High Standard model 103 help
Anyone know if these guns were shipped as factory combinations? I do not see any info on them being shipped as such or at least the BBoGV does not say anything about combo pricing. I have one with a 5.50 bull barrel as well as a 6.25 tapered barrel but cannot find anything that states how the factory combos were shipped. It is 95% with original box.. Any help?? Thanks

Go to John Stimpson's High Standard site if none of our folks can help you.
Some were shipped with two barrels. Since the barrels were so easily removed and swapped out it would have been no big thing to acquire a second barrel though. Check the base of the barrels where they fit in the frame to see if their any markings or numbers.0 -

My uncle bought his 'Sport King' with two barrels back in the fifties. So I'm imagining they did sell them that way. 0 -
The 103 series Sharpshooter came with a 5.50" bull barrel. There were no options.
High Standard never made a 6.25" long pistol barrel. Standard barrel lengths were 4.50", 5.50", 6.75", 7.25". 8.00" and 10.00" The Dura-Matic had 4.50" and 6.50" barrels. You have either mis-measured or it is not an original High Standard barrel.
Two barrel combination sets were offered beginning in 1951 with the second generation pistols with removable barrels(lever name design series) and ended in 1959 less than a year before the transition to the 103 design series.0 -
My BBOGV 28th edition lists the factory combos. Says to add $200 for factory combination. 0 -

Your Blue Book of Gun Values indicates that the 103 series was offered as a two barrel combo? The original poster was asking about a 103 series gun which was described on a different forum as a Sharpshooter.
The current Blue Book of Gun Values does not list any 103 series combos.0
