They aren't the "wrong" size pins as much as they are "different" sized pins. After all, they are indeed the correct size..for that particular model, and that particular point in production.
When I hear "wrong" size, I think of a WECSOG gun.
Yes... Seen, shot, and maintained them in hard use.Quote:
My question is: Has anyone here ever seen one of this era of Colt rifles run HARD ?? I mean hard as in a carbine course or such. If so, how did they hold up? I would think just fine.
Shoot it and don't worry about it. A Colt carbine with politically correct components remains infinitely better than the good-as offerings with mil dim parts.
Run standard function checks. If it gtg then it's gtg. Get all happy trigger you want with it. The ones I've seen ran hard run as well as my m4geries and ARs. Getting jealous feeling. Might need to buy another... O god... brd is flaring up again.
Getting lots of good info. I thought that there had to be folks out there that had seen Colts of that era that had been put through their paces. There are just to many out there for there not to have been.
My favorite all time Colt is from then. The R6530 "Sporter Lightweight". 16" pencil barrel with thin forearm guards and a short stock. It weighs almost nothing and shoulders fast. Its an A2 configuration but I always intend on keeping it open sites anyway.
To me, what would be the ultimate would be that same rifle produced now in a SP version (non LE, Military) with the removeable carry handle.
