Finally got it back!

[Steve12345]

Hi all,

Just wanted to share some decent pictures of my Grandad's Colt now I have finally got it back and say thanks for all the advice of people on this forum who have helped me. I am really glad that it can stay in the family. I have no idea how this condition compares to other pistols this age or how original it is, so would be good if anyone is able to comment?

I will probably have some questions about storing at some point to make sure I preserve it as best as possible, but for now I am just glad it is back where it belongs.

Cheers

Nice looking 1911. I am glad it all worked out for you.

[Steve12345]

Thanks all, any issues with dry firing etc. or ok to do? I read mixed things over what will cause damage baring in mind it's age and don't want any original parts damaged ideally.

Very nice , any update on the Sten?.

To be honest the Sten is back from NaBIS and just waiting for me to sort really. I guess at some point I will get it deactivated, just been more concentrating on the Colt for the time being, glad I didn't rush in to deac with it.

Hope you don't mind me being nosey, but is it on 7.3 or deactivated?
