I have a chance to pick the one pictured up. They say it's been apart for quite some time but they have the parts. They claim the gun is jammed/won't fire. I have not handle the gun and know nothing about barrel condition or if all of the parts are even there.
I'm curious as to how much to offer. I've searched gun broker and everything on there was operational and the lowest price was around $400. Only pic I have from seller. Attached File |
| You might check on google, because I'm going from memory; but I think there is something about those guns that if you don't disassemble in the proper order the slide will jam up and cannot be removed without destroying it or some other major component(s). If I'm right about this, that may be the situation with this gun. |

I have a couple of Sport Kings and have a soft spot for HS .22's.Â
With that said no grips, in the shape it is imho $400 is a bit too optimistic, $300 is a little more realistic given you'll be spending another $80 for a set of grips and a magazine. ETAÂ I just saw your post on the $100 price I'd jump on that. |

My worry is that they did this and the gun is taken down as far as it is to try and figure out what was wrong and how to fix it. |

I have a model H-D Military. In 1985 I sent it to an old guy in CT in that retired from High Standard. He replaced some springs. He mentioned that parts were getting scarce 37 years ago.
Without seeing the thing work and no grips it's almost a parts gun. $50 would be a stretch. |

I looked into it and you are correct. If the the person has no clue of how to take it apart and pulls the take down lever out, the insides come apart and lock the gun up solid. The only solution to the problem is to mill the top of the slide to remove the objects to get the slide off. Then you have to weld a new piece of steel in and finish it off. Way too much time and effort if that's the problem. My worry is that they did this and the gun is taken down as far as it is to try and figure out what was wrong and how to fix it. |
