Have an issue with my Colt Gold Cup National Match Series '70 after all of this time. I haven't fired it in some time, but I've noticed that the slide doesn't slam forward easily when it's released. Like it binds. I did let a smith look at it a while back and he said that it shouldn't be a problem as the force of the pressure from a fired round would throw it all the way forward. Even so, I want it to naturally and easily work as it's suppose to. Anyway, I'm contributing this to it's stock "collet" bushing that is very tight . . .
Has anyone experienced this and have a solution? Possibly have changed the collet bushing out to a solid bushing?
