Colt actions are rebuilt using genuine parts or perfect counterparts. We prefer originals, as the parts are higher quality. We don't work on Italian clones, have no parts for them. Your action can be "slicked up" to be smooth and crisp, WITHOUT using piano wire springs or grinding the heck out of the internal parts. My policy is to use only factory weight springs. Their attachment screws can be used to adjust tension, and you will be surprised how nice the actions feel. My goal it to build an action that is safe and reliable. If you want a "race" action, there are many individuals who will accommodate you throughout the country AND ACCEPT THE ASSOCIATED RISK OF CYLINDER/FRAME FAILURE
