  1. Final update - Success! I was finally able to get the brake off of the barrel, basically what happened is my grandfather tightened the screws so much a that the screws bit into the metal causing the hole in the barrel to slighty deform This was what I was catching so as soon as I removed and cleaned up the end I took a diamond dremel and slightly shaved down the deformed area so flush with the rest of the barrel It now slips on and off like a charm! So I finished cleaning up the brake (had to remove a ton of lead!) put it together and hopefully soon I'll take this down to the range Thanks for all the help!
  2. Pizza Bob I completly removed the screws and they do not appear to be damaged so I'm still unsure what is holding the break on the barrel. Possible that the build up is extream and I need some type of chemical or solvent, I've already poured a lot of Hoppe's bore cleaner and oiled the hell out of it. Is there some type of chemical 'bath' I can use to soak it like overnight that will eat all the caked on deposits but leave the bluing unharmed?
  3. Hello All, Update since last time, I bought the grips suggested and fit like a glove after drilling out the screw holes a little I'm trying to clean up the carbon build up and have made good progress in the barrel but running into issues with the muzzle break I removed the allen screws at 3 and 9 o'clock and the larger allen screw on the sight but having difficulty removing the break, it slides about a 1/4" before seemingly catches on something I'm unsure if there is some type of locking mechanism but I am unable to remove the muzzle break to clean the heavy carbon deposits Anyone have an idea why the break will not "break" free?
  4. Pizza Bob thank you so much for the infomation I have been searching the web for a while now on possibly doing it myself and recently found what I think to be the schematic, my concern is that when I go to actually break it down that something goes wrong which is why I wanted a Gunsmith in the wings so to speak I'm in the process of tracking down grips but the problem is most places I can find have no pictures of what they look like or list in a different sku from what is on the schematic, currently looking through: Brownells, Sarco, Inc., and Numrich Gun Parts Corp. Would Gun Scrubber harm the blue? Normally when you spray down the barrel wouldn't that cause splatter? Or will it be a simple matter of wiping the splatter off then oiling?
  5. From what my father tells me, who shot it with my grandfather, it is an amazingly accurate gun (one of the best of the era for target shooting) I've heard family stories that since this chambers .22LR that even out to 50 yards you can accurately hit dead center of a bullseye What helps are the adjustable weights forward of the trigger on the barrel that prevents the gun from rising after firing, so you can send round after round without the sights leaving the target
  6. I was hoping someone could recommend a professional Gunsmith who can handle my Hi-Standard Model 103 Supermatic Citation Back in the day my Grandfather really loved pistol shooting and bought this beauty right from the factory and took extensive care of it because I see very little wear and tear on the gun My father inherited it and has passed it to me after I got my PID, but as it hasn't been used in 20+ years I'm a little iffy on using it I'm kind of equating it to cleaning a car (bad example but still) it is a heck of a lot easier maintaining an already clean car after detailing then starting from ground up cleaning all the nooks and crannies What I'm hoping for is a really good Gunsmith to disassemble, clean, oil, check/replace springs and replace the grips (too small for my hands); basically get the gun into pristine shooting condition so going forward I can maintain it I'm willing to drive to the best so any suggestions? Also just to let you know the picture does it no justice
  7. Hi! Just recently got my PID and starting to get into personal target shooting, as opposed to renting at a range I've always had great times with my family going to gun ranges (favorite being Sunset Hill in PA) so figured next step would be to start shooting at indoor ranges closer to home more often Glad to be in a NJ forum for a newbie like me, forgive me for the stupid questions for a while and spamming the search function
