  thanks John, I bought this as a 'cigar box special', $15 worth of parts and 1 repair and it's shooting again.

  You done good! A lot of the old model B High Standards, and similar models from the 30's & 40's. Are worked on by folks who don't know what they are doing. They disassemble them partially. Then can't get the slide off, or back together working again.
