Any High Standard gurus in the house?

[Ura-Ki]

I have been lucky in not having experienced any mag failures with OEM mags in ether of my H.K, knock on wood!

Keep us posted, curious to see if you get improvement with the mags and tool!

I have shot High Standards in competition for decades. Got my first HS about 1970.

There's a guy in Texas who was an original HS employee from the original plant in Connecticut/where ever. Chicopee Falls, etc.
He's got an expanding company with many small parts & much knowledge.
I have somehow lost track of his link, but he is reachable thru the HS section of the rimfire site.

22's are funny little things. If the gun was dry fired a bit, the edge of the chamber could be slightly peened out of round, just enough to slow down extraction and cause the next round not to feed properly. Hunt around for a 22 chamber iron, a good thing to have if you own a 22.
A weak or a too stiff recoil spring could cause any number of problems. You mentioned changing your springs.
Or it could be a combination of things, it's enough to make you pull your hair out.
Good luck

Whoa! I thought H-S 2.0 was toast. Maybe it was but is no longer?

Alan was involved with HS when they restarted in Houston. He was let go and started making HS style guns, parts and magazines at Interarms/OFM corp. supposedly his mags are decent and he will help you tune them if they don't work when you receive them. HS subsequently went belly up in Houston and relocated to Montana. Jim Grey the owner of HS in Houston and Montana just passed away a couple weeks ago. It's unknown what will be happening with the company! It's well worth it to buy original mags just to save some headache. They may still need to be tuned, the picture that someone posted up a while back of the tool to adjust the feed lips is handy as it has the two different dimensions profiled on the end of it that the front and rear lips should be set to. I have a couple hundred original mags so don't think i'll be needing any aftermarket ones anytime soon. The triple K mags for a period of time were not heat treated and I am not aware of anyway to identify them to that period. Generally if they have a bright lime green follower and no 5/10 roll marks on the mag case they are Triple K. Different style OEM mags had different ways to identify them. The type of spot weld holding the two case halves together is a way to tell OEM as well. There is a guy Wayne Davis who did an in depth on how to identify HS mags, good read it's on RFC. Stay away from the cadmium plated slant grip mags if you don't know how to fix them as they can swell from corrosion between the case halves from poor prep at the factory.
