I joined this forum yesterday because of my interest in the Standard Arms rifles. My paternal grandfather bought a Model G years ago and it passed to me about 12 years ago. Unfortunately, it was lost in a home burglary about 9 years ago. Any help in locating a Standard Arms Model G in .30 Rem to replace the one that was stolen would be greatly appreciated. Looking forward to being a contributing member of this forum. I do have several boxes, maybe 100 rds of original .30 Rem ammo plus 100 new case I bought, maybe from MidwayUSA awhile back.

I'll sure keep an eye out for another one for you. I've got one, but it doesn't shoot. They are very interesting guns.

Hey, thanks. I never shot it, but watched my older brother shoot it back in the early '50s.

thunderdawg, Welcome to the forum, I lived in Prescott and P.V. for 17 years after I attended the gunsmithing program at Yavapai College over 20 years ago. I have been keeping an eye out for one myself, but I am looking for a beaten and abused one to bring back, so if I locate a presentable one out here in .30 I will pass the info on. I know where a nice .35 is, but not a .30. The nice part about out here is that there is a lot more selection than back in that part of AZ, so I will try to help you out. I don't get much chance to post much on the forum, so if you try to get a hold of me, please be patient for me to reply. I cringe when I think how ridiculously cheap the Standards were back in the 80's when I lived on the East coast, nobody wanted them and I remember I almost bought one for $50.00 at a gun shop in Stoneham, MA., but the guy behind the counter said "don't waste your money". Have a great time on the forum.
Mark
PS: Hadrada, how bad is the Standard you have? (the evil squirrels are at it again and I have to ask)
