Need takedown instructions for a High Standard Sport King

[Justin]

A guy I know has come into a High Standard Sport King pistol. It's quite old and as such has no documentation or instructions. I don't anything about High Standards, and would appreciate it if someone could provide a link or description of how to field-strip this particular model of pistol.

Much appreciated.

The name "Sport King" was used on several different High Standard's Could you post a picture for better identification?

Anyway, if it's a late model look at the front of the frame and you should see a botton/plunger sticking out under the barrel. If so, clear both the magazine and chamber. Then re-insert the magazine. Pull back the slide to latch it open.

"Bump" the front of the plunger against the edge of a workbench. Then push it inward while lifting the barrel straight up. It will come out of the frame.

While holding onto the slide, unlatch it after removing the magazine. Run it forward and off the frame.

Reassemble in reverse order.

If this doesn't make any sense it's because you have a different Sport King. In that case more information will be necessary to identify it.

"Bump" the front of the plunger against the edge of a workbench.

I have a small scratch on the trigger guard of my Trophy from doing that. A rubber mallet set me back about $10, and has turned out to be useful for any number of other tasks.

The best place I've found for High Standard questions is Jim Spacek's site: http://www.tm-techmark.com/jspacek.htm

Thanks guys. The pistol does indeed appear to have a button or plunger on the front of the frame. I'll talk with him and see if that works.
