I feel kinda silly asking this, but does the 1903 Colt .32 Hammerless have a safety depressor? I'm rebuilding one, and have purchased a depressor, but cannot figure out where the darn thing fits into the works.

I have a few diagrams of the piece, but they cover both the .32 and the .380...So, is it only the .380 that has the depressor, or does the .32 also?
If the .32 has a depressor, where the Hell does it go???:confused:
 
Colt 1903 reassembly

It goes, but it's hell to do. Put in the sear spring, then I put in the grip safety and then the mainspring (small side forward) in between them. The hammer must be in forward position. Sometimes a little masking tape will hold the whole mess together while you curse. Good luck to you and the RedSox.
 
One of the few firearms that gave me fits. I stayed up until 3 AM getting it back together. Now I never break my 1903 down for any reason.
