The base does screw off. It is very annoying, but not impossible, to reassemble it. Be sure to protect your eyes. It may or may not be staked. Use a drop...

I've got a Colt Gold Cup with a bit of a problem. It seems as though it starts to lose its point of impact after about 50 - 75 rounds or so, and gradually...
You did not exactly spell it out, but I am assuming it drifts as it heats up? Or does it drift with accumulation of whatever you are removing when cleaning...
I am not exactly familiar with the old Gold Cups, but does that have a solid bushing or a collet one? Jack is much more experienced than me, listen to him. ......
As far as I know, all Series 70 pistols including S70 Gold Cups were originally assembled with the finger bushing. Because there was a lot of controversy...
Are you sure this isn't a shooter fatigue issue? There would have to be something seriously wrong with the barrel, slide, bushing, or all three to cause a...

You know, you raise a good question here and I am not sure of the answer. This is going to require some additional testing to see if heat or dirt is the...
All things are possible I suppose, but I haven't experienced this with any of my other handguns. I shoot right handed, and when I get tired, I tend to 'pull'...
So I took my misbehaving 1911 to the range tonight, and I found out the cause of the issue. It wasn't the gun at all, it was the adjustable sights. Every time...

Just my opinion but I'd say at 70% the max would be $300 and that's being fairly generous. 70% to me indicates not only wear but a need for some replacement...
Thank you for the reply. I was at a gun show. I found this gun on a table as a private sale, which is legal here in Texas. The price was $550. I did not...
$550 for an Argentinian clone at 70% condition is way too much. On the other hand, $800 for a Para Ordnance, depending on the model, is an average (if not a...
David, as you possibly already know, the Argentine is essentially a Colt, built on Colt machinery to Colt specs, either by Colt personnel while training...
Geez that was way to high. I'm glad you passed on both. Para is kinda funny because they have 1911's at $600 and then jump to almost a $1000. Darned if I can...
I went back to the gun show today armed with my blue book of gun values. I was prepared to offer the guy blue book price for a 90 percent gun, which is $450....

Very true---things have just gone nuts in the last few months. My dealer is paying $25 (his cost) for Federal American Eagle 45acps!!!...
I found them on the net in very good condition, with matching numbers on frame, slide and barrel for $300. I can get it on my C&R license for $12 shipping. ...
The last Argentine Systemas I found cost me $400 bucks each when I found a pair that looked like new manufacture, using old numbered barrels stored for...
Yeah, they are pretty solid, though the later ones show that the Argentinians weren't much for keeping their toolheads sharp. The custom I built on mine had...
