    Just noticed your pistol was made in 1973 those had very good quality control.
    That's makes sense. As always thanks for the heads up and advise. I have stuff ordered, should all be their when we get back from vacation. The plan is hopefully to address any known issues then have some fun with it.

    Any Series 70 becomes a Gold Cup with a trigger job, a match barrel and good sights. Sights like your's.
    I was torn on replacing the collet bushing because many ran just fine. I primarily decided to replace it just to keep the original as is. I've hard fit several from EGW and have had good results. I will probably never sell this one and will pass it on to one of the kids, but wanted all the original parts. The trigger in this gun will be hard to get use to, but it is a work of art none the less. I wonder how the new CNC guns compare to the older well fit guns.
