I was cleaning my Colt .45auto, when I shot the "Main Spring Cap Pin" (holds the mainspring assy. inside the Mainspring Housing) accross the room...
I assembled the pistol w/o the pin, (carefully lined up hammer strut and pushed Mainspring housing into place and put M.S. Housing pin into place.) and the pistol functions fine.
I called Colt Customer Service, (1-800-962-COLT) and talked with a man named Glenn, He found the part # "SP50160B" (blue) was in stock, and said he`d send it FOR FREE...
I asked about shipping time, and he said that he would go out to the shop and just "grab" one of the pins for me and mail it, thereby bypassing the 2-3 weeks it normally takes to "Process and Ship" a normal order request...
I am VERRYYY pleased.
Has anybody else ever had one of their weapons disassembled and lost a piece ?
And if so, what did you do..?
