Warden Callaway Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 We have a Colt SAA 45Colt, made in 1962 that was my brother-in-law's. When he got it in late 1960s, it had already been modified and use as a quick draw gun. He carried it a lot and shot a train car load or lead through it. The action was worn out so he retired it and bought a Ruger Blackhawk 45Colt/ 45ACP back when they were 3 screw. It had been in our safe for about 20 years. Last year I decided to see if I could restore the action. I found a new Colt New Frontier hammer in what looked like new condition at an affordable price. Off and on over the past year I have fitted the hammer and had the action locking up well. I was going to shoot it in a match last weekend and got it out. But the cylinder wasn't locking up so it staid at home. I figured the problem was with the bolt/sear spring. I decided to take the time to make a video of the process. The operation seems to have been successful. If we don't get rained out, I plan to shoot it tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
