Dave,
I saw nothing in Mike's posts indicating you got "taken" or flinging poo on you or your gun.
USFA started out their SA line with Uberti-supplied parts, and that involved more than just frames.
They also used Uberti specs, not Colt specs.
Mike was simply attempting to give you information, and from a very knowledgeable & qualified background.
He does know his stuff.
Depending on what age & what part, specific USFA parts may or may not be interchangeable with Colts.
Remember the difference in Italian specs & Colt specs.
Donnelly ran USFA like his own personal toy store, and besides playing with various ideas that never went anyplace, also insisted in making all parts (after switching from Italian to domestic) in-house, which was a very expensive way to go about it.
At one point, about three years back, he decided to drop everything & start over with his zip-gun.
There you have a condensed USFA overview.
