Good evening, friends! I am really enjoying your Forums (Fora??),
and hope this post will reach someone that help me with a sticky problem:
I recently obtained a Colt MkIV Series '80 .45ACP, beautifully accursed by
those outstanding gunsmiths in Louisiana! Now, I am learning how to
re-assemble a Series '80, with all its headaches?
Two questions:
#1. Has anyone ever simplified instructions to re-assemble the
more more complicated Sear and Disconnector parts, the design of which
seems to be well intended?
#2. Mine came to me without the Series '80 Firing Pin Safety Plunger, and
it's spring, and I can't find anywhere I can buy a couple of each (one to install,
one because it looks easy to loose!). All the normal list these parts as "Sold Out".
Many thanx, if anyone has some advice - some parts!
p.s. After a very long wait, I have recently received my new LabRadar.
Beautiful workmanship, and exciting to read about! Hopefully, I'll begin
shaking it down tomorrow, and will share my results with you folks!
