Hello..

I´m woundering if anyone knows what the two marks on the front of barrel is for ?????

I'm not sure what you're asking about. What do the marks look like? Are they the 2 pits on the sides, 10mm from the front? They're for the screws that hold the optional muzzle brake on.

Yes, they almost look like a side port compensator of some sort...at least at a quick glance.:)

Thanks...

I thinking Jack had the correct answer.. Now where can I find it? , and have anyone a picture of it ?


Thanks / Andreas

The first picture shows the muzzle brake attached. The screws on the side go in at an angle towards the front. I've got one, but I can't say I'm impressed by it, so I wouldn't worry about not having it. I don't know where you'd find one, but try ebay and gunparts. A set of those barrel weights went for $120 :o on ebay last winter.

The second picture goes to the right of the first in the manual. Those are 1957 prices. No, my parts aren't for sale.

Bye
Jack

Thanks again Jack...

I will check on ebay. But it´s just for fun.
I´m very happy with the High-Standard 22:a handgun, when we hade a compation last week I came second place. It´s hard to shoot 47-50 points on 10 ring shooting table, of 25 meters (27,34 yard)....

Can add that the compensator does work...makes a great gas condensor as well (expanding to fill the space, the gas temperature drops, and a lot of the particulate matter drops out). They will get filthy and need detaching and cleaning.

Detail cleaning one..and I just wasn't gtting the comensator clean no matter whant I did. Would guess the owner had never taken it off in all the years and thousands of rounds he fired.

Eventually just heated it...tappped it on the work bench top...and a washer of lead fell out. All those rounds, adding just a few lead fragements at a time over the years, had deposited a 1/8" thick layer at the front.

Which kind of expalins whey it's detachable...you got to keep it clean.

BTW: fully set up, compensator / weights attached, and perhaps a set of over sized custom grips, they mostly got the nick-name "space gun" or "ray gun" (and they were conteporary with "Buck Rodgers" so that got used as well).

The weights do have a tuning effect...it does make a difference in grouping where you clamp them on the barrel. Can think of them as an early tuner...and people would move them arround to try to find the "sweet spot".

Aaah, the days of my youth!

The Hi Standard Mod 102 with the compensated 10 1/4" bbl and sliding barrel weights was my first competition handgun. Had a set of Herrett grips made for it. The former owner had pumped around 100K rounds through it before coming into my possession and then another 200K or so went through it. Replaced sear was the only repair needed. The extractor got lost when cleaning at some point, but the blowback action worked just fine without it. That muzzle comp did become fouled fairly often. Got tired of digging the lead out of it, so took it off, cleaned it and put it away until selling the pistol years later. Worked just fine without it.

Bought the Olympic ISU setup for it to shoot the .22 Short round and fired the ISU competition course very successfully for several years.

Sold the whole kit and kaboodle in the early '70's for $250 at a gun show in Tulsa. Wonder what the package would be worth today? :(
