Hey Gang:
I have a Combat Commander that decided, while it sat around not being fired for a few years, that it won't work anymore. Every other round chambers only halfway, and if that isn't the problem, the hammer doesn't get fully cocked like the sear is fried. This is after about maybe 600 rounds through it. Today I decided to try my luck and it went fully automatic on me. Luckily it only had a couple of rounds left in the chamber. There is no way the sear should be shot unless perhaps there were some quality problems such as improper hardening or something along those lines. I called one of the boys at the gunsmith's and told him to order a sear and he also said he'd order a hammer "because they often go out at the same time." After less than 1000 rounds?
You Colt experts have any insights here?
Thanks
