Title: Recommendations for a Gunsmith with Colt Lightning Experience
Post by: Major Matt Lewis on October 21, 2017, 08:43:50 PM

I have an authentic Colt Lightning manufactured in 1901 that could use some new springs so all the bullets can go boom.  Any idea who I could talk to about this?

Major Matt, I don't know of a smith, but here's a source for the springs:

Get in touch With Lassiter.  He knows how to make them run.

Lassiter works on Lightning rifles.  You need to note this is a revolver.
