High Standard ARs? > AR Discussions

Posted: 6/6/2005 5:30:50 AM EDT

Went to the Nashville gun show this weekend and saw a AR carbine made by High Standard. 16" 1/9 (bbl wasn't pencil thin nor heavy), detachable carrying handle, CAR15 collaspable stock and baynote lug. Didn't look close to see if the FH was a A1 or A2 birdcage. Serial number was just over 00050. Looked good overall and cost under $900. Does anyone know what barrel they're using (chromed lined or not)?

Never heard of High Standard making ARs. I suspect they are assembling from other mfg parts.
Might be good, but i'd say it's a crap shoot until you get specs and reviews. $900 seems high for a company known primarily for match pistols and 1911s and new to ARs, though.

honestly, look elsewhere....High Standard isn't the old High Standard and even then High Standard didn't really have all that High of Standards......

you are correct, the OLD high Standard is not the New High Standard.

I Don't know about Ar's, but the quality of the OLD High Standard Semi Auto 22's were TOP NOTCH

Many were. Many were also very problematic. It was catch as catch can. I always thought they were very pretty but I always had better luck with the Woodsman.

Wow, I was raised by a fellow who shot matches with High Standard Victors.He had 3 of them.

All of them ran like tops.....1 of which still does as I shoot it on a regular basis...... DID I mention it shoots 1 hole groups?

Victors are gorgeous, my late best friend had a Victor and it was sweet, that's for sure. I'm glad yours are top notch also!!! Keep 'em fresh, the "new" H.S. is definitely NOT up to par. Enjoy those classics!!!!
