Took mine apart for cleaning one time & IIRC had a hell of a time getting the backstrap safety & related springs back in properly. The assembly instructions by James Triggs in American Rifleman (Sept 1956) looked good but it wasn't that easy. 0 -
Years ago, someone sent me down a pile of parts that was the General's
1903 32ACP to "clean". Never having seen one before, it was some time
before I realized the hammer spring was broken.
I spent a day in making and fitting that V-spring out of a 50 cal M-2
part and hardening it using two gas blowtorches. I asked the impatient General for some ammo to test it, which he begrudgingly sent.
When I told him the gun was finished and tested, the General said "I don't want a gun with a homemade spring in it."He drew another out of Ordnance Major Items and sent it in for checkout.
I sweated for two days figuring out how it worked and making a part with an impatient General on my case only to have my efforts waved off. I never found out who broke that spring.
Since that event in Korea, I've had no use for the Colt Pocket Pistol 1903 or its' crazy internal design.0 -
If its anything like my grandfathers was. Take your time and go easy on the caffine when your assembling it. It is a intricate and complex mechanism...
Good Luck!0
