The Rimfire Report: How 3D Printing Saved My High Standard Flite King
Hello and welcome back to another edition of The Rimfire Report! This ongoing series is all about the rimfire firearm world and its various guns, gear, sports, ammunition, and trends. A couple months ago, you guys will remember that we took a look at the old school High Standard Flite King. In that article, we discovered a few things about my little pawnshop find including the fact that it may have actually been a mash-up of a High Standard Sport King frame with a Flite King barrel. During the course of my testing of the pistol, some of you will remember that the magazine’s follower humorously broke and ejected itself from the pistol en bloc clip style. My review of the pistol ended right then and there and for weeks I wasn’t able to find an affordable solution. Today we’ll discover the process I took with fellow TFB Writer Giorgio O, TFBTV Discord member/notorious firearms mangler Stubbs to return the Flite King’s magazine to service in the hopes that it may inspire some of you hesitant about 3D printing to take it up yourself.
The Rimfire Report: The High Standard Flite-King 22LR Pistol
Hello and welcome back to another edition of The Rimfire Report! This ongoing series is all about rimfire firearms, ammunition, sports, and accessories. A few days ago I was browsing around my local gun shop and came across what I recognized as somewhat of a rare find these days – a High Standard Flite-King. The High Standard Flite-King was a series of pistols (and shotguns) developed by High-Standard Manufacturing in the earlier half of the 20th century and the pistols would remain in production for quite some time before eventually being discontinued sometime between 1954 and 1967 for different models of the pistol. I knew from several conversations I’ve had over the years that these High Standard Flite-Kings or Sport Kings (we will get into nomenclature later) were very reliable and accurate pistols for their time and had phenomenal handling as well. So today on The Rimfire Report we will go over my experiences with the High Standard Flite-King that I purchased from my local gun store.
