Rimcrew Posted June 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 (edited) What about the actuator in the 21A? It didnt look like an original Colt part in the picture?All three original actuators are in zip lock bags in a parts box. Each 21 has an aftermarket actuator in it now, but the original is in a bag. The 28N has a GI actuator and buffer pilot, but all the originals are also in a baggie. The 28N does appear to have the original bolt as it has the more rounded end, and there are no markings on it. The only original part I could not find was the bolt for the 21A. A nice bonus find is a shot shell magazine. I could not believe is was tucked away in the parts box.

ppgcowboy Posted June 14, 2019 Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 (edited) On the 28 Navy bolt, would there appear to be a X stamped under were the blish lock when properly placed would be? It has been discussed in the following link. Edited June 14, 2019 by ppgcowboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, your last post clears it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merry Ploughboy Posted June 14, 2019 Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 FWIW, I bought a used complete Colt bolt from the late Gordon Herigstad ten or more years ago for $750. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
