Colt Huntsman re-assembly, in Omaha

<< < (2/3) > >>

warren209:
I've tried to remove the spring, unsuccessfully.  I did slide the spring back as far as I could, but the spring guide was still blocking the hole.  Even with the spring removed, it didn't seem possible to reinsert the button.  That's why I don't know where to go from here.  Thanks for your input.

JAK:
The link below is to a website specializing in the Colt Woodsman and includes instructions of how to remove and replace the recoil spring.

May also want to check out this link,

It shows the correct relation between the recoil spring and the assembly lock.

Thanks John K.  In my case, the assembly lock is out of position and is sticking in the up position above the spring.  That spring is a bear to push and hold back to get it attached to the assembly lock.  I'm probably going to have to take it to a gunsmith to get it fixed.

I kept trying to make it work and in the process, I broke the assembly lock.  Thanks for everyone's help.
