Pm me where you are located. I may have one if it’s close.

This was the project, found buried in a cigar box in a family barn. Story is grand dad put there back in the 50s.
Barn came down and this was found. Serial puts it as a colt made in 1913
I was able to get the slide free, main spring housing off , safety free and grip safety moving , sear spring was broken.
Mag and trigger are really frozen .
Going back together for a display piece.

Only want the sear spring so grip safety returns

Cocked and loaded only way right.
Its empty, trigger, mag, hammer are all frozen still. Had it in the electrolysis. Tank for days. Plus a soak in evaporust and kroil. Its at a point of good enough to display in a case

Holy crap. Wanna sell it?

I'm sure I have an sear spring sitting around you can have. But seriously if you want to sell it I'd be interested.

Dang. I would have said my prayers and put a few mags through that thing.

I was hoping to get the mag and trigger/hanmer free and at leadt toss the 22lr kit on it

Really cool!

Bead blasted and parkerized it might look pretty good.

Sarco used to sell (and may still) a complete set of internals for about $100.

Good luck

Ill bet Greg Derr could bring it back to life......

the cost of the evap O rust was plenty

Greg could do it but how much of the original pistol would be left ? It could also cost close to raising the Arizona and making it sea worthy. Leave it as is and marvel at the history.
