Hi Standard Serial Number

what is the date of manufacture of a High Standard Sentinel r 103 22 cal pistol

The High Standard Supermatic pistols were amongst the best American made.22. This pistol has the 7¼” inch fluted barrel and is serial number #2156898. Hi Standard serial numbers by Hi Standard location by saltydog452 on, 8:01 am I know this information is a available somewhere but I have yet been able to find it. The High Standard Collectors' Association was founded in 1991 to promote friendship and communication among the those interested in the collection, research, preservation and use of High Standard firearms, memorabilia and accessories. We include the Fiala, Hartford Arms and Schall firearms as part of our group.

I have come into possession of a High Standard HD Military model serial number157XXX. The serial number is in the range of an early post war gun so it is not likely that it is the model made for military training which would be marked 'U.S.A. MODEL HD' There were no government contracts for the HD- Military model. High Standard made.

Looks like a pretty good condition gun for something made about
1961 doesn't it? That is probably pretty close to the year of
manufacture.
DevilsAdvocate: That is sure one nice clean looking gun dose not look like it has been abused or seen much use. I am sure you will put it to good use.

Sorry, no clue other than this quote below from my research
into it. From that above number, well over 3 million I would
hazard a guess that it came quite some time after 67.
Serial numbers began appearing on the High Standard shotguns during
mid to late 1967.

You might also get a clue by checking the manuals at
one of these sites:
http://www.histandard.info/manuals/hmodel10/
http://www.histandard.info/manuals/
Also the model itself might tell you something
along with these manuals and their model number,
like for example the K120 was a later subcontracted
version of the HS made K1200.

My 1st gun was a Sears 16 Ga. pump. My now deceased brother bought it for me when I was 15 years old.
Through a bit of research I determined that it was a High Standard.
Even though it only had 1 action bar, it was by far the slickest pump gun I have ever owned. It would indeed open by gravity alone when the bolt release was pushed.
I sold in in the '80s when I was hard up for $$$.
I wish I hadn't sold it.

I don't know how important having dual action bars is. I only know
of one person who ever had trouble breaking action bars on a
single action bar gun. That was on Ithaca model 37s. This guy who
was sort of an 800 pound gorilla broke action bars on his two
model 37s regularly shooting skeet. One was a 12 and the other
was a 20. He quit using them because of this action bar breakage.
I assume others did break because most guns went to dual bars,
but as I said this one is the only one I ever heard of.
On dual action bars, I know the Ithaca model 51 automatic broke them
pretty regular, and none are available now, all the spares having
been used up. Break one now and you have a welding job before
you are shooting again. Maybe action bars breaking is an Ithaca
thing.
It looks like you could pretty easily make some of the action bars
on these high standards if you had to.

Hi guys, new to the forum. I have an old High Standard model 880 in good shape I'd like to part with. I have not been able to ind a date on it but the serial is 3137xxx. It is just like this one:
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=244205&start=20
I was wondering if anyone had heard of the HS model 880 or has any info?
I have looked and looked and I can't find a manual or website with Model 880 information.

Use the search section above and search for John Stimpson Jr. If you have an accurate serial number and follow the instructions on his site you can have all the information you want.
I own a 12ga Supermatic Trap........ basically an 1100 Rem in looks. I have replaced a few parts that indicated a little wear but the gun functions perfectly and works just fine for trap. It is energetic on the extraction though and if you use the inexpensive shells or a hot reload the extractor will on occassion pull through the rim. The gas system is adjustable though and if you adjust it for the load you are shooting there are no problems.......... Larry

Thanks, although searchng 'John Stimpson Jr' didn't come up with anything of value. It good to know parts are still available if needed. The action on this shotgun is smooth like butter, and that old manual is right, if I hold it muzzle up the pump slides down. One question though, the front bead post is drilled through the barrel wall and into the bore, 1/16th ti 1/8 on an inch. It looks from the factory that way. It seems like I couldn't fire slugs through it like that. I can't tell what the choke is on it.
What are the opinions?
Hold on, I figured out I need to search GOOGLE, not shotgunworld.com.
I still don't see a Model 880 listed. Someone said in the 70's High Standard was purchased by another owner and the new owner made alot of changes.
EDIT : I found a little info:
The Models 880 were specially branded guns made for White Auto Stores in the early 1970's
It is indeed a version of the K-121 Flite King.
