Good job thanks
The only gun I ever had as a Royal Anglian cadet was a Lee Enfield .303 ! Kicked like a mule .. but I still got the crossed rifles badge using that. I like the old carbines bro ! They are heavy but they shoot straight ! ..It's a bit like the 1990's Volvo's .. 'they're boxy but they''re good!' Cheers bro, Jim
Sounds like sound logic to me.
I paid 600 bucks for mine. Shot it a few times then put it in a safe. Appreciate the information on it. Have a good one brother.
Colts were always overpriced imo. Plus dont like a 20" prefer the carbine length
Like a bit of a retro look. Right on. 👍 ︻╦╤─
colt purposely made one of the trigger pins bigger, to be assholes lmao.
Awesome vid man….Colt is the Godfather of the AR but, for me, they have always been over priced … If it doesn't work out of the box….Dump it…Good decision man…
The trigger pin should be held in by spring tension, unless someone just didn't know how to install a trigger.
You have to be able to trust your rifle or handgun. You bet your life on their reliability. Take care brother. Tennessee
New gun looks great đź‘Ťđź‘Ť. I have heard many issues about colt in the last 10 to 15 years. So many of my friends have drifted away from them because of price and quality issues. But I would take an older one.
It’s sad to see such an iconic company go down. Back in the day I shot a friends Goldcup 45 and his Python 357, such beautiful and precise tools. This is the evolution of gun companies, get new exciting companies giving good product and service or go with old stodgy companies living on their old reputation.
The machinist in me says to look at machining specifications / blue prints on the weapon and grab a micrometer , calipers , inside diameter measuring pins and see what is going on . Measure the OD / outside diameter of the retaining pin and the ID / inside diameter of the hole in receiver . Check the +/- on the print and see if either or both are out of specification …. tolerance  .
A collector and shooter are two different kinds of gun people. A collector buys for the worth and does not see a quality issue but a shooter will buy for quality and they will see the quality before they buy because they use their guns on the daily. Good video and God bless you!!
Not trying to cast dissertations on Colt but I've been getting alot of Stovepipes in my m45a1 that I recently purchased, maybe they don't care about making firearms anymore.
