I had this one happen to me today. New project gun, was not expecting that one.
Subject gun is a 90's colt officers model. Gun has had work on it by 2 prior smiths. High quality work. Fp stop appears to be OEM colt slightly loose but not unusual for colts I have worked on relative to a custom / semi custom gun.
I bought this gun figuring it would need a few things, already had to source a new spring for the kings guide rod and it needs a plunger tube.
I plan to fit a new square profile fp stop anyway, there may be slight ejector clocking as well so its no huge deal to replace this, extractor likely as well for the fun of it. Of course a new fp spring. Anything else to address?
Other than the above gun ran great, even held as limp wristed as I dared. Impressed for an officers gun. Gun has had the melt treatment and feels great.
