Hey Rodent, have you made any progress on getting your Colt running?

She was standing in the kitchen, preparing our usual soft-boiled eggs and toast for breakfast, wearing only The 'T' shirt that she normally slept in. As I walked in, almost awake, she turned to me and said softly, "You've got to make love to me this very moment!" My eyes lit up and I thought, "I am either still dreaming or this is going to be my lucky day!" Not wanting to lose the moment, I embraced her and then Gave it my all; right there on the kitchen table. Afterwards she said, "Thanks," and returned to the stove, her T-shirt still around her neck. Happy, but a little puzzled, I asked, "What was that all about?" She explained, "The egg timer's broken."

Oh my, that looks good.

Powder! I have had 8 lbs of H-335 on back order since January....... It's in and will be shipped soon!!!! ;D

That got it Tom. Sweet set-up and what a fine looking rifle! And a nice hat..... :thumb:

Hey Tom, Here is what I do when taking pics: Set your camera to the highest resolution when taking pictures If you have picture editing software on your PC or phone, crop or edit your pics as desired Resize your pics down to around 1500x1100 Upload to your picture hosting site of choice Post the link to your picture here on Tac22 If you can't edit pics on your computer, most of the hosting sites have edit functions after you upload a picture. FYI, your last pic has a resolution of 160 x 106, which is why it is small. 1500 x 1100 works better, and will display in a large format when viewed on the forum. The numbers (1500 x 1100 or 160 x 106) are the number of pixels/inch. I am sure that there are better ways to do it, this way works for me. TM

Welcome, thanks for sharing your project! Very fine job!!

Bill Springfield in Colorado Springs did mine, a well spent $45. I tried different springs in mine first, and while it had a real nice pull, it also went full auto. Send Bill an e-mail to get his current pricing, http://www.triggerwork.net/. I pulled the trigger pack out & sent it to Bill, he does the return shipping, I think it took 1.5 weeks start to finish.

Have to renew in Ohio, law changed and it is every 5 years now. Since I maintain my instructor credentials, I do not have to re-certify.

I just got two Federal 325 packs from Natchez. Good price & no hazmat.

Several ways to post pictures, down under where you post are the image restrictions and Browse button to find a pic on your computer. If you get the "image too large" message, you will need to use a photo editor to reduce the resolution of the picture. Or, you can upload your pictures to a free hosting site like photobucket or tiny pic, and once your pictures are uploaded the site will provide you with code to paste in your posts here to make the pictures show up here. Again, size matters, pics must be within spec.

Greetings to another Colt owner! :thumb:

Hey Rodent, took mine all apart, here is a picture of the bolt, or slide. Make sure your extractor is in the correct position, it should easily move outward in order to pass over the cartridge rim, and the hook should be sharp. If the hook is not sharp it will not pull the brass out of the chamber. It is spring loaded, so make sure your spring is functional and intact. The ejector is one non-moving part, sits on the two pins, insure it is not bent. Other than that, hard to say with out some pics. I have disassembled my bolt or slide several times, and it was full of sludgy gunk that given time will fossilize into a granite-like material.... Good Luck! TM

THIS is the one I want, never in stock......

Sweet! I read that you should also copy the pics to a cd or dvd, and store that off site.

Weird problem, I will try to get a close-up pic of mine & post, maybe you can spot a difference between yours & mine. BulletCushion posted some good info too, check that extractor groove!
