[QUOTE="Honeybee, post: 1001868, member: 3655"] Sorry Mr Ed this is not common, I repair colts and although a little slop, perhaps 10 thousands of an inch is common, being able to rotate the cylinder without the hammer in half cock is not. Because Colt parts generally serve more than one function in the gun there are a couple of different things that can be causing a loose cylinder, First of all the piece that grabs the cylinder at the bottom is called a bolt, if it is bent or worn that can cause it, another can be that the spring is damaged which happens a lot or the screw that holds it in place is damaged or rusted through, also could be that the safety lever is broken or bent. I have seen all of these things in colts. Repair can cost as much as $110, which would be $60 if replacing all of the parts I just mentioned and $50 labor for knowing where everything goes, getting it in there correctly and adjusting everything. There are 55 parts in and on that gun so think twice about doing it yourself. I charge more if the gun is already disassembled. [/QUOTE]
