Colt Anaconda

[Pj0759@aol.com]

Hi guys,I recently bought a new Colt Anaconda 44mag/8" barell in stainless steel,brand new in the box. My question is the finish is excellent on the gun,however the trigger,hammer assembly etc appears to be made out of a different kind of metal,or unfinished,and kinda different color, the lower part of trigger assembly is very rough,kind of pitted,tool marks etc. I would have thought it would be finished same as the gun. Is this normal,or did I get maybe some last of the bunch type parts since this model is no longer being made? Would Colt correct this? If so,I have heard some horror stories about sending guns to Colt,and taking forever to get them back. Anybody with some advice,etc..would be appreciated..thanks...PJ

Nope, that's the way those parts normally look. Those parts are cast, sintered, injection molded or something similar (I forget which proccess Colt uses). Hence they will have that coarse look to them. They are made this way as a cost saving measure.
