When my Dad passed away my Mom gave me his High Standard Sentinel Mk IV .22 Magnum. It had a 2” barrel and someone obviously dry fired the heck out of it and the cylinder was all chipped up. My Dad had gotten it ‘used’.
The funny thing about me receiving this gun was my Mom called me and asked “Which one of you Dad’s guns would you like to have?”
I told her I wanted the S&W K22 with an 8 3/8” barrel. For some reason she thought I wanted the High Standard and she gave the K22 to a friend of my Dad’s.
Oh well…
Anyway, I bought a cylinder for it and a 4” barrel. I got real lucky with the timing of the cylinder. I also bought the used grips that are on it now.
My sister needed a gun for HD. She has arthritis in her hands and can’t manipulate a semiauto so I gave her the High Standard until we can get her something with a bit more juice.
Please don’t turn this thread into a discussion of .22 Magnum as a defensive weapon.
Besides, she never received anything that belonged to Dad so I gave her the High Std.
Cartridge cases are a bit sticky in the chambers so I have the gun now to polish the chambers for her. I took these photos of it and the original barrel.
