They specialize in sick Colt handguns. Work Uncle Gary doesn't typically like to do. This is for my old V-mainspring 1930's Official Police .22 RF. It's a bit loose and the "hand" on a Colt serves about 5-functions. It's a real pain even if you have the parts available.
I'm considering trying them. Mike charges $40 to log in and take a peek, goes toward the work. It would be nice to have a very tight and snug DA. It looks fantastic on the outside and bore. But the cylinder just feels loose. Bolt locking seems fine, just some play. Those true Colt mechanics know just what to peen and whack.
I'll keep you posted.
