Damn, tiny tiny depressor spring did a houdini on me.
Jumped out and simply vanished…
No 47 in the schematic on the first pic.
I was following an instruction video on the tube-site. That guy had a different type of depressor than I have. It,was pretty straightforward to determine how it fits together except for the vanishing act of the springything…
Next step is getting a new one (or two or three, just in case)
I used dry lube (from wd40) so far. Should I use some actual oil too? I don’t want to gunk up the internals but everything has to be well lubricated of course.
Ordered two cans of balistol and a bunch of pipecleaners.
I’m having a blast fiddling with this Colt, and I am learning every step!
My next project will be the 92fs. It needs some tlc as well.
