techmike Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Hi Tracker, welcome to Tac 22, and congrats on your Colt! I have an early model, mine is removed by driving out the roll pin, (rear), the front pin is spring loaded, just depress it with a small punch and remove the trigger guard. Let us know if yours is different.TM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracker175 Posted February 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Tech mike,It's still the same setup. I assume mine is the latest version as I just got it at Buds gun shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let us know if yours is different.TMI have heard that doing this is difficult on the Colt because of the metal the use, I hear it cracks easy.. Anyone shine some light on this for for me or am I just being a wimp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodent.22 Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 The lower receiver is aluminum, I switched mine out, no issues. The Colt is accused of being all pot metal, blah, blah on many internet boards. In fact it is a purposely-built .22 rifle made by Walther in Germany for it's parent company UMAREX. Built under license from Colt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techmike Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 +1 on what Rodent said. It's not hard, I used an AR15 vise block, One of These, or you can use a Bench Block to support the rifle. (You can do it without those blocks, it's just a good excuse to order AR tools and/or other stuff from Brownells) Use a 1/8" diameter pin punch, and a small brass hammer. Drive the roll pin, (rear trigger guard pin), out from the right side of the rifle - it just takes a few very light taps and it doesn't even have to come all of the way out. As soon as the pin clears the trigger guard, it will swing down. The front pin is a captive spring loaded affair, just use your pin punch and press the front pin in and pull the trigger guard out. Reverse procedure to re-install. (Your mileage may vary)TMPS - If you do order from Brownells, use the link at the top - lowered shipping costs on orders above $125, don't forget to enter the code at check-out.
