Can you help troubleshoot a problem with my Colt Government Model Series 70, 45 Auto?
Here's what happens. 1. Cock hammer and engage the thumb safety. 2. Attempt to fire, ie squeeze and release the trigger (gun does not fire). 3. Still grasping the firearm so the grip safety is disengaged, push the thumb safety down (disengage). 4. The hammer drops to half-cock.
I assume I have a hammer, sear, or sear spring issue, but don't want to assume any thing. Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks,
John
