I looked at a Colt 1903 .32 acp yesterday that was in great condition (not sure of the manufacture date).
I asked if I could try using some snap caps to check the action, function, etc and they got some out. I loaded three and worked the slide and they all ejected.
But, when I pulled the trigger, the snap caps would not eject because the extractor wouldn't drop enough to grab the rim.
I'm guessing it was a weak spring but they wouldn't disassemble the gun to check.
Any ideas on what was the cause? I've never handled one before.
They won't sell the gun now.
