Hi!
Not 100% sure if this is the right forum but "Handguns - Autoloaders" seemed way to general so I thought I'd post it here.
A few days ago I got a "Colt Conversion Unit .22lr" ("CU") and soon realized that some parts are missing.
(I can't tell you from when the conversion unit is because it's one of those without any serial numbers)
The missing parts are the "Recoild Spring Plug" and "Recoil Spring Guide".
I don't think that the Plug would be the problem but I'm not sure about the "Spring Guide".
I already own a "Colt Gold Cup National Match Series 70 MkIV" ("GCNM") from 1972 and thought the conversion unit to be an good addition.
I took the parts that are missing from the CU from my GCNM and before I go to the range I thought it would be clever to ask if that's a good idea.
I don't want to break anything from CU or my GCNM!
On picture "1" you can see all parts I got with the CU and on picture "2" you see the GCNM frame with the parts I used from it (marked with an arrow).
Q1) Will the CU work fine with my GCNM parts or is it a bad idea to use them?
Q2) The missing parts should be fairly easy to get (at least that's what I hope)
Which should I order? Are there special parts for the Conversion Unit?
Q3) I'd also like to order a new "Recoild Spring". As two parts are missing I'm not sure if the spring
that came with the set is the right one.
Which one should I get just to be sure to have the right one?
Thanks a LOT in advance!!
