Just couldnt help myself as I have almost lost count of how many of these I have . Something about the Colt Blue and the quality back then . But these guns are always a project that is part of the fun that attracts me I think .
This example was no different . The sight needed the pin that holds the detent screw and spring fixed and the trigger felt just a little to good .
In previous experience this has always led to the need for parts to be replaced but I was willing to shoot it first to see how it functioned before I ripped into it as I bought it from a friend and he said the gun was perfect .
It shot very well as I wound 100 rounds into a baseball size hole at 25 yrds problem was the hammer followed 3x in that 100 rounds .
Back to the basement for repair As I figured it had the stock parts but the hammer hooks had been taken below 18 Lucky I had a fresh Gold Cup hammer in the bubble pack and a cylinder and slide sear and disconnect along with a Brownells light pull spring .
Set it up at 3.2 lbs and after 200 rds of target ammo all is well rest of gun was spot on and it shoots like all the rest paid $700 thought it was a fair deal
