What's the barrel length? Looks like a nice shooter. This may be a dumb question (I am not sure which dash numbers go with which caliber or if some of the dash numbers were in either/or), but is it Colt or ACP?
I'm sure you already know this, but tension should be released from the mainsping before removing the sideplate. With the sideplate removed, the frame pins are only supported on one side.
THR members clued me to relieving the mainspring tension back when I asked how to properly remove the sideplate a couple years ago, but I forgot to do it.
.45 Colt, my bad. It shoots well. I shot it a little this weekend.
I have the parts out and wiped off. Now to clean and relube. Putting them back is always fun.
Well, I got it all cleaned, lubed, and back together. I thought I would never get my first one back together again, but I did. They still are not as easy as a 1911.
I am looking forward to shooting it some more this weekend if the weather clears. Its no collectors piece, but I like it.
