High Standard Help

AFTER NOT SHOOTING BULLSEYE FOR A SOLID 20+ YEARS I JUST JOINED A CLUB TO START SHOOTING IN JANUARY ON THE POSTAL LEAGUE. BOUGHT A HIGH STANDARD VICTOR FROM A CLUB MEMBER AND WAS JUST CURIOUS AS TO WHAT YEAR IT IS. SERIAL NUMBER IS SH27793. ANOTHER QUESTION IS BEST PLACE TO GET SOME EXTRA MAGAZINES AND BARREL WEIGHTS. ANY HELP WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.

Is it a Hamden or a New Hartford?

High Standard, Montana

E HARTFORD, CONN U.S.A.

From this link, it was built in 1983

High Standard of Montana for parts. If you need a replacement Barrel, the LSP barrels are the way to go.

THANK YOU ALL FOR THE INFORMATION. FROM THAT AWESOME CHART IT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS MADE IN 1982 THE SAME YEAR I GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL.   I JUST FINISHED DISASSEMBLY AND CLEANING AND FROM THE AMOUNT OF WEAR, THIS GUN SPENT MANY YEARS IN A SAFE OR ON THE SHELF. I WOULD SAY IT MAY NOT HAVE OVER A COUPLE THOUSAND ROUNDS THROUGH IT.

Get new recoil spring and some spare slide lock springs. They can get kinked easily and they’re tiny, they disappear quickly in the dust bunnies and dead rolly polly pill bugs, carpet, etc.

Thanks for the heads up. Still looking for place to get parts and some extra magazines.

I agree with purchasing from High Standard of Montana. He serviced my Citation Trophy and supplied High quality magazines. Bob's number 406-590-0351

Several posters have supplied that information.
Otherwise, use EBay

Wolff (Gunsprings.com) sells service packs for HS pistols.  Every spring you need to replace and then some you don't (like the barrel stud plunger you don't have on a SH model)

I haven't shot any magazines but old originals from CT.  I have heard the ones from InterarmsTX and High Standard in MT are good but may need minor adjustment.  Stay away from the Triple-K mags.  They may adjust to be useful, but they don't stay that way long.  Stay away from:  "Factory" magazines with a fluorescent lime green follower, magazines without 5 & 10 stamped on the side behind the loading button groove.

Who has thoughts and information about replacing the old school monster Ultra Dot mounted on a full length Weaver rail with a new Holosun 507-C version??

I would recommend finding someone with a reflex site and trying it to see how quickly you can pickup the dot for yourself  on their gun before buying one.
I didn't have enough wrist flexibility from either wrist to make it work quick enough, so I stayed with a tube type.  My brother n law likes it.

I prefer mine with a 1" UD set where it balances best for me. Had a 30mm Matchdot on it but prefer the smaller tube. Tried the 3moa Vortex Venom but picking up the dot during sustained fire was a challenge. We have a guy who shoots a Victor/Venom combo with the Venom back edge at the breechface.

You might also try https://interarmstx.com/shop/ for parts.  Not the most friendly website to work with, but lots of HS parts.

If you order the Wolff HS spring kit, the sear spring they include is for the NON adjustable trigger weight models.  Not the correct sear spring for your Victor with adjustable trigger weight.  I have heard that Wolff has the correct sear spring, but you have to call and ask for it.  I have not confirmed that.

Stay Safe,

Tom
