Now that's what I call a great first post!!Nice Navy! Do you plan to shoot it?
Oh crap ... you guys are KILLIN me with these original Colts. Very nice aquasition! That is exceptional.Is the hammer spring heavy? Can you tell what size hole is in the nipples?I am betting that those nipple holes have everything to do with the cap sucking problem with the new revolvers ... that and the light hammer springs.

I will compare it too my 2nd gen colt and a Uberti. I dont really have anything to measure the holes other than drill bits. Ill see if I can determine an approximation when I clean it soon.
