Nice.
I was expecting a picture of the Olympic version of the Whitney Wolverine when I opened this thread. |

Don't have any experience with the "space gun" but we had a bunch of these old High Standards in our armory for handgun training back in the day and they were amazing shooters.

Bluebook says they were made from 1960-63.
98% = $625, add $200 for 10" bbl, add $50 for each weight & $90 for muzzle brake. So for your gun, it might be worth a bit over $1,000. Not a bad heirloom, IMO.

Yes it is, but as you can imagine I don't plan on letting it go ever. Along with the AMT .22WMR long barrel he also left.

My Great uncle had one that looked just like that only with what I believe was a 7 inch barrel. Unbelievable shooter. I put many a pop can out of it's misery back in the day with it. Great find.

Yes I believe there was a 6.xx barrel, a 8.xx barrel, and then the 10in barrel.

Why does it have wings? Those are muzzle weights to customize the balance and increase accuracy by playing with the harmonics of the barrel. |

very nice those were state of the art bullseye guns in the 1950's and 60's and would still shoot with the best of them today- I would suggest finding and shooting a bullseye pistol league with it in your grandfather's memory.

Yeah I have been thinking about that. I have only really been shooting guns for about a year now but my grandfather showed me the ropes when I was younger as he was a boyscout instructor. So once the snow melts I am going to be building a range on his property and get some practice in. He was nice enough to leave behind about 9 or 10 guns that I have and about 5 more my uncle has. The tec-9 he left behind is pretty cool however not being rimfire I leave that out.

I now see what you are referring to with the front sight assembly. |

I will have to look into that one guys, as I said I don't know much about them. Working on figuring it all out. Finally got the barrel off it.

I'm thinking the wing-looking things simply add weight to the muzzle area to help reduce flip when shot, IMO. You have to remember that the weights are an optional item, so there were some guns that got sold w/o the weights & needed the "wings".
