Got Uzi Posted March 22, 2023 Report Share Posted March 22, 2023 (edited) I made a deal with a fellow board member for a reproduction Colt Navy horizontal fore end and a repop A type barrel. I need to get with a friend so we can install the barrel and then I’ll drill/pin the front sight. After the TCA Show/Shoot it’ll be off to get refinished so it’s all one color….I’m sure the Colt Cult purest group will lose it when I say I’m going to have it refinished in a Du-Lite blue to represent a pre WWII arsenal rework/refinish. The gun has been used/abused in its life as the receiver has usage marks…no point in putting a Colt blue over top of not perfect/smooth metal.

TD. Posted March 23, 2023 Report Share Posted March 23, 2023 John, I think a Colt 1928A is a wonderful idea. I look forward to seeing the completed project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got Uzi Posted March 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2023 The back story for this Colt NAVY is it is a pre sample gun that came out of Guatemala in 1981. Its a perfect candidate for this "conversion" as its not a 100% original gun and always will be a shooter grade Colt Thompson. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got Uzi Posted April 8, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2023 Here is is with the new barrel installed…spent my morning swapping barrels and then working on MP5’s and SD’s. Finished testing the NAVY A and it functions flawlessly and shoots where you point it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
