1921 Actuator on eBay


Recommended Posts

sorry for my novice question, but how to recognize an original 1921 actuator against a modified 1928 or new one ?

I have an extra one, and will happy to know if it is a colt or not

It won't have any Savage or Stevens, or Remington stamps on it (obviously), and it will have finer (different from any knurling on any ww2 actuator) knurling. I believe all the Colt actuators also have more of a keyhole shaped slot in the actuator knob.

 

I'm sure others here that actually have them can post pictures.

The early Colt actuators had a keyhole slot. It was redesigned to make it stronger.
