My High Standard .36

 

[Michigan Mike]

Sorry about the crappy picture quality. It's a nice one...never shot. Bought new by my father. I believe in the 70s.

My gun photos look like the After a year on meth... prom queen photo antidrug ads.







(I like to play rescue on gun shop/pawn shop orphans if the price is right. And take them to the mountain for plinking.)

So, on the FIE Remmie, date code AD is 1978, right? That IS a purple frame...you may have a rare custom piece from Prince's personal collection!

I really like the G&G guns. Yours is correct in .36 but I don't like the High Standard blond wood. Other than the added HS logo, they are correct. IIRC, since they were assembled in the US from parts, and they do not have the Italian proofs and date of manufacture code.

Since steel was scarce in the Confederacy, G&G produced ~3600+ guns in .36 with brass frames. The originals had cylinders made of heated twisted iron, and the originals will show the twist lines.

Expat Alaska, while I know you don't like "billboards," keep in mind it could be worse .....


They could be neon signs....

Yeah, but the end cost would be higher.

I don't like the blonde wood either but it is a well made quality pistol.

I love these! They're just out of my price range right now.

The last pistol I just acquired has some light rust in the cylinder both outside and inside. Any tips to remove it? It's not a rare gun. It's more like a biker chick than a prom queen. It's going to get used and abused a bit but I want to keep it reliable and ready.

Ultra fine steel wool and gun oil. Rub lightly.

Did the stainless ones come polished like that? Very nice collection by the way.

I take it the small world comment was meant for Kaeto.

Thanks, and yes that's how the guns came from Uberti. Very low maintenance.

Turns out that he lives just south of me.

Sometime this summer we ought to get together and go shooting.
