mystifies me. Good guy and a class act. Can't wait to get up there again and stretch some long guns out with him.
So here is the High Standard 1200. It was pretty useless on the range as the trigger was simply locked up and would not fire.
So first things first.
Let's see what is under the hood.
Well, guess what? Time for a bath!
Replace the magazine spring as a rule as the new owner could not tell me if it was stored loaded and ta-da!
Functional checks passed!
The High Standard was pretty much the equivalent of the Winchester Defender back in the day. Cheap, reliable and easy to operate. I think however that more people will be interested in the High Standard than my Defender years from now.
Can't wait to live fire Sunday!
Cool, I'm not the only one who uses azoom's with masking tape to check firing pin function...

Dann, got burned once with a "click no bang" after I worked on one. Never again!
DeleteI haven't seen one of those in years!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteNFO- Stuff just seems to show up here. I am glad for that but I would go broke if I did it for a living! Cool Boomstick.
DeleteSee, now I would never have recognized that shotgun. You sell your own expertise short.
ReplyDeleteThanks Murph, we will shoot it Sunday and give it back to the owner. Damn it! I would love to keep it.
DeleteHigh Standard is still there, although they probably just sold the name to a new investment group. I actually own a High Standard M-4gery.
ReplyDeleteI don't see any shotguns, but they still have their .22LR pistols and now have 1911s in .22 and God's Own Caliber.
GB- Really! Good news. Thanks for that.
