Colt trooper repair

I need to get a new ratchet for my colt trooper (the original trooper). My local gunsmith said that the ratchet is not sold as a separate part, and that I should send it to Colt to get it replaced. How good / responsive is Colt's repair service? Is there another "Colt specialist" that could do the work?

thanks in advance

Colt is VERY good, and no one knows more about it then they do.
Also, they have brand new parts on hand.

Another good repair service is:
Pittsburgh Handgun Headquarters
1330 Center Ave.
Pittsburgh, PA 15229
(412) 766-6100

Pittsburgh used to be a prime Colt authorized warranty repair station and still have parts.

First choice: Colt.
 
Your gunsmith is correct. The original Colt ratchet was screwed onto the ejector rod, but about the time the Trooper came out they changed and made the ratchet/extractor in one piece with the stem. Now they sell that part only with the cylinder, so the cost is quite high.
