Factory or Local Gunsmith

April 14, 2004 14:42

I have a 1962 Colt Python that has lite primer strikes about one in every six resulting in a failure to fire. Should I send it to Colt's factory shop, or is this the sort of job any local gunsmith could do?

Opinions please.

Should be a very routine job for your local gunsmith.

If you only have time to do two things so-so, or one thing well ... do the one thing!

It would be nice if the local gunsmith was Colt certified. My 2 cents [8D]

I have a Python that was tuned at the Colt Custom Shop. I know it sounds like overkill, but talk about a light crisp trigger! SWEET!

Cheapest way would to get a few different & slightly heavier hammer springs from Wolff and if you're not happy, spend the freight and send it to Colt.

The problem is.....if you ship to Colt, off the bat you will be spending $40-50 each way for shipping. You must ship it via UPS/FEDEX Next Day Air; check the rate calculators on their web sites.
