my uncle is giving me a hi-standard model h-d military gun but he said he used some old ammo that my grandpa had and it did not cycle or feed correctly. Then, he took it apart to try to figure it out the problem and got it all jammed up. If you look at the parts list, he said he got the Trigger Plunger (part 65) jammed in the Frame (part 10AH). I'll find out more when I get it, but has that happen to anyone else or something similar
 
When I was in high school, long before the internet and wealth of digital information available, I had a fascination with guns, handguns were my undoing...I could take them apart very well it was the re- assembly that always got me.
Lucky for me we had a gunshop, the owner would see me walk in with a shoe box and knew I had taken something apart and now it wouldn't work.
He would show me how to put it together so I had no leftover parts and it worked correctly again....He smiled but never laughed at me, never charged me a dime for his time, I wish more gun shops like that were still around....nothing but big box retailers , those salespersons don't know your name and don't really care to help you with a problem.
Probably everybody who has taken apart a gun with more than two moving parts has had trouble getting them back together....
J.B. Wood has written a series of books on this subject, It's Gun Digest Book of Firearms Assembly/Disassembly part 1 Automatic Pistols has your's on page 314, complete with text and photo's. I'm going to use this book it to install a Wolff Service Spring Kit, recoil springs and three others , in a Walther P-38.
Neat book to have around....Gary
 
The GUN DIGEST books are invaluable, but J.B. Wood isn't the person responsible for the latest one for semi-autos. That's the 4th Edition, by Kevin Muramatu.

The 2nd Edition, which was by J.B. Wood was invaluable to me. The newers versions (editions) are very similar, but just has more, newer guns. (The 2nd edition, for example, didn't have the SIG P226, or 220; the newer ones do.)

Amazon has them for around $30 down, depending on how new you want one. It's money well spent. (The older versions are cheaper, but don't have much about the newer polymer guns like the M&P Pro. None of them have much about the latest CZs, but do address the Tanfoglio versions of the guns and they're so similar it shouldn't be a problem.

Had same thing happen to me several years ago. Fooled around for hours
with Popsicle sticks and wooden meat scours, finally worried it out. When you get it don't use any metal tools to pry on it, use wood.

IIRC, that trigger spring and plunger goes into a blind hole in the frame. If the plunger is really stuck and there is not enough protruding to grab with pliers, there is no way to get it out without damage to the frame. Disassembling those old High Standards should be limited to field stripping and that only by following the instructions exactly.
